The comfort of home

My two weeks of sick leave are almost done and I'll be returning to work next week.  My surgery last week was fine and I've been home taking my time getting my water and protein in.  It takes me all day but I eventually get it in.  I've been saying how bored I am but I'm starting to freak out about going back in to the real world.  I live alone so I'm really not tempted by the smells of food and seeing people smack except for last weekend when the fam came with their popeyes etc.  I was able to get through that but this is going to be everyday and drug rep companies love sending us free food...people are always just eating in the clinics I work at.  I won't be able to have food I can really chew until the first week of March.  Just keep me in your prayers that I'll be able to continue to get in all my protein and water and that I don't mourn food.

First let me say congrats on making it to Looserville ..........However dont feel bad if you start mourning food.....we all went throught that phase early out.    What ever you do dont have a food item before the recommened wait time your surgeon/nutrionist  has given you.

Thank you. It's nice to be on the loser's bench.  I appreciate you making room for me...lol

 It's weird, while I'm here at home I can watch the food network channel and have no cravings.  I'm just praying this continues but I'm not going to jeopardize my health with eating early girl.  I just pray I don't turn into a ***** while I'm on liquids...lol.

I had surgery 12/08/08 and I still don't have an appetite. You are going to be fine!

I hope all goes well for you when you get back to work Apple!!!

(BTW: You're not getting any free food from any Eli Lilly drug reps are you???  If so send me their names...so I can report them...LOL.)

Thank you Wonka and Doug

apple good luck...you will be fine I was mean as hell to my co-workers when I first came back I did'nt want anyone to talk to me or ask me how was I feeling....try to be patient with your coworkers as much as you can and if you need to go in the bathroom and nibble so as to not draw attention to yourself so they will not be asking you all sorts of questions....lol Best of luck -Miranda

Thank you Miranda.  I'll just hide away in my office if I feel the *****iness coming on.

CONGRATS!!!!!  


going back is hard but i think it help put me back on a schedule!!!!   We also get the rep lunches!  Watching my co-workers pig out made me even more thankful for this tool lol 


Take it easy the first couple weeks back.

Candace,

That's a good way to look at it...thanks
