Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Back to work  I am having alot of anxiety about returning to work! I work in a what is called a sterile environment water is not allowed and get this i get three breaks a day 2 15 min and one half hr. . How will I ever get in my fluids with this kind of schedule.. I did talk to the Dr. about it and he said to drink on two breaks and eat on one but i can't drink fast 64 oz. I am having trouble getting that in now and i have all day to do it. So needless to say I am very worried about dehydration. Maybe I just worry to much ! Maybe it's time to look for a new job. Cindy

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Morning Cindy GOOD LUCK ON GOING BACK TO WORK. I was happy when I got to go back. BELIEVE THAT ONE. LOL I can see that you are worried about the water thing. I, to was very worried about getting enough water in. I work as a CNA, starting my LPN classes, hopefully in the fall. So, what I do is a pretty busy kind of job. I was very worried. In the beginning, you are right. It is hard for you to get your food intake, plus all that water. I admit, some days I didn't get enough water in me. You just have to take it day by day, and do the best that you can. Slowly, you are able to get in what you need. That was in my case anyway. I made a schedule actually. Like, in the morning, I would get up earlier than usual just to start my drinking. Throughout the day, especially at work, I would make the time other than breaks to get in at least most of my fluids. I hear ya with the break thing though. Sometimes, I didn't get a break. BUSY BUSY BUSY. So, when that happened, when I got home, I made sure to get in the most I could. Even if that meant staying up a little later. That part, the water intake I mean, does get better, the further out you go from the day of your surgery. In the beginning, you almost think to yourself, if my stomach stays this small, I am for sure, going to dehydrate. It does all fall into place though. Believe me. HANG IN THERE KIDDO. You are very normal and have a right to be concerned. IT'S NORMAL, and everything will fall into place.  mike |

Weight Loss Method Controlled Eating & Exercise | Well that kind of sucks. I hear that water is one of the most important thinks after surgery. Have you talked to your managers about giving you a little help? I know how managers can be, but can they neglect that it is a medical necessity? Well, I hope it all works out for you. Good luck!!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thanks everyone for your input and well wishes. I think that I will end up talking to the supervisor about it and see if I can get out more often to get something to drink. Thanks again Cindy
