I'm sure all people recover differently but my experience was, surgery on Wednesday and back to work on Monday. I do have a fairly easy job though because about 80% of my day is spent sitting at a desk :-). I will say that I wish I had've gone back a couple of days after my surgery, because when I did go back on Monday it definitely made me feel 100% better! I honestly think 2 days down time would've been enough for me. Hope this helps and good luck!

I took 2 weeks off. Felt pretty yucky for 4 days... day 5 felt like my old self, except I got tired easily for about a month. I could have gone back after a week, but I had lots of Vacation time so I took the full 2 weeks off. Good Luck to you!

I am hopefully having my surgery on April 29th, and will be taking a week off, and that is only because I work 3 12hr shifts, so the way my shifts work and my days off, it turns out to be one week. Best of luck!

I took a week off. I'll be off from April 5th (day of surgery) to the 12th. If I need to, I can also stay home and work for the rest of that week so I will probably have about 2 weeks off total.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
