when can I get back to work

[stept04 465]

Hey Stept04 I had my surgery yest too. How u doing?? I don't feel bad really. I did have some beef broth earlier and I loved it. I'm supposed to be working on 60 oz of fluids. I've got just about 16 oz down. I just feel bloated.

I feel real bloated too. It's all I can do to get down my 4 Protein drinks and some broth, it might be 40 oz. Other than that I'm doing OK, not in to much pain mostly sore. Hurts most at the port site. Hope you'll do OK with your recovery.

I'm a hairdresser so I'm up moving all day long I took a total of 8 days. I was ready to go back then. After 3 days I would have died. For some reason for me on day 5 I was ready to get out so I went shopping but was still moving slow. By the time I went back I was feeling awesome! Everyone is different!

I went back to work nine days post op. I made it till two o'clock and then went home. I was weak or tired, I just couldn't sit any longer. It hurt my port site. It put to much tension on it. I am going back tomorrow and try to move around more.

I have a desk job, and I took 2 weeks as recommended by my surgeon. I'm so glad I did, because I had a lot of discomfort at the port incision for a while after surgery. I was also pretty tired. Of course, as others have said, everyone is different.
