Hey everyone,

My surgery was 8 days ago and my first day back at work is today. I'm wondering when everyone else went back?

i went back in 12 days but could have gone sooner. I just took off two weeks because it was easier. Good luck.

I went back to work the day after I got out of the hospital, really tired should have waited at least 4 days. You will be fine.

I had surgery on Friday and went back to work that Monday. In hindsight I see I needed more time to heal. Surgery is trauma to the body and it needs time to rest and heal. I would suggest a minimum of a week. Now my weekend is spent trying to catch my breath.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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...

        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.
