How Soon After Vg Did You Go Back To Work?

[Jimvw 0]

I'm ten days post op and going back to work on Monday. I've been mostly pain free for days now. I've lost 15 pounds and I couldn't be happier. Combined with my pre op weight loss I'm down 30 pounds. Listen to your body. It will tell you when you are ready.

Was planning on going back a week after surgery but my surgeon said it was too soon and kept me out an extra week. I went back after 2 weeks.

I'm lucky enough to have a desk job and bosses that don't expect me to come in at full speed. I will be able to work shorter days anytime I need to. Everybody's story is different so it's great just to support each other for we have given up a lot to be where we are today.

I'm learning slowly but surely not to compare myself and my journey to others. If I do that I'm not being fair to myself.

I was out six days. I worked for a week and then had a week of scheduled vacation time (I'm an educator and that week was our last week of summer). Going back to work helped me a lot because I was able to focus on something other than myself.

That's a great way to get the time off you need. I'm a high school librarian so not much physical work. We make it work for us because we have to.

Thanks. So fat so good. I dropped two pant sizes in 8 days and I feel great. I hope you are also doing well and enjoying the benefits of this new life we have.
