How Do You Do It?

So Monday Aug 6th was my first day back at work since getting sleeved on July 2nd. I wake up at 5:30am to make it to work by 8am.. I get home between 5-6pm which means dinner is done by 6-7pm. I am so exhausted that by the time I eat all I want is to lay down and rest and hopefully fall asleep and get my full 7-8 hours of rest. I know we are suppose to stay active for at least 2 hours after eating but how does everyone do this??? I could barely keep my eyes open

Listen to your body. Rest when you need to rest. Even if it is just a quick nap. I would focus on staying hydrated and getting your Protein in. You can worry about the rest later. Right now your body is taking every ounce of protein you consume to heal a wound, which doesn't leave much in the energy department. Once your stomach starts to heal, you will notice an increase in energy levels. Hang in there.

I agree. Go with the rest. Just going back to work is a lot of activity when you are healing. Cut yourself some slack. The rest will come!
