First Day Back To Work



Recommended Posts

First day back to work and I'm still lacking energy. Having a hard time getting enough Protein down but my doctor says its ok while I'm on phase 2 (full liquid/purée) any suggestions on how to gain some energy for work?

I feel for you, it was hard going back to work. Make sure your getting your Vitamins in (B12 and iron) help. I would come home exhausted for the first two weeks back, but it does get easier.

Make sure you get as much Protein and Water as you can. My first week back was hard. I kept getting drowsy mid-afternoon. The everyday naps while I was off were hard to give up. Make sure you get a good nights sleep too.

Also, my dr said it was ok to increase the B-12 to help increase energy.

Don't worry, it gets better just about every day.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out n I just went back to work last night. I work in the ER. Haven't been taking Vitamins. Just took one B12 yesterday and my multi Vitamin is chewable n gross! I take it about once every other day. I know I need to do better but I feel like a little kid when I taste it. Ewwww.

      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.
