I'm a teacher in an alternative high school (students who are at-risk with emotionally disabilities) and I took six weeks. I was sleeved on 4/30/12. I am 54 and really needed the first month. I was tired, drained, exhausted, and just trying to care for myself and my family. The last two weeks were a gift; I had the chance to work on some new habits and strategies, I was able to ease into a routine, I began to exercise and take better care of myself. I was really happy and ready to return to work and this has been an awesome year.

Hi. I am a hospital nurse. Work on my feet most days with only 15 min break in morning and afternoon and 30 min. lunch break. I took four weeks off and felt ready to work. The first few weeks post op I would get tired easily and it takes that long to get used to your new way of eating. I think I could of gone back at three weeks because that is when my energy level started to get back to normal. Good luck!

I am a firefighter and went back to active duty with no restrictions after 13 days.

The first week after a surgery was hard and I wasnt sure that I would be ready, but after the sixth day I started to get a liitle bit better everday.

      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...

      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.
