I took two weeks. I could have gone less, but what the hell, I had enough sick time.

I It was originally going to take One week off but the surgeon suggested two weeks... Some people go back after one week and some take the whole month or so off.. It really depends on how you heal and how you feel

I was sleeved last Tuesday and felt good enough to go back to work the following Monday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying these two weeks off! :D

I took a month off work. I do a lot of climbing and lifting at work so my doctor wanted me to take more time then normal off.

I think it depends on how physically demanding your job is, but I have help with the kids for two weeks, I am a stay at home Mom.

I work in an office so I took a week off. Well, I worked from home. If you do move around a lot, two weeks may be better. However, you can have some extra pain two to three weeks after surgery when you start moving around more because you're pulling on the stitches.

      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.
