Surgery 3 weeks out?



Recommended Posts

I was suppose to have surgery in July and delayed because my boss asked me to so that I could work that month. I am

A little resentful to be honest.

I have another window in early October but would need to be back at it working 3 weeks after surgery. I travel by car and am in sales. I know I can't lift heavy items and I think I have all that worked out.

How was everyone feeling 3 weeks after surgery. Do you feel you could been working, driving 4/6 hours. Ect. Ect. Any feedback would be so appreciated.

I'm just a little over 1 week out and I feel great! I can't imagine how great I'll fell in two more weeks. I had very little pain and took no pain meds after surgery. However, everyone is different.

I'm 3 weeks yesterday, and I spent all day either visiting my clients in jail, or representing them in court...on my feet a lot and I felt fine, and my clients got some favorable outcomes. I think 3 weeks you should be fine as long as you walk a lot and stay hydrated.

Only thing anyone noticed is my boss asked if I "didn't like" my lunch because I only took a few bites and boxed it up. I explained (vaguely,) that I had to have surgery due to some health problems (which is true,) and that I now feel full very quickly.

Make sure your insurance company is informed. I had to delay my surgery for a month because of work, and my insurance company tried to un-approve me the day before my rescheduled surgery. My surgeon, thankfully, was able to get the approval reinstated, or I might not be writing this.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

      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.
