Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Im wondering if anyone cut it as close as im going to need to and how they did. I know everyone recovers differently- just looking for some averages here. I am a retail manager and can only take, at the most, 11 days off work. Was anyone else back this quickly? Im reading all the post op threads here and getting a little nervous!

I am a retail store manager and had my procedure done on a Monday and was back to work the following Monday. I really had no issues other than being a little tired, by my 3rd day back I was working my usual 12 hour days.

I work from home teaching internet classes and I took two weeks off. My biggest problems on return to work were sitting for long periods hurt my abdomen and concentration, concentration was definitely harder! I think you will be okay !

I have an office job and could have gone back to work in a week or so. I chose to take off 3 weeks but I was definitely restless and eager to go back after 2. Recovery is different for eveyone but I think you should be fine.

I am a one person cleaning crew at a 225 unit apartment complex.

I ended up resuming very light duty 2 weeks post op. I didn't have the stamina to resume my full duties so I had to have help. I also was on only liquids until week 4 post op tho, so it's possible that my lack of stamina was because of that.

I have an office job. I took 1 week & 3 days off. Still suffered from soreness in the large incision, but the moving around helped.

      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.
