Recommended Posts

I'm taking a week. I probably could get away with less but I would like to have some sort of comfort with my routine before I go back to work. I figure I can always go back early if I am feeling up to it but it's harder to take extra days.

I'm actually taking 5 wks. I have a TON of sick time and I figured, why not....mine as well use it. I haven't had more than a week off at a time from work since my last son was born 4 yrs ago. I am a RN and I have a very physical job so I really want to be healed before going back.

How many days are you guys taking off after surgery? My surgeon just told me to take a couple..

I'm taking off 3 weeks but really hope to be back in 2.

I plan on taking 4 weeks off, due to what my profession is, but I think it will be good to have the extra time off. I heard someone had surgery on a Wednesday, then went back on that friday!! Lord I couldn't do that lol.

March 10....yikes! Lisa J, we will be sleeve twins. I'm taking 4 weeks. Doc says he will release office workers in 2 if necessary, but really feels 4 are necessary to learn new plumbing. Also, I have rheumatoid arthritis and a lot of mobility/fatigue issues, so a little extra TLC can't hurt.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
