I don't know. I guess I think he'll be concerned with my energy levels dropping or something from all the running around or the increased activity without being able to take in enough food for fuel. I know I can't lift or help patients up too much because I'm still healing. I know how to take it easy and I work with a great team so they're always willing to help.

Jen I went back to work full time after 2.5 weeks. I have been exhausted, but fine. I am a coordinator at a hospital. A lot of walking back and forth, but not extremely stressful.

Good luck!

I'm having a lot of weakness also. It will be 3 weeks since my surgery on Tues. I am not ready to go back to work. Just getting dressed in the morning is exhausting. Has anyone tried New Whey Protein Shots? I think I'm weak due to not getting enough Protein. But I still haven't been able to find anything that I can tolerate. I get so nauseated. If it wasn't for my lack of energy I would be able to go back to work now. I'm eating soft foods and doing well. But not enough to meet my daily requirements.

Try the Unjury vanilla Protein Shakes. Just add about 2 ounces more of Water. Its very easy to dissolve and ypu can add a little peanut buttet or banana or a teaspoon of instant coffee to it. That drink was a lifesaver for me. I also really like the Champion chocolate brownie. I get mine from my surgeons office but it can be ordered on line from Amazon as well.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
