Time off of work?

[alyce 61]

I was just sleeved on Wednesday august 27... Monday is Labor Day and I plan on going in on Tuesday to work. I am a teacher and I work with small groups with reading intervention and the children come to me. If I feel like it's too much I will go home ... I don't require a sub....but I hoping it will be fine.

I took a week off. I didn't have pain, but sitting upright was hard. You really don't eat enough calories to use too much of your brain. There is no energy. I wish I had taken two weeks cause I ended up having to take a sick day the next week.

My surgery will be on a Thursday morning, go home Thursday evening, and the surgeon says I can go back to work on Monday. I'm not going to go back that quick because even though I have a desk job, my husband (who is getting sleeved the same day as me) has a much more physical job, so he's taking a week off and I'm staying home with home. I figure that gives us time to adjust to things together.

I felt great after 5 days from the surgery itself. But the exhaustion and getting used to the new eating was a challenge. I recommend two weeks minimum off

The lil bit of calories u will consume ur body will use it to heal. ..I am 7 wks out an still have energy an stamina issues. I would hope ur surgeon would write for at least 2 wks off. It took me a good 4 to 5 wks to still adjust to new lifestyle. My surgeon said if u can just get thru the first month u got it made. He's right. ..hang in there. One of the best things I've done for myself. .
