Back to work :)



Recommended Posts

I returned to work today after being sleeved on the 12th. I took two vacation days to "help out with my kid's Valentine's Day parties". I actually feel fine. I have no pain other than an earache that I've picked up. Bending over is still slightly uncomfortable, otherwise I'm doing very well. I am SERIOUSLY craving some meat though--Iike I want to chew something in a bad way! Hoping things continue to be smooth sailing!

Good luck today and remember to drink your Water. I was so busy my first day back at work I did not and ended up in the ER for dehydration. But that is the one and only complication I have ever had and I do blame myself.

Wow. I can't imaging having gone back to work that fast. I went back 15 days post-op and it was still pretty tough. My main issues was fatigue. I was just SO exhausted by the end of the day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
