If you are not into purees yet, you should be soon. Once I got to soft foods, I started to feel better. I did not really get any energy until I was eating regular cooked foods at 4 1/2 weeks, Pain meds made me sick to my stomach. Once I stopped those and other post-op meds, the nausea got better. Did you get a prescription for the Scolomine Patches that you stick behind your ear? They were a big help for me. I hope you feel better soon.

Luckily I am retired. I just cannot imagine having to go back to work or taking care of small children post-op. I have a lot of respect for those who had to.

I guess it depends on the kind of work you do. If you drove a Google Earth Satellite van around, I guess you could go back in a few days, but if you are a hotel housekeeper or construction worker, you certanly would have to recover longer. Maybe some others here can help you with that question.
