Oh my gosh! You must be super woman! Good for you. Congratulations on your weight loss and your new baby!

I took two weeks off, but my third day back I had to go home early, I was feeling extremely light headed and nauseous. After slowly sipping some diluted juice and napping, I felt much better. It's been 23 days since my VGS and I feel pretty good. My energy level is still not what it was pre-diet, but my weight related pain levels are seriously down and I feel like I am doing better than I was pre-surgery. I lost almost 50 lbs. over 4 months before the surgery, and have lost 25 more since the surgery. I fit everything better, I have had to get rid of some clothes already, and even my feet seem to be slimmer! I think the (hopefully temporary) energy drop is worth the elation I every time I look in the mirror!

I took off two weeks, I'm glad I did. I needed it. Everyone is different tho.

Everyone is different. My surgery was on a Tuesday and I felt great by Friday. Could have gone back to my desk job that Friday but waited till Monday.
