First day back at work, 10 days post op



Recommended Posts

What a day. I'm so tired, I was fine up until about 1:00.. Then I've not been able to get much of anything down. Only about 2ounces of my Protein Shake, 1 bottle of Water... I've got to find energy

I went back to work at 1 week, but only 6 hour days until my one month check up - and I am ready to go home and look after my needs.

The first day is really tough! I went back at 2 1/2 weeks and was pretty tired for a week or so. It's gets better. Get some rest tonight!

I work in HR I still haven't done the surgery but I can only take 2 weeks off. My job is very demanding sometimes I'm all over the place with constant meetings and I'm worried I won't be able to cope

Well I took 1 week off plus the weekend so I had 10 days to recover.according to the amazing feedback I'm getting, it takes time. So I'm just gonna take it one day at a time. Had I told anyone about my surgery I probably would have taken 2 weeks. Nobody knows but my husband n daughter. Ironically when I got back to work yesterday my boss said"what are you doing, your losing weight?" I simply replied Protein n Water... Which is truth. Lol

One thing is for sure I tire out easily, but I'm not quite 2 weeks out yet. BUT you may be a total different case. Best of luck to you, so far I'm pleased with my decision,

I went back to work after 7 days. I was exhausted for the first month post op. It's gotten much better as I've been able to eat more calories. I'm 3 months post op now and although I still tire easily, it's nothing like that first month. I just suggest getting lots of Protein (at least 60grams) and fluids in every day. Hang in there. It will get better!

I to work in HR. I am planning on two weeks off...surgery in May. I luckily work on the labor relations side so I don't have as many demands. I did tell my boss and she is supportive so hopefully my co-workers can help with running around the campus.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
