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.
