Post op & work

[MrsKTS 19]

I was sleeved 4/12 and I'm returning to work tomorrow 4/18. I'm going stir crazy at home. Hopefully all goes well.

Wow! 6 days later you're ready to go back to work? That's so awesome! It sounds like you recovered very quickly!

I'm 3-wks po and took 2wks off work. I returned to work last week. Physically, while a little low energy, I could handle the work (kept my hours to minimum 40 hrs rather than my usual 55+ hrs). However, I struggled with getting my food, Protein, Water, sleep, exercise all figured out around work demands. I wish I had taken more time off only for the purpose of getting a better handle on these things.

Good luck.

One week- was sleeves on 3/28- back in work on 4/4. I can't just sit home- but I have a desk job. Only thing that was rough was the train in nyc in the mornings but only for the first couple days. I saved my time off for an actual vacation.

I returned to work after two weeks to a desk job. It was tough at first as I tired easily but that just meant that I worked for 8 hours then went home instead of working the usual 10-12. First two weeks back at work were tough. Probably not really "myself" for about 8 weeks at which point I was really cooking with gas again.

As soon as you get back on solid food things really improve.

My surgery was April 6 and my original date to return is May 9 but when I went to see my surgeon last Friday he said OK ur ready on April 25 and I was like no I can't even drink my fluids still or do the Protein shakes so he moved it up to may 2 and he will go from there on my next appt he also gave me an Rx to get IV fluids because I am dehydrated and I have don't that but my Fluid intake is probably 2 16oz Water bottles per day if that.
