I took about three days or so but I have a desk job. Do what you can when you're ready.

I took off a week and then traveled to a conference where I was sitting a lot. It was actually very helpful for me because I heal best when I'm occupied with other things. I also took a family member with me and her job was to make sure I was getting enough rest and Protein :). I had a really easy recovery but everyone is different.

I was sleeved on a Wednesday and went back to work on Tuesday. I have a desk job that I can sit or stand. First day back was fine. I just focused on my work and was committed to drinking. It was easy.

I took 5 weeks. I didn't want to be around ppl with colds and other nasties that I could catch. I also take the train and bus to work and didn't want to risk getting bumped into. The first 2 weeks are exhausting. I was always dizzy and tired and remembering to drink all day and take my Protein and pills would have been difficult at work. I work in an office and sit all day too but even my dr said to stay home. It's just safer.

Had surgery on Tuesday, went back to work on Monday, but I'm a desk jockey and only work in my office 2 days a week. I was working from home on Friday the week of surgery. I really depends on what you do and how you heal.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
