Is one week off work enough?

I took 3 weeks off.. I also have desk job..but getting used to your new diet gets challenging..

I took 2 1/2 weeks off and for the first week back was pretty tired. If I could do it over, I would take 3 weeks. One week doesn’t seem adequate unless you do nothing but work and sleep.

I only had 6 days off - surgery on Thursday and went back to work the following Friday. I agree with others that everyone one is different and I too only have a desk job. I only took pain meds the first day after surgery when I got home, nothing after that. I also did not lie around in bed. I was up and walking or even just sitting in a chair. liquids only were easier at work, you stay busy and just sip all day long at your desk.
