My surgery is on the 17th of April. I plan on going to work on the19th. Do you think that’s possible?

I’m going to be honest with you…there is absolutely no way I could have gone back to work two days after my surgery (which would have been yesterday for me). I’m kinda going back tomorrow, and I’m even questioning whether I can do that (and it is a work from my bed, with laptop on my lap, kinda job). I’m no longer on pain killers during the day, but I just feel like sh*t. Gas pains have subsided a lot, but still there. I’m really struggling with getting any Protein in me, and between alternating 2 ounces of a Protein Shake with getting water/other liquids in me, it is a full time job.

I think it would be too soon. I'm sacrificing a week of unpaid time off.

Hi- are you on 4-6 Protein shakes/day too? So monotonous. I made Bone Broth and a cup of broccoli for dinner last night and it was so bland that I started experimenting with pickles and banana peppers as seasoning (not sure if that’s fair game but I’m allowed veggies). Any fatigue? I’m a little spacey but just trying to stay busy.

I am on full liquids. I am doing like 3 shakes a day, yogurt, pudding, Jello (all sugar free). Of course adding in the Water, gatorade zero, and crystal light. No caffeine either-that has added to my fatigue too. I did try some broth yesterday to try and get used to it for post op and its not my favorite by far. I keep hearing that the second week is better. Hoping this is true. Are you having the sleeve?

I had gastric sleeve same day, how are you finding your recovery? gas pain has been very bad for me and will only be leaving hospital tomorrow. Thankfully nausea has been minimal and have been able to keep Water and shakes down.

I had bypass on the 11th. I'm sore and bloated and have diarrhea (tmi sorry). At least I'm not hungry!
