two weeks post op here...my doc just cleared me for the gym. Bicycle and treadmill only but nothing strenuou and lift nothing over 20 lbs with upper body.

I worked from home the week after surgery. The first day was horrible. I was miserable after sitting at the computer for most of the day. The rest of the week I worked half days. Unfortunately, I had to go into the office a week after surgery for a meeting and to drop off work. Did a little to much walking. Learned my lesson and rested the rest of the week. Went back to work full time 12 days after surgery. I have a desk job and my staff was absolutely awesome. They gave me a vase full of ice pops! One of the younger girls even cleaned the snow off my car for me one day. I find that I burp if I take to big of a sip of liquid. I told everyone that it happens so to be prepared. LOL

Hi Everyone! I'm Carla. 43 years old from Poughkeepsie, NY. I was sleeved on January 8, 2014. So far so good (knock on wood). Just started the pureed stage...actually a little nervous to eat food now. Been browsing the internet for some recipe ideas. Just wanted to say hello!
