I'm a teacher and also work from home. I'm on vacation from the first till February 22 (and if I wasn't I would get a month paid leave). My surgery was last Tuesday and I plan to start working from home again tomorrow. I can rest if I need to and whenever I need to.

It may not be a good idea. You should wait about two weeks. Ask your surgeon though.

Don't do anything without consulting first. It may be fine, but it may be that you're still not ready for the next phase.

I'm also in my first days. Day 4 today. Doing well. A bit of back pain because of laying on my back. I'm used to sleeping sideways but I have a drain and if I do so some fluids leak from the side of the thing and it's a mess.
Almost no pain. I was discharged on day 2. Been walking and moving around the house. That helps

I'm asked to be there at 5:30 and surgery will be at 7. The earlier the better (because of the fast).
I won't find out the time until the day before the surgery. Hoping for early!Yep! I believe I commented on one of your posts.
What time is yours?

I had to go on a diet Android lose 10% of my starting weight for my surgery to be approved.
They are a multidisciplinary team: surgeon, psychologist and nutricionist. The surgery won't take place until you've shown a radical change in your habits and a willingness to keep a healthy lifestyle for life. The surgery is just a tool, not the solution.
I had 6 meals a day, every 2-3 hs. No sugar, no fat... Lots of veggies and fruit. No mixing carbs with meat.
I never felt hungry with this. And I lost 15 kilos in 4 months. More than they asked for, but my surgery was approved and I've kept losing. Now I'm on a liquid diet and my vsg is scheduled for Jan 17.
Oh! And you need to start doing exercise!

Sometimes it's the anxiety making you believe you're hungry. Do you drink enough Water? That helps too

I am asked to get a specific brand called Prolac (I'm in Argentina). It comes in strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors. I was advised to get vanilla. Also chocolate if I can buy two so I don't get tired too fast. We'll see.
Yay! We are surgery sisters!! Whatever u do, don't try Isopure Cookies and cream and strawberries n cream!! I have heard from a lot of recommendations for premier, plan to order some tonight.Hi! My surgery is also scheduled for this 17th! I Stoll haven't started with the Protein powder (will on Friday) but am thinking what flavour to buy. I was told vanilla works best

I'm from Argentina and I'll have a gastric sleeve.
Here the surgeon chooses which surgery works best for each patient, it's not for us to choose though I'd have chosen the sleeve if I was asked, mainly because recovery seems to be fastest and complications less.

@@Kaylamh Sadly that's not available here (I'm from Argentina). My nutricionist asks us to take one called Prolac.

Recovery is quite fast but bending and lifting is not a good thing to do in a while. You need someone to help you with all that. You may also feeling tired because of the los calorie intake. Pain meds make me feel sleepy too and I need one or two naps.
If you have help at work and time to drink properly, you may just be fine.
