I am on my first post-op day and bored out of my mind! I typically don't have the time to just lay around.

I have been sipping on my Water and had a sugar-free Jello so far and just made my 1st Protein Shake for the day. My post-op directions say 2 a day but so far I haven't even been hungry, just can't get enough to drink to keep my mouth wet.

it is important to drink the Protein Drinks and Water to stay hydrated. i know you feel, i was going bonkers the next day after surgery. heck, two days post op i was up and cooking a big Breakfast for everyone. LOL my family came to visit after my surgery and stayed the weekend. i felt good by day 3 and by day 5 i was out walking, not really far, but a few blocks at a time.

just keep drinking fluids and after about a week you will start to get hungry again. your body is recovering, so try to take it easy. :)

About how quickly do you think you could return to work? I work at a computer/desk all day and was just wondering how many days I would need to take off. One day for the surgery and then what? 1-2 days?

I'm a teacher and my Dr. will not let me go back until Monday.

I was the same way. I didn't feel hungry but it's because you are still swollen and healing. Drink the Protein, it helps you alot! Any gas pain, invest in gas-x or ask your doctor and don't forget your Vitamins. Good luck!

Work related, I wasn't allowed for 2 weeks, but my job is flexible. I met few who went back in a week. I thank goodness for those 2 weeks, because I was still healing and dealing with gas.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
