Hello. I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago, 4/23/12. I returned to work today...I just wanted to be off the liquid stage. I feel pretty good...sipped all day. I choked down most of a boiled egg this morning, before work. They were giving away coffee, Bagels, & donuts at the new cafe at my job. I got a 1/2 cup of Decaf, no goodies. I threw away the coffee, no taste for it yet. My eyes wanted some bread or a donut but...I was straight. I had a few spoons of Wendys chilli, for lunch. It's just important for me to let my body heal & adjust.

I go back to work Thursday and I'm curious how I will hold up also! I am a week post op now. I tried going to Walmart Saturday and I didn't do very well. I had to find a bench and fast ! I have a desk job so hopefully it will be fine.

I was two weeks out hen I returned to work. Just be sure you don't let time get away from you. One day I got really busy and before I knew it, I had gotten really weak. Just make sure you eat on schedule or as close to it as possible.

I have a desk job also. I got a little sleepy around 2:30, but that's my normal poop out time. I had a serious 2 week roller coaster...I fully intend NOT to cause myself any discomfort. I had a little lunch kit ready.

Glad to hear that you are doing better. I was sleeved on last Thursday May 3rd and returned to work on Monday May 7th! I work for a bariatric surgeons office at a desk, so they were not trying to hear it! Lol...thank God, so far, so good!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
