First Day Back To Work.



Recommended Posts

Today is my first day back to work and 1 week post op. the pain the first few days was horrible but I feel a lot better. Just took a little longer to walk to the ferry and take the train and stuff. I have to give myself more time tomorrow.

I also weighted myself for the first time and I'm down 15 lbs!

You are brave going back one week post-op! I was still in a lot of pain and taking naps every day at that point. I'm glad to hear you got there fine =)

I just missing riding my bike to work I hate taking the MTA. I get my staples out tomorrow! My allergies are killing me. My stomach feels like its ripping every time I sneeze. ????

I was in hospital for a week, then home for a week before I went back to work. I have a sedentary desk job where I sit throughout much of the day. But even with my job, I felt that I went back too soon. I was exhausted halfway thru my day. I know everyone is different tho, and im glad you made it thru your day ok.

Have you weighed yourself yet? Do you have muscle Spasms? I have it in my back and arms. I also have Rheumatoid arthritis so maybe it's that. My Immune system is shot after being in the hospital 3 days and lack of food. I dream about bread and butter. The one from outback Specifically ???? 2 more weeks!

I also have a desk job and my chair at work is higher then my Furniture at home so it's easier to get up. Plus I almost never rest at home. Always something to do.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
