How long were you off work and how are you feeling?

I went back to work in 2 weeks. Really a week and a half considering I was in the hospital for 3 days. It's been all good! A little tired more the 2nd week than the first but not too severe.. I live in NY so there's a lot of subway steps & crowds. During rush hour you better keep up with the pace or you'll be crushed! Lol

welcome back to work

hope you took it slow, and had a good day

your bud

I am surprised at how fast people are able to go back to work. I am kind of a whimp, I am hoping to be off as long as I can. I am wondering if the recovery relates to age... Glad you are doing okay!

Kristi- you are not a whimp. Some people need more time off than others. It really depends on how well you're doing in the recovery process & what type of a job you have.

I was off for 4 weeks and am very thankful for it.

Work went ok- my emotions are all over the board

I'm the same wimp! I was sleeved on 9/24 and I won't return to work until nov 1st. I don't want to go back until I can handle food. I'm afraid I'll get so busy and caught up with work that I'll neglect myself and won't excersize

Girl I feel ya on that - I still have a week & 1/2 to go before I go back but for whatever reason I am dreading it & like you my emotions have been all over the place as well - everything lately seems to get on my nerves - probably b/c this eating things isn't goin as well as I want it to - scared I'm not getting my Protein in, I'm so over any Protein shakes - all of them taste nasty to me-ugh... Well hang in there, were only a month out as of yesterday so lets pray that another month from now we'll have a totally different better feeling... ????????☺????????

Hmm, my dr. is saying I can go back in 4 days. Surgery on Wed back to work on Monday.

I kinda want this, cause 1, I don't have any vacation time, and 2, I don't want anyone at work to know.

Only my supervisor knows I'll be doing something medical. Everyone else I'll just be on vacation.

Hope I can manage.

Haven't had my surgery yet.. It's scheduled for the 15th of October but I'm hoping to go back as soon as possible.. I think I would do better at work then sitting at home all day.. I also have 5 coworkers that had the surgery plenty of support there..

Wow, that's fast - I hope you will do good... That's super fast - most @ least say 2 weeks or more but best of luck to you...

I was off 1 week. I felt OK when I went back (desk job) but tired easily. My doctor said the important thing is to not sit for more than 30 minutes at a time. Get up and move around, lessens the chance of blood clots.

Yep I hear you. Doc told me two weeks to recover and 2 to acclimate to some food. She is brilliant. Got bored by the end but after one day of work I would gladly take another off week that is. Things getting better for you? I struggle with protein - bu I hate protein shakes as well. I do drink one for Breakfast and I may start adding another just to aSsure I get it in.

I agree with you lol! I have low tolerant of pain. One of my coworkers came back to work after a few weeks and fainted. She said she was weak and so tired. Everybody is different and some heal faster then others. I am planning on 12 weeks at least.
