My doctor had me out of work for a full 6 weeks. He says it's to give my body time to heal and get used to eating and being tired.

So today is my first day back and I am exhausted. Just over an hour left of my shift and I'm barely going to walk out of here lol. I have no idea how some of you go back to work so fast.

Just a small ranting.

Hmm.. I'm a teacher with small children and I'm only taking my Christmas break of 2 1/2 weeks off.

I've had 2 lapband surgeries and 2 emergency removals and returned within a week or so on all of them. Hope this is similar and doable when I'm sleeved on the 14 of Dec

I know some can do it. I have fibromyalgia and I'm sure that is adding to it. Plus it's cold and raining here.

My surgeon said he'd like us to take off as long as possible up to our full 6 week limits. I want to take no more than 2 weeks. How long do most Sleevers take? I've seen the range so far is 1 week to a few weeks. The 6 weeks is a first I've seen.

I'm going back to work next Wendesday and then out until the following monday. That should be a good getting back to work for me. I probably honestly could go back tomorrow but I developed a cold and I've been napping like crazy!

I work at FedEx office so I took 6 weeks off and then I return 12/16/12 in the middle of peak season. So it's scary.

      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...
