23 Days Post-Op. Back to work. Headache & Fatigue. Please help

Hi guys, I am back to work after about 2 and 1/2 weeks off. I am really tired right now. Came in at 8:30am EST and now it's almost 2:00pm EST and I am drained. WOW! I wish i had my bed or couch. Do you know if we can swallow Tylenol Tablets ???

I know they make liquid but i think it's for children.

And I refuse to take Motrin or Aspirin.

I also refuse to drink regular coffee or tea.

Any advice from my fellow sleevers?

please and thank you.

this is almost harder than the liquid diet.

Yes you can take children's Tylenol. I spoke to the pharmacist and he told showed me the amount to take for adults.

4 to 6 teaspoons every 4 to 6 hours. Double check with your Pharmacist before you take, just in case I got this wrong.

I went back after 1 week. It was a rough road but I made it.

I'm only taking off a week from work. My HR person said I can only take unpaid leave. I hope I will not be so tired!

My HR person said that because my regular dr did not advise surgery, then I don't have medical consent. I guess I never should have told her I'm going to Mexico. I am pre diabetic and have a BMI of 39. Sorry that I'm off topic. But I hope I can handle work 9 days after surgery!
