I was dragging one week post-op! I went back to work 4 weeks post-op. I am a nurse and had restrictions, no lifting over 10lbs or pushing or pulling for 6 weeks. I guess If I had a desk job, I would of been ok by week 2. Good luck with your surgery!! Its worth it :)... I had mine Jan 8! Its changed my life for the good:)

Your energy will go up once you level out for sure.its like a reverse zombie effect. But you'll get your energy back especially if your taking care of the vitamins.

I had my surgery on a Friday, that Wednesday I worked from home, by Thursday I was in the office. I do desk work though.

The first week was rough. I was tired a lot, took little naps. The second week was better because I got to eat and my energy was restored. But it's different for everyone. :)
