I am a teacher and this is my first day back to work after I was sleeved Eight days ago. I feel sweaty and dizzy. Tomorrow I move on to the full liquids faze. Will I feel much better when I move out of clear liquids? I know my bp is dropping, which is good because I have been on three Meds for it. I just need to know when it gets easier!

See I can't even spell phase and I am a teacher!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIRST DAY BACK TO WORK. I AM 3 WEEKS POST OP AND I WENT BACK TO WORK LAST WEEK. IT WAS A BIT DIFFICULT FOR ME . I AM A BARTENDER SO LONG HOURS ON YOUR FEET. BUT I GOT THRU IT AND I WILL BE BACK TO WORK TODAY AGAIN . I THINK YOU WILL HAVE MORE ENERGY ONCE YOU GO TO FULL LIQUIDS. I WAS ABLE TO EAT PEREE FOODS THE DAY I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. I THINK THE PROTEIN GIVES OUR BODY ENERGY . I STILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE REQUIREMENTS IN BUT I AM TRYING EVERYDAY A LITTLE MORE. I AM ALSO GET TIRED EASIER BUT I KNOW IT TAKES TIME TO RECOOP FROM THAT SURGERY. I WISH YOU THE BEST AND KNO U WILL DO JUST FINE...GOOD DAY TO YOU!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the encouragement and for sharing your experience. I do think puréed foods would help! I also had a hiatal hernia repair on the same day, so I am recovering from two surgeries . Good luck to you too! We have very different t jobs but we both have to be energetic and thinking clearly!

I also teach and it was SO hard going back! Teaching is so physically and emotionally draining all on its own and recovering from major surgery makes it so much harder! As you progress in your eating, you will feel better and better. Until then, just prepare yourself mentally for the exhaustion and fatigue. It'll be better before you know it!

Thank you so much for sharing. It is hard on any day to be a teacher. But this is just over the top! I am staying positive knowing this is temporary!
