7 days post op!

[lala3613 39]

Is it to good to be true. I have not had any complications or been tired at all. I feel like it is too good to be true. At seven days post op I'm getting in 50 ounces of Water daily and about 55 grams of Protein daily totaling about 300 calories. I am NOT tired at all throughout the day. I just wonder if it is going to catch up with me.

I had originally planned to take two weeks off of work. But now that I feel great I'm going to go back to work after 1 week off.

Conrats on your good recovery I am on day 5, I also have not had any complications, really a fairly easy recovery but I am noticing I get fatigued or tired quickly. I get that low bloodsugar feeling even light headed. I unfortunately have to go back to work monday (day 7)so I am going to push myself today and tomorrow and see how I do. I also have gotten almost 60gm of Protein and fluids. If you have the time off I would take it, that way there is no question about your stamina. My work is part on my feet and part desk. But since I am the only one who does my job I will be going back to a potential sh*t storm I think!!!

Lucky dog. I had a slower, more painful recovery. My lapband was easy peasy 4 yrs ago compared to the sleeve. I'm now 3 1/2 weeks out and feeling 100%. it took about 2 weeks to not wake up feeling like I was hit by a bus.

Count your blessings! Good luck!

My job is easy! I have a couch in office if need to take a break but I can go at my own speed and rest if I need to.

Holy cow you guys, that's great. I'm 3.5 weeks post-op and still feeling a lot of pain in my abdomin. I was just thinking how hard it would be if I'd had to go back to work after 2 weeks!

Good on ya, and may as well go back to work if you're feeling that good. Just be sure to take it slow!

Me too! If I were not a teacher and would have had to take time off I would have taken three weeks. I felt way better after a week but had no energy....

Same here. I went to grocery store and almost didn't make it through the check out. I hit a wall of fatigue. I'm 7 weeks out. My disability insurance gave me 6 weeks. I teach, too. My first day is next Friday. I've been gradually getting up early. Monday ill start getting up at 5:30 ... My usual time. Oh, I teach 4 year olds so I will be tired at the end of bathe day!

I mean end of the day.
