Wow, I really overdid it today. Went back to work, then had to leave after 3 hours. So faint I couldn't stand, sweaty, weak. I had 2 glasses of water, Greek yogurt, and a few sips of protein drink early in the morning, but it was bad. Went home and slept for a couple of hours and had a nice lunch (bean purée, a bite of cream soup) and I'm feeling better now. Keeping the water up so I don't get dehydrated. Anyone else overdo it?

I feel like I've been lucky. No nausea (at all), very little pain, and I went back to work full-time on day 6.

However, last week (about day 15) I had one weird day of weakness. I slept well the night before, went to work and put in 2 hours, then went home and back to bed (about 4 hours). Like you, I ate a bit, drank a bit, but mostly I was wobbly-legged and just wanted to sleep. Surprisingly I slept through the night even after all that sleeping as well. It was just a one-day thing for me. Hope yours is a small event as well.

Good luck!

Maybe see if you can do a half day tomorrow. The first couple of days back were the worst for me. I have a long commute by public transit. I could not wait to get back to my car and get home.

Hope you feel better and if you find you don't by tomorrow, maybe call your Dr.

Yesterday was day 13 for me and I was supposed to return to work today. I did the "so faint I couldn't stand, sweaty, weak" thing yesterday here at home with grandkids and kids visiting. Totally overdid it and just suddenly felt a plug get pulled and all energy drain away. I decided to take another week off work rather than attempt to work and maybe end up on the floor.

Listen to your body...

I'm going back to work Wenesday, which will be 13 days out. Hope I can handle it.

You will probably be just fine. I am not exactly a spring chicken AND I didn't walk as much as I should have this past week to rebuild energy. I'm trying to rectify that this week by walk, walk, walking!
