I am a teacher and am unsure of how much time off I will need. I am on my feet all day but I am really not lifting. What do you think?

On Tuesday I will be three weeks post-op. Luckily I get six weeks to recoup. At the minimum I would suggest two weeks. The first week was rough. I spent most of my days in pain, resting and tryin to eat and get some walking in typ keep my body moving. The second week I was still in pain but it was greatly reduced. My incision started leaking too..it does that in thre healing process. Each day you get stronger and better...but I definitely think two weeks is best. Everyone's journey is different though. Good luck.

If you plan on getting disability you will need to tell your manager because you will need to get paperwork from him. You are not allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds for 4 weeks either. I work at a daycare so I regularly are picking children up, moving things and getting tackled and my doctor made me take off 5 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
