Recommended Posts

I'm taking a week. I probably could get away with less but I would like to have some sort of comfort with my routine before I go back to work. I figure I can always go back early if I am feeling up to it but it's harder to take extra days.

I'm actually taking 5 wks. I have a TON of sick time and I figured, why not....mine as well use it. I haven't had more than a week off at a time from work since my last son was born 4 yrs ago. I am a RN and I have a very physical job so I really want to be healed before going back.

How many days are you guys taking off after surgery? My surgeon just told me to take a couple..

I'm taking off 3 weeks but really hope to be back in 2.

I plan on taking 4 weeks off, due to what my profession is, but I think it will be good to have the extra time off. I heard someone had surgery on a Wednesday, then went back on that friday!! Lord I couldn't do that lol.

March 10....yikes! Lisa J, we will be sleeve twins. I'm taking 4 weeks. Doc says he will release office workers in 2 if necessary, but really feels 4 are necessary to learn new plumbing. Also, I have rheumatoid arthritis and a lot of mobility/fatigue issues, so a little extra TLC can't hurt.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
