I'm trying to save my time so I'm ok for taking at least 2 weeks off. What did you guys take and was it enough?

I'm a nurse and took 3 weeks off. It was just the right amount of time for me.

I took off 2 weeks. I should have taken off 3 weeks. I have a retail job so always on my feet and busy busy

I took 3 due to fatigue and bowel problems I did not want to deal with at work.

I work for myself so I've been trying to balance work and my lack of energy. Surgery was 6/21...I was released from the hospital on 6/23 and I had a court hearing in heels the morning of the 25th. I took the rest of that week off and only worked about 4 hours a day this week. My dr keeps you on Clear liquids for a week after you are released and so I had very little energy. I go back to my regular schedule on Monday. I can't wait until I can get to soft foods on 7/13. I think that will really help my energy level. I'm dreaming of scrambled eggs at night lol

I haven't had any pain and feel pretty good. Maybe it's not so much a lack of energy as it is I really like this not working thing and wish I could just stay at home a few more weeks.

I scheduled 3 weeks but after dehydration, UTI, and low potassium I ended up needing 6 weeks to completely recover. Everybody is defiantly different. I would say just wait and see.
