I don't know. I guess I think he'll be concerned with my energy levels dropping or something from all the running around or the increased activity without being able to take in enough food for fuel. I know I can't lift or help patients up too much because I'm still healing. I know how to take it easy and I work with a great team so they're always willing to help.

Jen I went back to work full time after 2.5 weeks. I have been exhausted, but fine. I am a coordinator at a hospital. A lot of walking back and forth, but not extremely stressful.

Good luck!

I'm having a lot of weakness also. It will be 3 weeks since my surgery on Tues. I am not ready to go back to work. Just getting dressed in the morning is exhausting. Has anyone tried New Whey Protein Shots? I think I'm weak due to not getting enough Protein. But I still haven't been able to find anything that I can tolerate. I get so nauseated. If it wasn't for my lack of energy I would be able to go back to work now. I'm eating soft foods and doing well. But not enough to meet my daily requirements.

Try the Unjury vanilla Protein Shakes. Just add about 2 ounces more of Water. Its very easy to dissolve and ypu can add a little peanut buttet or banana or a teaspoon of instant coffee to it. That drink was a lifesaver for me. I also really like the Champion chocolate brownie. I get mine from my surgeons office but it can be ordered on line from Amazon as well.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
