I was just sleeved on Wednesday august 27... Monday is Labor Day and I plan on going in on Tuesday to work. I am a teacher and I work with small groups with reading intervention and the children come to me. If I feel like it's too much I will go home ... I don't require a sub....but I hoping it will be fine.

I took a week off. I didn't have pain, but sitting upright was hard. You really don't eat enough calories to use too much of your brain. There is no energy. I wish I had taken two weeks cause I ended up having to take a sick day the next week.

My surgery will be on a Thursday morning, go home Thursday evening, and the surgeon says I can go back to work on Monday. I'm not going to go back that quick because even though I have a desk job, my husband (who is getting sleeved the same day as me) has a much more physical job, so he's taking a week off and I'm staying home with home. I figure that gives us time to adjust to things together.

I felt great after 5 days from the surgery itself. But the exhaustion and getting used to the new eating was a challenge. I recommend two weeks minimum off

The lil bit of calories u will consume ur body will use it to heal. ..I am 7 wks out an still have energy an stamina issues. I would hope ur surgeon would write for at least 2 wks off. It took me a good 4 to 5 wks to still adjust to new lifestyle. My surgeon said if u can just get thru the first month u got it made. He's right. ..hang in there. One of the best things I've done for myself. .:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
