I went back to work after three weeks off and I wish I took a fourth week. (I went back this week). I have a stressful job, but not a physical job. I probably would want a fifth week off if I took four off. ????. Do what you can and rest when you can. So far it's working for me. Luckily my children are grown and gone, and my husband is semi-helpful so my evenings aren't too tiring. I don't think I would do well with toddlers to care for. Best wishes to those who do!

I believe that for me 4-weeks off is best because when I go to the store to get groceries or if I move my car, I get really light headed and start feeling nauseous . I know that this is linked to the liquid diet because I'm usually on the go.

I went back 9 days after but I have a work partner I can get to do the "hard" stuff when I wasn't up to it. I think it helped me get back to real life and the reality of work and life!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
