How long were you out of work before you went back and did well?

was planning on 2 weeks but was back after 1 week and 1 day - first day a bit sleepy second day i was fine. - i do have an office job though.

I have an office job so I only took 1 week off. The second week I was exhausted, but I just got up and walked quite a bit.

2 1/2 weeks and wished I had taken at least 3.

1 week. It was miserable.

I took three. I'm glad I did. I probably could have gone back after two weeks, but I still got pretty tired during the day. I was glad I had three.

I'm taking 4 weeks, which is what my doctor recommends. I am using FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act), and my state (CA) has State Disability Insurance that pays me income while I am out.

By taking the 4 weeks, I am giving myself time to heal plus learn all of the new eating habits, so when I return to work I will have some good habits under my belt. Also, this way when I return I will be on soft foods rather than liquids or pureed foods.

Works for me.

I have an office job. I was working from home 1/2 days after 3 day and back full time in the office at 10 days.

4 weeks. Too early. Felt much better after week 5.
