I am starting a new job 10 days after surgery, any suggestions?

I am as well so I'm eager to hear suggestions!

I was back to normal ,10 days from my surgery, besides my eating of course, I was driving and working and cooking etc but everyone is different, best wishes to you both

What do you mean "everything is different" ?

Every*one* is different.

I, also, was pretty much back to normal, except for my eating (or lack of eating at that point). I felt really good and had no complications at all.

Hopefully it's not a very physically demanding job. I returned to a desk job 2 weeks after surgery. It was fine except I was SO tired. Like a new level of tired kind of tired. Completely drained. It took a good 6-8 weeks to really get back to full energy. B12 shots helped. Also, plan on taking your food with you and plan, plan, plan in advance. It takes so much stress off you to have your food/snacks and not have to figure it out on the fly and make poor decisions.

I didn't say everything is different , I said everyone is different, but no 2 people recovery will be the same is what I meant

thank you ???? I hope everything is still going swell for you and congratulations on all of your progress

I'm one week out and back at work. Have no pain, just major fatigue. Personally, I wouldn't want to be learning something new right now as my focus is not as good as normal due to the tiredness. Get lots of rest when you can, best of luck in your new job.

Energy can be pretty low in that time frame so be sure you are prepared to care deeply for yourself, even at work. Make sure you have all the fluid and mushies intake you need as often as you need to keep your energy stable. If it's physically strenuous you might have a tougher time Bc your caloric intake is so low and your body will be delegating its resources to healing your stomach and incisions, and flushing out fat and drugs from the hospital.
