Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate your experience! I like the idea of taking a week off and plan on half days the second week. It seems like the Protein intake is a crucial factor in the recovery process. What are/were your favorite clear Liquid Protein options?

I didn't have to be on clear Protein shakes for long. I was allowed "full liquids" pretty quickly. But when I did have to drink clear Protein drinks, I uses Syntrax nectar fruit flavors, specifically the strawberry kiwi.

I'm curious about this as well.... Did you guys have restrictions as far as how much weight you were allowed to lift after surgery? I am a RN and cannot work with any restrictions... I have my first consultation with a surgeon in the 27th of January, and I am super excited and nervous also.

You will definitely have a lifting restriction for the first couple weeks at least, because of the incisions.

Anyone remember the time/weight restrictions? I have two toddlers about 35 lbs apiece.

Not at all as long as things go well. I'm a systems engineer and was back at work the next week. Felt fine. Be advised that some folks respond better than others so if you can plan for the worst, then go back early to maximize your time off plan, I'd do it.

since I am a RN I work 3 12.5 hour shifts per week.. I was thinking I could work my 3 shifts, have surgery the next day, then I'd have off 7 days after surgery and and additionally I could maybe take 3 days of PTO, and then schedule my 3 shifts at the end of the next week. That would give me exactly 2 weeks off work after surgery....but only need to request 1 week of time off...

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
