I'm 3-wks po and took 2wks off work. I returned to work last week. Physically, while a little low energy, I could handle the work (kept my hours to minimum 40 hrs rather than my usual 55+ hrs). However, I struggled with getting my food, Protein, Water, sleep, exercise all figured out around work demands. I wish I had taken more time off only for the purpose of getting a better handle on these things.

Good luck.

One week- was sleeves on 3/28- back in work on 4/4. I can't just sit home- but I have a desk job. Only thing that was rough was the train in nyc in the mornings but only for the first couple days. I saved my time off for an actual vacation.

I returned to work after two weeks to a desk job. It was tough at first as I tired easily but that just meant that I worked for 8 hours then went home instead of working the usual 10-12. First two weeks back at work were tough. Probably not really "myself" for about 8 weeks at which point I was really cooking with gas again.

As soon as you get back on solid food things really improve.

My surgery was April 6 and my original date to return is May 9 but when I went to see my surgeon last Friday he said OK ur ready on April 25 and I was like no I can't even drink my fluids still or do the Protein shakes so he moved it up to may 2 and he will go from there on my next appt he also gave me an Rx to get IV fluids because I am dehydrated and I have don't that but my Fluid intake is probably 2 16oz Water bottles per day if that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
