I took off one week and am working from home a week. I feel like I could go back now. The issue will be exhaustion from lack of food. Best advice I saw on here was to go back on a Wednesday so you can start with half a week in case a full week is too much

I took my full three weeks I was exhausted then I went back to work that Monday and passed out from dehydration. I had to get IV fluids and then took a day off per doctors orders and went back that Wednesday

I'm so glad I am not the only one who struggles with fluids not being able to down a cup of Water like before surgery it makes Water hard to incorporate all day long

I took 6 weeks off and have an office job. I had some complications and overall feel blessed that I had the full 6 weeks to work on myself without having to go to work. Don't rush back!

I took 2 weeks off. Which was perfect for me. I was only in pain, sore, and tender for a lil over a week. By the time I went back I was painless, and full of energy.

I hope I have the same results as you. I will be off 2.5 months (Summer-I work in a school)

I thought I would only take 3 weeks but seeing as I'm always dizzy and tired I decided to take another week or two. I hope to go back when I'm on solids.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
