Hi Jess. I had my sleeve done Monday 7/23. I still feel awful, I’m in a lot of pain & it still hurts to take in liquids. I couldn’t imagine going back to work same week, I have two weeks off.
I have full liquid diet for 3 weeks so what I have home is crystal light made up (it goes down easier than water) and pre made protein shakes (premier and ensure). Also have Tylenol, stool
Softeners and heating pad (has helped w back pain from laying /sitting so much). Best of luck to you.

Thank you. I Guess ill talk to my manager and see if i can get a second week off. I have no more PTO since i had a baby 7m ago and been out a few time since. But thanks crystal light i will make some so when i come back home.

Hope you have a speedy recovery and congratulations on your surgery!
