Hello I'm scheduled to have surgery in June 2019 on my Washington State and looking for Buddies in my area.

I had my surgery with Dr. Anwar on 6/19. How are you doing since your surgery?

I am all right. 3 weeks out and down 16 since surgery but I have only lost 1 pound and no inches in the last week. Everything seems to be healing well but the clinic doesn't want me to return to work until 7/1

I too live in Parkland near PLU.

When I met with Dr. Anwar before surgery, he mentioned that since I sit behind a desk that I could return to work when I am ready as long as I am up every couple of hours and no heavy lifting. I am bored, so I am considering on going back on Wednesday -Fridays for half days and back full time on July 1st. My first follow-up is July 5th. I haven't had pain meds in 3 days and up to over 80 ounces of fluids over the last few days. Today was the first day that Dr. Anwar said I could start protein shakes and at 50 ounces already today. I was surprised at how full I got on half a shake.

I would like to meet up with anyone at a coffee shop. I work M-F, but could meet up after or on the weekends. I do attend the Franciscan support group on the 3rd Mondays at St. Clare in Lakewood.

I have a desk job he had said 2-3 weeks but at my follow up his staff said I needed a 4th week to get used to eating. I'm bored at home but I will be back at work Monday
