Back to work today!!

I had my sleeve exactly one week ago today and I went back to work today. It wasn't bad at all. I drank plenty of Water and ate my Proteins on schedule. Still a little sore when I cough or sneeze, but that is to be expected.

@SusieQ2019

one week PO sleeve, and you are still around to talk about it?!!☺️

glad you didn't have any problems immediately PO

you are probably using a small pillow to counteract the pain

of coughing and sneezing. you look like a smartie so i'm

sure you already thought of that

good for you on your drinking Water and having your protein!!

many people go back to work after one week, take it easy

at the office and at home. don't overdue

in my case, i went back to work the second i got home

i am happily RETIRED😉

good luck

kathy

Me too! It was exhausting, but felt good to be back. I’m only doing 1/2 days this week, though. I am not sure that I could deal with full days. Well, I’m sure I COULD, but it certainly wouldn’t be pretty!

I’m glad you are feeling well.

I had my sleeve April 9th, and felt good the first week but a week and a half out I began feeling really sick then upon my follow up, i started feeling like I was going to pass out and weak. doc told me that was normal. So just don't overdo it and take your time. now that I'm on pureed im beginning to feel stronger and hopefully I will be returning to work on Thursday, originally Iwas supposed to be back April 24th. You are definitely a strong woman. good luck on your journey.

Thanks guys!

@ProudGrammy I will take retirement any day lol. @karenbb8 the week I was home I was mainly on my bed and couch and found I had less energy. I think the more I am up and about the more energy I get.

I was on pureed from the hospital. I would not have had the energy if I was on liquid for another week or 2.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
