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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
