How long did you take off work?



Recommended Posts

Is your job sedentary, active? How long did you stay out of work, and do you feel that that was enough time? Or was it too much/too little?

I had a desk job at the time (I'm retired now). I took off three weeks, but I probably could have gone back after two. I felt OK and was doing things like driving again - although I was still pretty tired and still trying to figure out the eating thing - what would sit well with my stomach, etc. I'm glad for the third week because of that, but again, if I had to, I could have gone back after two.

I have a desk job, and took off 4 weeks. I did it because I felt I needed time to adjust to the food stagez, fatigue, decrease in calories. Etc. Im glad I took the time, but probably could have gone back after 3 weeks. Not any earlier. But that's just me!!

I have an active job that required occasional lifting of over 10lbs. My Dr. Would not allow me to go back before 6 weeks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
