Work in a group home. When to return to work.



Recommended Posts

I know that everyone's case is different. But, on average, how long should I stay out of work? I work in a group home with 6 mentally, physically, and behaviorally challenged individuals.

I do work latenights, so they are asleep most of the time. I also help them out in the morning with getting ready for day programs. (Bathing, medications, Breakfast, etc).

I also do this work and as long as your not lifting or doing extended bending over you can probably go back in like four days. I know i could have but i took my whole week cause i could not cause i needed to.

I had my surgery friday at 5pm and i felt fine physically today, my incisions feel great... they have me on a liquid diet like most... im only allowed 59 calories a day for 7 days -

Breakfast- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- broth, 3T of Jello

Lunch- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

Dinner- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

So i have to say i feel really weak... total lack of energy... but my healing is awesome and body feels great... just kind of out of it...

      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.

        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!
