Back to Work today
I went back after 3 weeks. The first two weeks back I was pretty exhausted at the end of the day... went home some nights and struggled to stay awake after 7:00.
I'm six weeks post op now and my energy levels are pretty much back to normal.
Good luck!!

I had surgery the day before you and went back to work last week. The first 2 days were rough for me; partly because I was sitting upright a lot and partly because my incisions kept hitting my desk. After adjusting my chair (a lot!) it got better. I honestly didn't feel any more fatigued than I usually do.
Now I am struggling with remembering to drink and eat. The whole wait to drink 30 mins before eating and 30 mins after eating has been a challenge because I keep getting distracted.
My goal this week is to set alarms, so I am hoping that helps!
Good luck heading back to work!
I had my surgery the day after you and I went back to work today as well. Thankfully I have flexible hours so I only had to do 6 hours (5.5 technically because of lunch). I was on my feet most of the day but I got through it. Was super tired after work and now I can't get to sleep because I rested after work haha. I would love to have another week off so I could enjoy some summer activities, but getting back to normal will hopefully get me back to normal quicker.
