  I saw the dr. yesterday morning and was released for work.  Well, I made it til 6 yesterday, was tired but able to function. Today, I had to call the dr. to get a new note saying part time for about a week, I was sooo tired. Came home and slept over an hour.  Would have slept longer but the kids came in.  I could not believe how tired I was! 

50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.

Your energy will return in time.   Sounds like your doing well otherwise. Congrats.
Smart for asking for part time for the week.

I will be off yet a few more weeks due to setbacks, but I'm okay with that. 
When I can walk around my block a few times i know I can work.
I can't walk past my house yet. another story.

Take care

I'm glad you were able to get a new note... definitely be good to yourself with this transition :)  I transitioned back with part time work for a week or two as well and even when I went back FT, I was still exhausted.  Hang in there :)

 this is the debate I am having right now, to take more time off or not to, I have already taken almost 2 weeks, supposed to return next tuesday, but think I will be exhausted after an hour or two...will still be on oxygen too

No reason to rush back lol

I took 6 weeks off after my surgery. I was still learning to eat and move around...I just wasn't ready. Listen to your body. If you need more time...take it.
