Days off work w RNY?

I will be 54 years ols next month and had RNY 2-18-15. I went back to work as an RN after just 2 weeks. I work midnight shift and after work would go baby sit my 3 preschool age grandchildren for 4 hours before going home. Week three I was not only doing all of this but was also stopping at the gym to walk 2 miles on the treadmill before going home to shower, eat something and go to bed. I was up again by 5:00 to feed my husband, daughter and myself but would go back to bed until I had to get ready for work. Somedays I was tired but it was never too bad. I think it's all individual and how much stamina you had before surgery.

I also have a sedentary desk job and I took two weeks off.

I am a paralegal to a desk job as well. I had surgery on 12/2 (Tuesday) and went back to work on 12/12. Only made it through a half day and left crying. Went back the next day (Saturday so no one there) armed with my pain meds. Made it through 4 hours, with some medicine needed. The next day (Sunday) went back again and could do 5 hours without medicine. By Monday I was back fulltime. If your able to go in when no one is there I think it helped me to kind of work back to it without the pressure of the office being open.

Desk Job Here and two weeks for me. Tired at the end of the day, but no real issues.

I took 5 weeks off due to being sent home with a feeding tube.  My surgeon keeps the feeding tube in for 4 weeks and I could not return to wor****il he took it out.  With all the changes in hormones and diet, I really needed that time to adjust.
