I was sleeved on 12/14/11 so it will be 6 weeks on Wed. for me and I just started feeling normal again....I came back to work on 1/9/12 and it was ok but the last few days I have been feeling alot better.  Whenever I felt really bad I would do a protein bar or shake and that would make me feel better.  Remember protein first and plenty of water.  Good luck on your journey!!!

I went back to work a week after my surgery.  But I think it was about 3 weeks until I felt "normal."  But now I feel better than my old normal....you will too.  Just hang in there

AmberK,

As a retired teacher, I think taking a few extra weeks is smart.

I'm only 2 weeks out - have a desk job now, and went to work Friday & today for a couple of hours. Was really tired both days, but came home, drank a protein shake and walked for 10 minutes. I feel fine tonight.
