Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Going back to work! Well, the time has come -- my 3+ weeks is over and tomorrow I must return to the office!  I actually love my job and was working from home full time last week, but I'm not sure how my energy will hold out all day long. I've got one of those jobs that is very draining -- I feel great, but am just wondering how the office will tax my strength?? I kept hoping I was going to win part of the BIG lottery and could just go back in to clean up my office and sail off into the sunset -- but no such luck. So I owe, I owe -- its off to work I go!  So how did it go for some of you? Did you find your energy levels taxed the first few days/weeks back on the job?? |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Well I Cant Really Tell Ya Since Im A Stay At Home Mom. But I Can Tell You This I Needed Alot Of Help For A Long Time Because It Was Impossible For Me To Care For Her All Day I Was Just Tooooooo Tired And She Is Such A Good And Happy Baby Not The Type That Needs To Be Constantly Held And Can Entertain Herself. But Just Changing A Diaper Would Tire Me Out. Lol But The More You Do The More You Body Will Get Its Strenght Back Dont Get Me Wrong Dont Hurt Yourself. But One Day A Few Wks After Surgery I Went For A Slow Walk And Said To My Mom Who Came With Me I Cant Believe How Warn Out I Feel And She Said Thats Good Your Body Needs To Build Up Its Strength. Of Course We Should Relax And Sit Around When We Are Healing But To Build Up Our Strength It Takes A Little Work Out. Thats What Made Me Strong Again. Each Day It Got Easier And Easier. Take It Easy And Feel Well. Good Luck Tomorrow

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | About a week behind you I am about a week behind you. I cant wait to get back. I have only been off of work for 6 business days. Seems like it has been forever. I am considering calling my surgeon and getting a release for next week. I hope everything is going well. Good Luck at work.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | at home my energy level was thru the roof! but the first week back to work i wanted to DIE. i was so exhausted by like 2 pm lol. and i work at a desk but the stress of the job itself got to me. at that point i wished i had stayed home another week or two LOL. this was when i really figured out how i needed to eat and what things to eat to make it thru the day with steady energy. its good to go back to "normal" life. good luck...and tell us all about it tomorrow.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thats Also Why They Push Us So Much In The Hospital To Start Walking To Build Up Our Strenght Or Sit Up In A Chair. Because If We Were To Stay In Bed At The Hosp We Would Be Weak. One Lady Who Was In The Rm With Me Before I Went Home Would Never Get Out Of Bed When They Told Her So For The Longest Time She Stayed Week And The Doc Kind Of Yelled At Her.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | The First Wk At Work Might Knock You Out. But I Bet By Week 2 You Will Start Feeling Better Hun. Just Please Try To Remember To Drink All The Time And Eat Every 2 Hrs Or So. PACK AND PREPARE THE FOOD THE NIGHT BEFORE SO YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE WHY YOU DIDNT BRING IT WITH YOU
