My work is trying to have me only take a week or two off because we are short on coverage. I don't really have a stressful job, I can for the most part sit when I want and walk around the building some too.
How long did you take off and what were some of your issues.
I am 51 and I run a restaurant and I took off 1 week and I had NO issues. I felt great. And honestly it was easier being at work and busy than sitting around staring at clear liquids. You will do great!
I took 5 weeks, and I'm glad I did. I could have gone back at 4, however, I travel all day, every day and the extra week gave me a chance to figure out my travel friendly meals!
I took off for two weeks, probably could have gone back after one but had already scheduled two so took it anyway. I was tired but otherwise fine by the end of two weeks, good luck with your surgery
