How long were you out?

Yep, the learning how to adjust to your life and new way of eating was a full time job in and of itself.  I needed 2 weeks just for that.

Open, took 2 weeks off (I have an office job).  No problems.

Lap was out 2 weeks to the day, have an office type job and no problems so far, just started back Monday.  I have a little refrig in my office and keep protein drinks and snacks in there.  Everyone's different though.

8 weeks, lap.  I needed every single day.

That said, I had a collapsed lung and pneumonia following surgery and had to be re-hospitalized for dehydration, so I was a bit of a wreck.  Had I not had all those things, I could have maybe gone back by the 5th or 6th week.

I'm still off.

Many issues at this point.

NO potassium, low iron, D, E and A, B12 and dealling with an eating disorder --- still there even after DS ...

My family doctor doesn't want me to jump back into my 13 hour days (I don't want to either!) I'm learning to cook and to eat (without fear!)

I'll be off till January and I'm really happy about that.  I actually am feeling a bit less stressed.  this time has helped me get the whole routine in.

I'm lucky I have this option.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Lap, out for 2 weeks.  Felt great after 1 week.  That 2nd week off was so boring I painted the hallway in the house, went to the YMCA a few times to walk and shoot a few hoops.  I could have worked but the wife wouldn't let me.  I am kinda opposite, I feel like I have had more energy since about a week after surgery than I had before surgery.
