back to work today

so in an hour i head back to work since surgery. 15 days after surgery even though the dr said i can take off until may 10th, but i asked him to go back sooner since i've been fine. out shopping everyday so there was no reason i couldn't sit at a desk job. of course i wake up today feeling exhausted with a slight headache. and i slept about 9 hours. hopefully it goes away and i wake up or this day is going to go by sooo slow. i do notice everyday that i wake up i feel completely exhausted like i haven't slept...but after about 2-3 hours of being awake that goes away and i feel absolutely fine the rest of the day. anyone else experience that for awhile after surgery

I have a desk job and noticed when I returned to work that I tired very easily after only a few hours so be sure not to over-do things when you get back to work and maybe even do some half days for the first week if your employer will allow it.  Have a great Wednesday!

I know exactly what you are talking about.  For the two weeks I was off work I was going places and feeling absolutely energetic.  I am feeling fatigued alot lately and I talked to my NUT and she explained that the time from my last meal (6pm) to my first meal of the day (8:00) is a long time to have no substanance, especially the water intake and the protein.

After I get my first protein in the morning and at least 20-24 oz of water I am feeling much better.

Of course I will be anxious to get my lab work done on June 10th to see where I am with those levels.

I am eight weeks out and I often wake up tired and achy, but it does go away after I am up and moving. I do find that sometimes I have to try to get in a nap afterwork if we are going to do something else for the evening or if I want to go to the gym after work.

Hope your day goes well.  Don't overdue.   I am off until next Monday, bored at home, feeling good, not just ready to go back to work. LOL
