Went back to work on Monday...exhausted!
I went back to work on Monday and I am fine most of the day, but by the end of the day and by the time I get home, I must say I am exhausted!!!
It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!
I can sympathize. I went back to work Saturday. I'm an RN and went back to a busy surgery floor for 2 12 hour shifts in a row. My energy was great, but I sure do miss my motrin! Plus I didn't get the water or protein in Sat and Sun and stayed sick most of yesterday with nausea and a headache. I forced the fluids so I am starting to feel better, but back at it Thursday and Friday. UGH.
Yea, I was out 3 weeks, I had my surgery on a Tuesday (5/22) and I was out the rest of that week then the following two weeks. I think that amout of time was enough, I am just more exhausted after work than I expected to be. So when I get home, I definately rest and sleep.

I stayed out 4 weeks after surgery. This is my second week back at work. I am just now getting back into the routine. I was very active on my 4 weeks at home, walked a lot, gardened, shopped, etc. I was shocked how exhausted I was having my "brain turned on" for 8 hours straight. I did not walk at all my first week back at work, I'd come home and go straight to bed. It's getting better, looking forward to the 6 week clearance so I can start real work outs. Good luck!
