I had three c-sections - and had my surgery laproscopic last Thurs - I feel like running a marathon - ok good, but not that good I have had a lot of energy and have cleaned a lot (when I'm not on the computer) I would go back to work today if the DR would clear me - but he wants me to get in a good habit of eating and drinking - he feels I need 4 weeks - I am hoping to talk him into 3 weeks just so I have some sick leave just in case I am sure you'll do fine.

I have basically a desk job... I planned for 3 weeks, ended up taking off 2 weeks and did shortened days for the first week back-- I FELT fine, but I was exhausted by mid-afternoon. After that first week back, my energy perked back up to normal and it's been great ever since

I was off 8 weeks but I had to be able to lift 50 pounds to go back and my doc did not release me to do so untill after 8 weeks. I could have gone back to a desk job after 2 weeks. I was up walking around the same day, home in 24 hours and went to Wal-mart (with my husband) on day 5. I just wanted to sleep sleep sleep!
