3 weeks post hysterectomy & back to work
3 weeks post op and back to work full time with a hour commute- anyone else back this fast? Would love to hear how it is going for you also. Rest does not seem likely for me

Re: Pawsome
Hi Pawsome, sounds like you're doing great! I also went back to work at 3 weeks. I felt really good and was getting bored. It went well. Best of luck!

Re: Pawsome
Hi, pawsome. Welcome to Hystersisters! I'm almost 4 weeks post-op. I have not been cleared for driving yet because I am still taking pain medication. So if you are still taking narcotics for pain and need to drive yourself to work, that could be a factor. It also depends on what kind of job you have. I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day and need to be able to do heavy lifting, so I will be off for six weeks. Some ladies with desk jobs go back as early as 2 weeks. If it's possible, you may want to see if you can return at part-time hours and gradually increase your hours. Good luck!

3 weeks post hysterectomy & back to work
Thank you for asking this question! I'm one week post-op and hoping to go back at 3 weeks. Reading all the posts with such a range of experiences has me questioning whether or not that's feasible! I know every body and every situation is different!

3 weeks post hysterectomy & back to work
Wow, I can barely walk outside for long periods of time let alone go back to work. I've started teleworking on a part-time basis and that entails being on the couch with the laptop. My doctor has me out of the office for at least six weeks. For everyone going back at 3 weeks post-op, please be careful and rest after work with your feet up

Re: Pawsome
I'm 3 weeks post op today - and I simply can't imagine sitting at a desk for 8 hours, or commuting an hour each way, and I'm doing great! I'm walking 40 minutes a day, doing restorative yoga, cooking, light cleaning, and I feel really good. But. I sat with my girlfriend, who came for coffee, for 2 hours and then I HURT and had to go lay down.
I really feel for you - I am going back to school next week - from 9:30-12:30 daily (I'm a full time student) - and I'm worried about keeping up!
