I'm have surgery thursday, is it unreasonable to be able to do some shopping Sunday or Monday? Will I be too sore?

I had surgery on a Monday and was walking Walmart on the Thursday. Everyone heals differently, I just needed to wait til I was off the pain meds before I could drive. Go with how you feel.

I had surgery on a Wednesday and went to a concert on the Sunday - and wish I hadn't. Even though it was a sit down affair, it really was too much for me at that stage.

I had surgery on a Thursday. Didn't feel like doing anything until Sunday and I went to the store for about an hour and came home... I was exausted!! Everyone is different.... Just see how you feel.

Yeah I agree with everyone else. Each person is different. I had a lot of post op gas pain and didn't feel like doing anything without being on pain meds. Today I'm post op 5 and had to go to work. It was very limited and barely lasted 4 hours. If I could of stayed home I would of. I did take liquid ibuprofen though which helped tremendously.

I had surgery on a Wednesday, went shopping on a Thursday and paid for it Friday and Saturday. I think you can do what you feel like doing but just take it easy. I over did it majorly and felt awful day 2 and 3.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
