I think it will really depend on how you recover. I personally didn't have the energy to be up and moving for more then 15 to 20 minutes at a time. But other people recover sooner and can do alot more. maybe having a Protein Shake before leaving the house will help your energy level for the play.

I'ts true, some people are up and about in only a few days post surgery. Much of this depends upon how your surgery goes for you individually. I hope you will be able to make the show....that would be great!

Well I really hope you can make it. I had a pretty easy recovery but I was still pretty weak and sore on day 3. You figure though.... a lot of us that go to Mexico fly home on day 3 or 4. If you have somebody drive you there and it's not too long it could be doable.

good luck

I was still a little sore standing up at 3 days out, but was also out grocery shopping (just not lifting much) at that point also. Hard telling ahead of time how you'll feel, but you've got a good chance of being able to make it! :crying:

It really does depend on your healing process.

However, I've learned there is nothing like the inner-strength of a mother. Especially when she is watching one of her kids go through a major milestone. Just line someone up to transport you & take it easy. You should do fine. But, plan on lots of rest before and after the event - don't overdo it.

Thank you all so very much for all your advise. I have just put my mind to it and told myself I can do it. She is my youngest of 4 and dont want to miss out on anything my kids do. I'll make sure to get plenty of rest before and have my husband drive. Thanks again Randi

      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.
