Wondering how many days/weeks you will need to feel like getting out of the house

I know it is different for everyone but just wanted to get an idea about getting back to normal...so to speak.

For me my first outing was to church and I was a week and two days out and I felt perfectly fine...now at 2w3d I feel completely normal :)

My first outing was back to the hospital but that's a different story. UGH So after that I think I went to the grocery store about a week after my second surgery. Felt pretty good just got tired. Just be really CAREFUL and don't over do it! When I went to my first Dr. appointment I reinjured my self getting out of the car and good grief did it hurt.

I was released from hospital on a Sunday and their pharmacy was closed. My first outing was from hospital to Kroger. I walked around grocery store while waiting for my meds.

I had surgery on wed, went home on Friday and stopped at two stores on my way home. After that I went out with my mom on Monday for a few hours in town to get some fresh air and walk. It was nice. I went out for 2-3 hrs each day that week with her to walk around because of the snow. I then would come home and take a map as I was totally done.

      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.
