It's hard to say. I had a text book recovery, no issues and was feeling great after a week. My friend had the surgery and had many issues. She was nauseous and drained for the first couple months. Can you reschedule the trip if you find that you're not up to it? I would hope for the best and plan tha trip. You can order Soup or might even be able to eat regular food by one month out. Of course you won't be able to eat much at a time. I was cleared at 2 weeks for regular food, just had to take it easy and try new things one at a time. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

I had an easy recovery and flew 7 days after surgery (I traveled out of my area for the surgery) and was fine. For me traveling 30 days after surgery would have been OK, but I don't think I was cleared for heaving lifting at that point, so lugging around bags could be an issue. The actual flying part, no problem. (Even 7 days after surgery, I fit better in the seat!)

At one month I was just starting regular food. If I would have traveled at that time, I would have been more concerned about fatigue. I agree about heavy luggage. Just make sure you have rolling luggage, and your shoulder bag needs to be light.

I agree with all the above. I think it should be doable, but you'll really need to plan ahead for meals. Maybe look at the menu in advance to figure out what you can eat. At one month out I started going out for meals - it was a little challenging to find softer foods, but always worked out. But you'll need to take care of all your other meals as well, which could be hard while out of town. Maybe bring some Quest bars or Protein shakes (and shaker) so you can make sure you've got some options.

It varies, but by a month out I was feeling mostly normal - just a little more tired than usual. So you should be able to do it if it's important, but again plan ahead and try to schedule down time to make sure you get ample time to rest.

My surgeon told me it was ok to travel after three weeks. You don't want to travel before that in case you have complications from surgery

I traveled with my two year old one month after surgery and was fine. If you dont have any unusual complications you should be fine. I would try and bring some things you know you can eat or pick some up at the grocery store when you get there.
