What can I expect?

[doingitmyway 87]

I am scheduled for surgery July 27th. I have a family vacation planned to Disney Over Labor Day weekend. I will be 5 weeks out. Should I push back my surgery date?

Everyone recovery is different. I unfortunately wasn't one of the lucky ones that had a smooth recovery. I'm 6 weeks out and finally feel so much better. I had a lot of nausea to the point where I would vomit and ended up in the ER twice for fluids. Even though I'm better, I don't think I would have the energy for Disney.

I would think you should be good to go then. At five weeks I was on regular food, so you should probably be on regular food and your energy levels should be good.

it's really hard to say since everyone recovers differently. At 5 weeks out I was cleared for all foods and with that my energy was starting to come back. I can only speak for myself, but at 5 weeks I felt fine. But disney does involve lots of walking and lots of yummy foods. If you are cleared for all foods by then I would say go enjoy your trip and enjoy tiny bits of all the yummy stuff but stop and sit for a little bit every now and then

Yes look at your food plan....what stage will you be in at 5 weeks?.....Once I was on real food I was feeling back to normal.....I'd say you'll be fine by then as long as you're eating normal food.

You can always talk with your nut. I know soft food is limited but it is still way more normal than liquid!

I too will be headed to vacation on cusp of my scheduled change to "full" food stage, she told me to just discuss timing and I made my six week post op appointment now with that timing in mind.

My husband and I went away right around my 5-6 week

mark and although I got tired easy I was fine.

Keep up your Water intake in the Florida heat, especially with all the walking.

There has been a couple Disney post lately with some great tips on food choices exc. search for Disney and they should come up

Yes so much better! I ended up in the ER got IV fluids and Vitamins and the nausea went away. I can now eat and drink with no problems and losing weight is definitely a plus . Being sick for over a month left me very weak but I started walking and I'm beginning to get my strength back.
