Opinions on moving please

[Mom2Luke 19]

Hello! My sleeve surgery is scheduled 1/11/17. I am scheduling when to close on my existing home and move into our new home. I'm a single Mom of a 12 year old which leaves more of the responsibility to me. I'll hire movers and will have the help of friends and family, but will still need to unpack. Realistically when will I feel up to this? I'd like to move mid March, 9 weeks after surgery. Thoughts?

I am right at 9 weeks and I feel great. I was lucky and had no problems with the surgery and have been really strict with myself about following the rules. But I am fully back to normal. Walking 2 miles a day, eating 3 meals of totally Protein and a shake to supplement. Energy level is much better than before surgery. The first few weeks are a challenge, but in my case, it got better every day. My only challenge now is getting the Water in. I think if all goes well with your surgery, the move shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

That shouldn't be a problem for March. You could even do it sooner if you wanted. I began a kitchen remodel on day 4 after surgery. I didn't do the work, but juggled many workers in and out of my small place all day long. They were done after 2 weeks and I was fine to get kitchen set up again. Just carried a few items at a time from what I had to pack away. No lifting heavy boxes.

I felt well enough to unpack about 3 days after surgery. For awhile I began to wonder if I even had it.
