Traveling after surgery?

[emgem 53]

I'm scheduled for surgery on 11/7 and my job has scheduled a work trip for 12/6-12/8.

Was wondering if anyone who has had the surgery could tell me if its crazy to plan travel a month after surgery? Or will I still be feeling pretty wonky?

I went on vacation at 6 weeks out. I felt great. You should be good by 4 wks just plan for your food according to what you can tolerate at that time. If you can go shipping instead of eating out that would be easier for you. But at 4 wks I had energy and felt well enough to travel.

Thank you so much! Im glad to hear it. I haven't told anyone in the office. I'll make sure to pre-plan my meals!!!

I was away for almost a week about five weeks after surgery when we had to do my mother's big Italian funeral near NYC - just planned my meals and got a hotel room with a fridge so I could stock yogurt, Protein Shakes and other high Protein stuff - I pushed food around on my plate alot when I was with the family and no one noticed. Good luck. (No one in my family other than my husband and two daughters knew about the surgery. They still don't 105 pounds later.)

But no lifting! I was told nothing more than a gallon of milk weight for 6 weeks.
