No you can do them but for me the first few days was painful.
Every recovery is different many people had very easy recoveries others not so much.
As long as you go slow and easy you'll do fine.

No, I was ok . Very tired and sore but It was tolerable. No drains for me. That might be for bypass I had the sleeve.
My husband took only I day off and I was ok. I didn't do stairs. Alot of sleeping and walking and of course trying to get liquids in.
I have a high energy job so I took 5 weeks off and I was good going back. It took alot out of me the first couple days back.
I love premeir protein. I had to water them down after surgery but they have so many flavors that you don't get too bored. All flavors except the peanut butter( I didn't like that one ) were really good. No problem asking questions. I had so many also

Mine is on the 8th. Good luck to you
