Quick bounce back?

I'm have surgery thursday, is it unreasonable to be able to do some shopping Sunday or Monday? Will I be too sore?

    I had surgery on a Monday and was walking Walmart on the Thursday. Everyone heals differently, I just needed to wait til I was off the pain meds before I could drive. Go with how you feel.

  • I had surgery on a Thursday. Didn't feel like doing anything until Sunday and I went to the store for about an hour and came home... I was exausted!! Everyone is different.... Just see how you feel

I had surgery on a Wednesday and went to a concert on the Sunday - and wish I hadn't. Even though it was a sit down affair, it really was too much for me at that stage.

Yeah I agree with everyone else. Each person is different. I had a lot of post op gas pain and didn't feel like doing anything without being on pain meds. Today I'm post op 5 and had to go to work. It was very limited and barely lasted 4 hours. If I could of stayed home I would of. I did take liquid ibuprofen though which helped tremendously.

I had surgery on a Wednesday, went shopping on a Thursday and paid for it Friday and Saturday. I think you can do what you feel like doing but just take it easy. I over did it majorly and felt awful day 2 and 3.
