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 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.

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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
