The first month after the surgery----I need answers

I am a high school football coach and I am getting the sleeve on July 26. I am scheduled to begin practices on Aug. 9th. I am trying to get an idea of what my condition will be like. Can anyone help me with these questions--

1. How many days after the surgery will I feel pain and how intense is it?

2. Will I be able to walk around the first few days?

3. How weak will I feel during the 2 week liquids only period post-op?

It was a JOKE! I am not calling everyone sissy's but the coach should be fine.

i am 2 weeks out and actually i had more pain the second week than the first week, but i used tylenol. overall it wasnt bad. i was up walking the day of surgery.i wasnt weak either, just would tire out. im going back to work in 1 more week, but honestly i could of gone today. the only thing id be concerned about is any heavy lifting
