12/17 Surgery & Worried About Christmas

My surgery date is December 17 and I am worried about how I am going to feel for Christmas. I have 2 little kids and I normally have our families here on Christmas Day. I'm not so worried about eating but I am just worried that I'm not going to have any energy or feel yucky in general. I told my husband I will still have it here but we will either have it catered or have everyone bring 2 dishes.

Can anyone that is sleeved already give me some incite on how they felt a week after surgery?

:) Thanks!

You will be fine, tired but fine. You just may need to take a few breaks in between all the action. Just listen to your body and don't over do it.

I didn't feel like hosting a Christmas gathering. My stomach was a little sore. My energy level was in the toilet. There are those who had other experiences. It is not possible to know what yours will be.

I am sure your energy will be low and hosting a dinner party takes ALOT of energy!! I hope that your husband and guests will be doing the serving, dishes, entertaining while you relax on the sofa. You really won't be doing much else.
