Surgery 3 weeks out?

I was suppose to have surgery in July and delayed because my boss asked me to so that I could work that month. I am

A little resentful to be honest.

I have another window in early October but would need to be back at it working 3 weeks after surgery. I travel by car and am in sales. I know I can't lift heavy items and I think I have all that worked out.

How was everyone feeling 3 weeks after surgery. Do you feel you could been working, driving 4/6 hours. Ect. Ect. Any feedback would be so appreciated.

I'm just a little over 1 week out and I feel great! I can't imagine how great I'll fell in two more weeks. I had very little pain and took no pain meds after surgery. However, everyone is different.

I'm 3 weeks yesterday, and I spent all day either visiting my clients in jail, or representing them in court...on my feet a lot and I felt fine, and my clients got some favorable outcomes. I think 3 weeks you should be fine as long as you walk a lot and stay hydrated.

Only thing anyone noticed is my boss asked if I "didn't like" my lunch because I only took a few bites and boxed it up. I explained (vaguely,) that I had to have surgery due to some health problems (which is true,) and that I now feel full very quickly.

I'm 2w 2d out and feel fine.

I went back to work in a week, felt fine, I had my surgery over seas and flew back on a Sunday went to work on Monday no problem. Just try to stay hydrated drink your protein you should be fine.

Make sure your insurance company is informed. I had to delay my surgery for a month because of work, and my insurance company tried to un-approve me the day before my rescheduled surgery. My surgeon, thankfully, was able to get the approval reinstated, or I might not be writing this.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!
