You should probably review with your surgeon, at 4 weeks you may still get tired easily... but you probably do that already, if you are like me... so as long as your friends don't mind a break now and again for you to recoup, I would think you are ok... I went to New York about 3 months after surgery, and there was a lot of walking (I needed to use a cane because of my RA)... I was able to walk so much better, but at the end of the day, I was exhausted beyond words...

Depending on your activities, your doctor can advise, because you are still healing...

good luck and have fun!

Thanks for your information.. I did talk to my surgeon.. He said he thinks I will do fantastic.. I'm 6ft tall and 125 pounds over weight.. I do really good on walking now.. My lower back aches and my knees will hurt.. But other than that and going up hills, I do very well.. I just hate the thought of postponing surgery, seems I'm always postponing weight loss..

I've never blogged before so I thought it would be a perfect time to ask some other people about their experiences

Thanks again...

I went on vacation at 5 weeks post op. Just went to the lake, but still went shopping, went for walks, and had a huge hill to climb getting from the lake to the house. No issues besides food choices, since I was still trying to get used to the right portion sizes and figuring out what to eat. But that's a battle whether you are home or away! No regrets with taking a vacation.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
