I am scheduled for surgery July 27th. I have a family vacation planned to Disney Over Labor Day weekend. I will be 5 weeks out. Should I push back my surgery date?

Everyone recovery is different. I unfortunately wasn't one of the lucky ones that had a smooth recovery. I'm 6 weeks out and finally feel so much better. I had a lot of nausea to the point where I would vomit and ended up in the ER twice for fluids. Even though I'm better, I don't think I would have the energy for Disney.

I would think you should be good to go then. At five weeks I was on regular food, so you should probably be on regular food and your energy levels should be good.

it's really hard to say since everyone recovers differently. At 5 weeks out I was cleared for all foods and with that my energy was starting to come back. I can only speak for myself, but at 5 weeks I felt fine. But disney does involve lots of walking and lots of yummy foods. If you are cleared for all foods by then I would say go enjoy your trip and enjoy tiny bits of all the yummy stuff but stop and sit for a little bit every now and then

Yes look at your food plan....what stage will you be in at 5 weeks?.....Once I was on real food I was feeling back to normal.....I'd say you'll be fine by then as long as you're eating normal food.

You can always talk with your nut. I know soft food is limited but it is still way more normal than liquid!

I too will be headed to vacation on cusp of my scheduled change to "full" food stage, she told me to just discuss timing and I made my six week post op appointment now with that timing in mind.

My husband and I went away right around my 5-6 week

mark and although I got tired easy I was fine.

Keep up your Water intake in the Florida heat, especially with all the walking.

There has been a couple Disney post lately with some great tips on food choices exc. search for Disney and they should come up

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'm worried about the vacation or if I'm getting cold feet. Really nervous!

Yes so much better! I ended up in the ER got IV fluids and Vitamins and the nausea went away. I can now eat and drink with no problems and losing weight is definitely a plus . Being sick for over a month left me very weak but I started walking and I'm beginning to get my strength back.
