I'm going to Toronto for my surgery and I'm curious how many of you would have been able to go shopping and explore after surgery? My surgery is on the 18th and I have to stay the night in to hospital then I have to stay in town till the 21st. I really don't want to be cooped up in a hotel while I'm in a new city.

Not me, but I wouldn't have been able to shop and explore before surgery. It will really depend on your general fitness level and how well you are recovering. You certainly won't be able to lift or carry anything and will need to be sipping something almost continuously.

You will find that you get tired really quickly, and you will want to sit down a lot because your midsection will start to ache. You won't last too long, IMO...at least not for roughly a week or so after surgery. You definitely won't want to be carrying bags or anything.

Thank you. ????

I did all of my normal routines the day after I left the hospital - which included grocery shopping, and taking my grandkids to the park. I did nap quite a bit the first few days, but I honestly felt great!

I could have easily. I was more tired than usual, but not anything a short nap couldn't mend.

Take it easy but the more walking the better you'll feel

I was able to walk around no problem walking felt better than sitting and laying down it also help relieve with the gas discomfort
