How long did you guys wait before going out shopping for house hold items or anything? I think I have over did it and now I'm paying for it. My whole body has aches and pains and this is the most pains I have had since surgery. I had surgery 1/4/17.

To answer your question, I don't recall.

There's no reason not to go out if you want, but take it easy. You didn't say how long you were out, how much walking you did and how fast or how heavy your packages were. Slow down and, when you start to feel uncomfortable or tired, head home or sit down to regroup and then go home. Pay attention to how you feel. Also limit the weight you lift or carry. The usual doctor's advice is five lbs (or is it 10?)

You will find you need to rest a lot the next couple of weeks! Listen to your body and rest and before you know it you will wake up one day feeling so good. I did not believe it as I felt so tired all the time and this week I woke up with energy and ready to go....the fog had lifted! I was sleeved on Dec 9th 2016. I ordered all my groceries and household items from Amazon Prime and had them delivered in 2 hours!

I don't trust my body enough to 'listen to it'. My body kept telling me to lift weights and run on the treadmill at 2 weeks out.. i succumbed to the latter and had just a bit of discomfort..

I did it at day 5 and it was a huge mistake. I rapidly got worse and took forever to feel better. I really think I would have been further along if I hadn't. The walks outside, however, were great!

I had RNY on 12/21. Came home 12/22. Went Christmas shopping 12/24. I think it depends on how you are feeling and when you are ready.

      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.
