Vacation at 8 weeks post op

I'm desperately needing advice from people who have been here before.. my surgery is 3/8 so less than a week away and I have a week long vacation planned to NYC the last week of April. This will put me at about 7-8 weeks post op. I know everyone recovers different but do you guys think I'll be able to fully enjoy my vacation? Not food wise but in terms of walking, not feeling nauseous, not feeling sore, etc or do you think I should try and push the vacation out a little longer?

I went to Florida at 6 weeks. I rode bicycles, and swam in the ocean. I also took a couple of naps that no one else needed, but I had enough energy to make it most of the time.

I had my surgery on 11/11/16 and I flew the following week to CT for a week long vacation for Thanksgiving. I was fine! Just had to plan ahead for meals, which was basically soft purée foods that week.

I think it's one of those things that should be fine but bring anti-nausea pills, lots of protein powder and take it slow when you need to, ENJOY your trip!!!
