I have a big family vacation planned the involves both a long flight and a ling drive.  My surgery date is two months before we leave. I'm wondering if I should opt-out and tell the gang I'llmjoin them next time.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

I was sleeved 10/25 and went to Disney World 12/20. Felt great - had NO problems. I ate out almost every meal and did fine. Walked so much I lost 5 lbs that week (which is very high for me). Listen to your body and do what you can do. Know what you need, take care of you. All in all it should be FINE!! Have a FANTASTIC time!!

Eight weeks? I think you would totally be fine. I was feeling great after the fourth week or so.

No way!  Enjoy yourself.  I was 2 months out as of April 3rd.  I feel fantastic!  The first couple of weeks are rough!  By the 6-8 week mark.  I am able to eat whatever I want, although very little of it...and I adhere to a low carb healthy eating plan, but I feel totally normal and back to my old self.  All the hormone/emotional stuff has simmered down, the head hunger probs have dulled, I can get my protein and fluids in without issue.  None of this was even conceivable int he first 3-4 weeks after surgery.  I say go for it!  Make sure you pack some food for yourself for the long trips and drink plenty of water.  You should be fine.

I will be out 2 months tomorrow.  I have WAY more energy,.  It's amazing how much better you feel after losing even 40 pounds!  I say you would be better off to have the surgery.  There is nothing I can't do or eat or drink.  You will be glad you did it before the trip.

 We packed up the RV and left on a 3 month road trip today! I'm with my Mom and three kids, I feel completely fine and am about 6 weeks out. I did the vast majority of the organizing, list making, shopping, packing, etc., as well.

I'm seven weeks now and feel just fine. I could totally go on a flight or drive right now with no problems. Go have fun.
