    Hi I know everyone is different, some people saying they feel fine after a few days, others saying they still feel terrible, I’m hoping to get my op the 23rd April, been invited somewhere 12 days after, do you think I’ll be feeling upto it ?? I’m hoping I will be okay by then and be able to have a day out, nothing too extreme just a few drinks and food. Xx

    I found Days 2 and 3 the worst with stiffness and I ached. by day 5 though the stiffness had eased significantly. I’d say by day 12 you’ll be up to it, I know people recover at different rates but I think there’s a lot of girls that are back at work 14 days after surgery xx

    My nurse suggested me not to drink for a while after the op as your body is still weak and heavy drinks may knock you down.

    But you should be fine to go out. Just don’t go crazy. Everyone is different and your body is going to tell you what you can or can’t ?

    Good luck ?
    Just listen to your body and don’t push yourself.
    Hope to hear from you after the surgery xx
