I couldn’t have managed a meal out, I could barely eat my takeaway haha. Don’t know whether it was the anesthetic/pain killers but I felt really out of it, plus I couldn’t move my arms very much and was just generally uncomfortable. But my op was at 2pm so didn’t have much time to recover before tea time. You might feel ok though, everyone is different, if you’re pain threshold is good you might be able to manage. Good luck for your op 🙂 xo
