We plan our spring break vacation end of February every year, I will be 3 months postop, is that too soon to vacation? 5 hours in a car to the airport, then 3 hours on a plane, 1 week away from home in Florida :) Did anyone else vacation 3 months post op? Positive, negatives, how to survive the vacation? Thanks for any thoughts,
Brenda

I had surgery on 3/3 and went to Vegas in the beginning of July.  I didn't have any issues.  I did pack some beef jerky and peanuts for snacking emergencies and packed my powder protein shakes and a blender bottle so that I could still get in my protein while on vacation.  It was actually very nice because we saved so much money on food because we could share plates! You shouldn't have any issues, just be prepared and make sure to bring a few things along.  Have a great time!

You'll be fine! By the time you go, you will have your routine down and all will be well. Be sure to keep some snacks with you for the trip so you don't go too long without eating. Have fun!

Edit to add:
I had to make 2 unexpected trips up north when I was 3 weeks out, and again a few weeks later when my brother died.  I had just gotten to the "real food" stage.  I ate mostly deli meats but did try some of the other stuff my sister made.  I just took little portions and was very careful eating.  I also took a protein drink for each day.  I didn't bring my food scale (didn't want to check my bag), so I was just extra careful in what I took.  Most times I didn't finish what I took anyway. 

You should have a good handle on things at 3 months out.

I am 2 months out and I'd go anywhere!  Except Africa.  Africa scares me.

I had surgery on 1/6 and went on vacation on 4/28.  Closer to four months, but I would have been able to do it at 3 months or even less.  Now if you're wanting to go on any rides at Disneyland or something, you may want to ask your doctor about that.

Thank you ladies for your input! I don't know about rides I'm kind of a sissy, but i'll ask incase i get the itch to :) I have very supportive friends and they are begging me to go, Sounds like I'm in! Florida in February, YES PLEASE :)
Thanks again for your replies,
Brenda

 I went to the Dominican republic at 6 weeks out..I was able to do it with very little problems. Make sure to take ur protein

No problem - I was self pay in Mexico on Jan 6, 2011 and went to St. Martin on vacation on Feb 10th - just 5 weeks later. Bring your protein with -

3 months is fine. I'm almost 3 months out and feel great. No pain at all and I'm eating normally. Just be sure to plan ahead for snacks/drinks etc. so you're always prepared and hydrated. But you shouldn't have any problems then!
