How much is too much (work-related) after surgery?

Hi....I was 3 weeks post op (TAH/BSO) on Wednesday. Feeling pretty good generally except for a couple of nagging things (little aches and pains, headachy, sometimes weepy, hot flashes at night but they haven't been bad yet! tired), but I know I'm early on, so these should go away (hopefully). I'm hoping to go back to work on 8/23. I'm going to have some business related travel in the next few months, (a 1-2 day trip to CA, a 1 day more local)....the most concerning one to me is one scheduled in the early fall for overseas (2 weeks). By the time I go overseas, I'll be just under 3 months out of surgery. Is this too much? Other than the tired I feel right now I don't really have any reservations, but I'd like some opinions.
Thanks!

you might find that you're still very tired on your overseas trip, so if you have some downtime, you might want to plan to rest alot and just baby yourself...

Have you talked to your doctor about the planned trips? S/he may be able to help you decide if your body will be ready for the trips and how to make them more manageable and safe for you!

Best wishes!

Yeah, you should chat with your doc about the trips, and then if he okay's them just listen to your body, like you would at home, and if you need to rest you just rest....hopefully you will feel great and ready to get back in the action.
