After LAP RNY will I feel well enough to go on vacation in 8 weeks?

I am in the process of selecting a surgery date of 9/24,25 or 26 and I am wondering if I'll feel physically well enough to go on my vaction the week of Thanksgiving. I'll be chaperoning my daughters band to New York for the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade so I'll have to walk the entire route of approx. 2 1/2 miles. The doctors said I'll be on liquids for 6 weeks and then soft foods. Will I be used to my new stomach by then so that I can enjoy the trip? Should I postpone the surgery until after Thanksgiving?
