You should follow your surgeon's advice about lifting and other activities. Everyone's post-surgery restrictions are different.

I'm 8 weeks post-op and this is when my surgeon said I could start lifting/exercising again. However, I'm not planning on it. I can help with groceries now and that's about all I'm comfortable with doing. And I wouldn't want to do it all day. I just don't have the energy yet. I was in excellent shape before surgery and didn't have any other health concerns besides the haital hernia and reflux.

The things you describe seem normal. Take it easy. Each week things will get better.
