Each person seems to heal differently. I would say no longer than 2 weeks, but maybe sooner if you heal faster. My doctor told me I could ride my Harley after 2 weeks, so fishing and golfing is definately in that range. Just go by how you are feeling, if you are up to it, give it a try.
Get your food/drinks in now before you go so you won't have to worry about it when you come home.
Use a heating pad for any gas pains in the shoulder and don't forget that walking helps more than anything else does.
Showers only until you totally heal up (no baths or swimming pool)
Good luck with your surgery and post when you can and let us know how you did.
