Getting back to normal

I’m 36 years old with 2 children (2 yo and 3 months old).  I had surgery a little over 1 week ago (Feb 7) to repair a cystocele (stage 3), rectocele (stage 1), enterocele ligation, and perineoplasy.  I did not have any mesh used.  I have been recovering well but still taking ibuprofen and can’t sit really well.  I can’t pick up either of my kids yet and have been told i shouldn’t pick up my daughter (the 2 yo, who weighs 30 lbs) until 6 weeks after surgery!!  When can I expect to feel “normal” again and what is a realistic assessment of when I’ll be able to do any heavy lifting?  I guess I just want to hear some success stories because everything I hear is about failure rates!!
