For the first week after I was really weak and didn't have much energy. I was told to get up and walk around as much as possible, but if I felt dizzy to take it easy. I will be honest the first two weeks I really took it easy. I didn't go back to work until 3 weeks after surgery. I am starting to get some energy back, but it's been slow coming. For me personally there was nothing wrong with taking it easy, but I just made sure I got up and moved around and walked throughout the day, so I didn't get any blood clots. It definitely helped with recovery. Are you having. Hard time getting up or walking?

Congrats on your surgery. Hopefully you are recovering well.

Take it easy and listen to your body. Everyone heals at different rates.
