Post op 1 week and hate lying around

[Bigmommatojacob 54]

Had surgery last Friday and Wednesday I cleaned house. I did all my weekly chores but took my time and rested between. Then I did laundry but only lifted the light clothes. I left the heavy stuff for the hubby. Did I mess up or can I mess up my new tummy doing small chores? I hate just sitting around.

No, for that matter the more you get up and move the easier your recovery should be. A common mistake people make after any surgery is to lay around and expect the body to recover itself. Good Luck.

My doc says we should be up doing our normal Activities. My concern was about energy. Do you have energy? I don't get mine until May 20th.

Hi, I am in week 1 of liquid diet I have no energy, I do walk but get tired really fast.

I am 6 weeks post-op and I still struggle with energy. My body knows if I didn't get all my Protein and Water in the day before. I get dizzy and very weak. I've started taking B12 and being more religious about Vitamins.

Good to know. I hear the Vitamins are essential. Did you all stay overnight in hospital? We have surgery on a Tuesday morning and out by noon on Wednesday

Thanks everyone that's what I thought. The only orders I got from my dr was not to lift anything over ten pounds.
