how much could you do after?



Recommended Posts

I think they want you to wait until you are off your pain meds to drive a car, that and to wait until your reaction time is back to normal. My husband was paranoid and wouldnt let my drive until I went back for my wound check.

don't push yourself.

Don't lift anything heavier than a jug of Jack Daniels for a week or so. Other than that, follow common sense rules mentioned by Dimps.

Hopefully you have some help from supportive family and friends - if not, try to conscript some. It helps.

I took the week off.....2-3 days later I started getting cabin fever....didn't put a full day in but went back to the office just to get out of the house...also ran some errands.

One week after surgery I had my post-op followup, after which I was released to go back to work full time and allowed to exercise....

BTW, ant Rn will tell you the most important thing to do after major surgery is to get up and do something....

I was doing the cooking for my family from day one, light housework also, drove after a week and was back to pretty much doing everything except heavy lifting by end of second week. Seems my household falls apart even if I'm out of action for a day!!

As long as you aren't still on pain meds you should be ok to drive.

I was told after my surgery, not to lift anything over 10 lbs for 2 weeks

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
