First Day After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my surgery and it went really well, the surgeon was in and out in 45 minutes and there were no complications. My stomach is sore but I'm not really nauseous. I've been taking walks around the hospital and I just started my sips of Water. Today I meet with my surgeon to discuss after care, my psychologist and my dietician, just for an overview. I can't wait to go home and lay with my kitty.

What should I do for exercising when I get home? I thought 30 min on my treadmill would be ok

NO NO NO at least i don't think so, just walk around inside the house every hour or so, increasing the time. Please don't jump on the treadmill right away. You have some healing to do. Ask your doc but I really think he will say the same thing. In a couple of weeks he may say you can start the treadmill. Then again I could be all wrong.

There is nothing wrong with short slow walks on your treadmill. When I got home from my surgery I did little 5-10 min walks on my treadmill every hour. I used on the slowest speed I could. Helped with gas.

      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.
