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.

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.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
