Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to get up as much as possible since it’s the only thing that seems to help. Besides this is grateful that for now I can keep my fluids down without feeling sick it’s been a big help

Do the incisions hurt without movement or when you flex your abdomen in any way? If the latter, hold a pillow against yourself.

... As an aside, as I write this I am in a gym parking lot and on my list of weights this evening are hoist abdominal crunches at 205 lbs for 36 reps total... So don't worry, it'll go away eventually then you can look forward to post workout pains.
