I was up and walking a few hours after surgery and not much pain/discomfort at all. But, everyone has a different experience! Keep walking especially after meals. When I got home, I walked outside in the driveway back and forth or in the house if it was raining to start with and added more steps each day. I wore a pedometer and kept track of my steps, too! Walking helps with gas and digestion and you don't have to do a lot all at once, just do what you can as many times a day as you can. 

I am almost 6 weeks post op, been back to work for past 2 weeks (5 hours a day) and will be back full time on Monday. Just get enough protein each day, drink your fluids and take your vitamins and walk a little more each day!
 
One day at a time!! :)
