what an inspiration! I hope I do as well! 
I was up as soon as I got back to my room, all night at intervals and until they released me about noon.
I walked frequently around the inside of my house, had my husband wake me up for fluids and walking in the night for a few more days. Then started small walks around my neighborhood at about 4 days out. Couple days after that, I was back to a mile and a half. Last Sunday I walked 4 miles. I am cleared for exercise machines and 5 pound weighs for my arms as of two weeks. Ab work at 4 weeks.

They had me up and walking as soon as possible. Helped to get rid of the leftover gas in my abdomen from the laproscopic surgery, as well as keep from developing blood clots. I walked as often as I was awake the first day, and once the IV pain meds were switched to oral meds, I went for a walk 1/2 hour after each pain pill. That way it didn't hurt, and I could go a little further each time.
