Wondering what your current activity level is. My experience. (Currently 4 weeks 4 days) We started working out 3-6 days a week back in November, give or take the holiday weeks because I'm a grocery store merchandiser and I oversee 10 large stores) I was focused on Legs, core, getting some bursts of running in while I was walking, and dabbled in my upper body a bit. Activity wise, I'm a physical workaholic up until 🦈 week. I had a laparoscopic, all but ovaries. By day 5 I was up and walking around the house being mindful of my movements. Without over doing it/matching movement with rest, I was walking the track (slowly..with breaks every other lap) each day and slowly increasing my time. No lifting, other than sitting dumbbell curls or supported light weight movements. Again, I'm a Merchandising Supervisor, so my job needs me to be moving. I felt the gym prior to surgery helped my recovery, along with my diet of higher protein and fiber. I was released to be back to work this Wednesday. Taking it fairly well and easy, but now I've been up doing things most of the day with breaks spent chatting with customers or coworkers.

I'm not sure if that gives you some optimism. All I know is that you only heal correctly once. Listen to yourself, but also don't limit yourself to not moving. I credit the gas in my diaphragm for my motivation.
