Hi there. I am currently day 5 post op and had 400cc overs. I was up and about straight away, I feel mostly normal. I’ve not experienced any pain, just some discomfort which eased a lot yesterday. Being mobile really does help. I had some bloating the first 3 days and that added to the discomfort but thankfully that seems to have gone down a lot yesterday.
My kids are older so I don’t have to pick them up, but I’ve been doing normal household tasks as I would, just trying not to do heavy lifting as I don’t want to pull at my stitches.
I think provided you are prepared for Christmas beforehand (wrapping presents etc) then you will be fine, and it’s the perfect time to recover and take it easy. Just make sure hubby is the one getting the turkey in and out of the oven. Good luck with it xx
