How active are you allowed to be 1-2 weeks post op?

I’m not feeling too bad, had my op a week ago today. Got a huge pile of ironing waiting for me as I’ve been putting it off. Just wondering how active any other girls 1 / 2 weeks post op are? I don’t want to over do it or do any damage but I feel ready to start doing housework etc

I’m assuming this is ok? Would be gutted if I done too much and caused damage. Don’t really know what the consequence would be of lifting stretching etc too early?

Any advice gratefully received. thanks ladies xx

After the first week I was a bit more active, going for walks and tidying up etc it’ll probably make you feel better, but I wouldn’t do the ironing just yet x

I agree with Belle,leave the ironing a bit longer honey.xxx

i’ve been quite actuve since i 1st got them dne jst over a week ago as well, doing dishes, hanging up washing, shopping etc. xxx

yess i am interested too i am pre but want to no how long to prepare to be laid up for as have animals horses etc and a house to clean

I’m just really conscious that I go back to work next week and the day will be much more hectic then and I prob won’t feel like doing it then either! I’ve been home with my kids this last week so been pottering about doing a few bits anyway. I took the kids and dog or for a much needed walk today. Blimey it was good to get out!! I worry that whatever I put off now will just knock on to next week when I will probably feel more tired after working all day. Besides that we are running out of clothes

I know I should probably wait but I’ve had no help from parents etc and now thinking I need to start getting organised before work, school and nursery next week. Maybe if I do a little bit each day?

I was so convinced my parents would help out once they come to terms with me having the op but I have only had a text asking how the kids are. At least I know where I stand I guess!

Awww Faye am so sorry to hear you’ve been through this without much help. I think it’s very strong and independent of you and I’m sure lots of other girls have battled through it this way too. I didn’t end up telling my mum last weekend as she’s not very well at all, so didn’t want to add to it. Am just gonna wait til it’s done to tell her and take my chances. I hope things go ok when you’re back at work, I’ve been worrying about that too. Does your boss know? x
