4 weeks post laproscopic abdominal total hysterectomy and excision of the diaphragm and kidney. Honestly, I felt better immediately after surgery than I did prior to surgery. I was in really good physical shape prior to surgery in terms of strength, flexibility, and nutrition. Post-op, the first two weeks I did pretty much what you recommend here (minus the diaphragmatic breathing due to the diaphragmatic surgery). I also quit the opioid pain meds after the first day and ibuprofen after the 4th day. I really focused on good quality rest and balanced nutrition. By the end of the first week, I pretty much felt back to normal except for an occasional twinge here or there. For the first week, I used miralax to make sure my bowels stayed functional, but after that I had no issues as I eat plenty of fiber. I also recommend using a bathroom stool to help the body position for encouraging an easier bowel movement. Week 2-4 I just focused on walking a bit more and a tiny bit of gentle mobility work/stretching (nothing that would twist or strain abdominals or pelvic floor). I’m just ending my fourth week and honestly I feel fantastic. My energy is so much better now that all of the endometriosis, cysts, and fibroids are gone that I’m chomping at the bit to get going with exercise. Going into the next two weeks, I will work on very light workouts as I’ve been cleared for gentle exercise. Thanks for all of the videos and helpful info!

Where do you practice? I am getting ready for a hysterectomy in 2 weeks. Interested in finding out a good therapist after my surgery.
