4 days post hysterectomy: Did i do too much??
Hi ladies!! I am 4 days post LAVH and thought I was doing well enough to do a couple of laps from my room across the hall to my daughter's room. I have never felt so out of breath before!!! I want to move the gas around but; it hurts! Should I wait a little while longer to tackle any further laps??

Re: Did i do too much??
Walking should be OK, just don't do 200 laps or so. :-) It is the bending and lifting that really stretch out your abdomen and can cause issues, so do be very careful with those activities. It is amazing how so many little things that you took for granted before can really affect your recovery now......
Hope you continue to have a great healing process!

Re: Did i do too much??
For me personally walking is the only way to get relief from the gas. So i walk a few laps around house then rest. Walk a few more then rest. That is pretty much my day lol. Today was better as far as the gas went though but the moving still helped me get relief from achy sore muscles. I would definitely say to listen to your body on it though and when it is hindering more than helping then rest.
The first few days the gas was so bad in my chest it would take my breath! I would barely be able to catch my breath at some points! Thats really when i was following a walk rest pattern but it did help. Hope you get some relief soon.
P.s. I edited my post because i at first was wondering if you meant running or walking laps. Then common sense kicked it lol. Its late, i have insomnia once again and my brain is a little slow i apologize! Hope your recovery is smooth and the gas pains quickly go away!
