Avoid putting pressure or tension on the wound or surgical incision that is healing; also increase your protein intake. The stitches bring the wound edges together so the body can heal, so depending where the incision is on your body, try to avoid any movements that may pull the incision apart, until you have a follow up with your surgeon. However if the incision is around a joint area, you do not want to avoid moving the join completely because it can lead to a "frozen joint"; so better to check with your surgeon.
