No lifting greater than 15 lbs for 2 weeks. Speak to your surgeon if you have constipation. Ambulate as much as possible.
It depends on what happens during the surgery. Walk, organic Mediterranean diet. Don't lift heavy objects or strain during bowel movement.
Post-operative things to remember after appendectomy are as follows:
1-no driving for at least one week
2-maintain an adequate diet
3-be careful taking narcotic pain medicine until return of bowel function
4-notify your physician if you have a fever, nausea, vomiting, redness around incision, drainage from incision, or incision swelling. Make sure you keep your follow-up appointment.

I usually recommend walking as much as possible after surgery. That can help relieve the gas pain and promote bowel movements while decreasing the risk of bed sores and blood clots. You should avoid strenuous activity or lifting more than 20 lbs for 2 weeks. You should avoid driving until you no longer have to take prescription pain medication.
