Walking and hydration with 2,000 ml daily of liquid probiotics, aloe vera juice and distilled water.
I usually recommend light activity (walking, jogging, up and down stairs, nothing strenuous, nothing more than 20 lbs) for 2 weeks after surgery. I tell my patients no restrictions after 4 weeks. Between weeks 2 and 4, you can gradually increase your activity level.

Doing too much activity too quickly after surgery may prolong your recover from 2-4 weeks into 8-12 weeks. Make sure you give yourself time to recover.
