Hi,
- Slow walking can be started after 5 weeks post operative.While Gym with ab.muscles can be done between 6-8 months after your doctor's advice.
- You can start with leg raising (6-8 inches from ground)& moderate stretching exercises after 5 weeks.
_ have high protein,low fat,rich vitamin/minerals diet.Avoid fast food.Do routine work without exertion to abdomen from 5 weeks.
- Avoid fast food,cold drinks.
- take lot of fresh water.
Thanks
