Congrats on making through your first post surgery day. As stated by others, don’t hesitate to treat pain (because you need the sleep) and if needed later, medication to get the your bowels working again. Don’t be surprised if some temporary discomfort/pain due to the gas used in your surgery. Walking as much as you can to get the circulation going and hydrating to help surgical healing are also key.

I walked and went a little further each day. It certainly helped me recover!
