Is HoLep recovery worth the procedure?

Please excuse me, but as far as I know, medical papers about HOLEP suggest you have to take 2 or 3 liters of water during HOLEP healing time. Is 30oz of water too little to accelerate HOLEP healing time? If possible can you explain which body movements your doctor do not allow to make, like bending too much? How could you change your clothes without bending?

Currently I’m drinking 30oz a day plus juice. Upon discharge it was 28oz a day another 28 or more through bedtime. Also strict No soda , coffee, or sugar drinks for as long as you can.
As for mobility, I can’t explain my advanced recovery. I did not suffer any issues with bending over or standing up. Even my urologist and staff were skeptical when I insisted my catheter be removed as soon as I saw no blood in my bag 8 hours after surgery. I went on my own immediately and it’s been successful out of the gate. The sting or burn only lasted a few days for a few minutes. No internal pain in my experience. I was allowed to fly home 2 days later but for safety I stayed 3 more days until my pathology test came back negative. As for changing my clothes , I step on the cuff and do my best pulling standing up bending my knee. I had a harder time sitting since my bladder was full for 5 years.

Oh and was not allowed to lift weights for a month. Same for No long walks , but no sitting still long either. No dog walking ( pulling) I can eat anything but some food/drinks can irritate your bladder and inflame your already sensitive urethra.
