Peppermint tea for the gas they pump you with. Rest up but also go for small walks even if it's just up the road and don't leave until they give you pain relief for recovery. Hope it goes well 💛

Best of luck to you!!! I don't have any in hospital tips, but i do know that really getting up and moving when you CAN will make a huge difference. Maybe physical therapy? I walk a lot and it helps break up my scar tissue.
