Things to do while recovering from your surgery

Recovering from a tummy tuck can be difficult, and it can take anywhere from two to six weeks to recover. It can be hard to find things to do as you slowly start to recover and you can get back to do normal things. But it will not be easy, for a little while after your surgery everything will hurt and you will not be able to stand up for very long as it will hurt too much. Because of this you will be spending a lot of time in bed laying down. 

 

Laying down for that long can be hard because there is not a lot to do, but there are a few things that can help make your recovery more enjoyable. There are a variety of streaming services you can use, to find new movies to watch or a TV show to binge. If watching a lot of television is not something you enjoy doing there are other things to do. Reading can be both fun and something that gets you thinking. Even though you are stuck in bed you can be transported to different worlds through books. You can learn something instead of vegging in front of the TV.

 

Use the time you have doing nothing to reconnect with friends, old and new. You can take the time to have meaningful conversations with them and get to know more about them, or see how they are doing. Call your family members like your mom, dad, or siblings and see how they are doing and what is happening in their lives. Have people come and visit you, and just talk with them. 

 

Enjoy the time you have to relax and rest, because once it is over you have to get back to the real world.

 

Those of us who perform Tummy Tuck Utah want you to have the best recovery possible. To rest then come back better than ever, looking and feeling great and beautiful.
