I had surgery last month and still can't walk much because my stitches hurt. I've noticed I'm starting to gain weight since I'm not as active. What can I do to manage this without putting too much strain on my healing body?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To manage post-surgery weight gain during a period of limited mobility, focus on a healthy, balanced diet, monitor your calorie intake, and gradually reintroduce gentle movement as tolerated. Avoid overeating or consuming excessive sugary or fatty foods. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help.

Had a laparoscopic appendectomy 5 months ago but now getting pain on the right side of my abdomen again - what could be causing this? The pain just started recently and I'm not sure if it's related to the surgery or something else
It's possible the right-side abdominal pain you're experiencing 5 months after your laparoscopic appendectomy could be due to stump appendicitis, a rare complication where a remaining part of the appendix becomes inflamed. Other potential causes include scar tissue, hernias, or other abdominal issues. It's crucial to consult with your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
