I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and cystoscopy yesterday. My OBGYN believes I have adenomyosis and my uterus was the size of a cantaloupe.

I just had a few questions based on others experiences:

I am not passing a lot of gas and have not had a bowel movement. When is “average” for the first movement?

How do you keep yourself from doing too much? I went to the grocery store (to get medications and snacks) after leaving the hospital and am struggling to rest even though I’m having pain.

I am a stomach sleeper. Any suggestions? I am sleeping on my side but find I am waking up about every half an hour to readjust.
