Hi! You should be able to prepare non- extensive meals within days of surgery. No strenuous activities including entertaining for about 4 weeks. Please review with your surgeon.
Dear momma Dee,Thank you for your question. This all depends on how you are feeling as you heal. It will probably be a few weeks before you feel like you can stand completely upright, and be on your feet for a bit. You may also be taking pain medications, which can make you uneasy while standing or being on your feet. You may be able to do some light cooking for yourself, but any serious cooking will probably take a few weeks to get back into. Best of luck with your healing!
