If you have been on solid food since the day of your surgery you may have your first stool about now. You can expect it to be dry, hard and difficult. With some procedures you may have a small tube in each labia and one of them is taken out. This is done hourly. The amount of fluid used starts small and is increased daily.
Activity can again be anything from bed rest to up walking around the hospital.
If your IV is still in, it will be taken out today. If you had a small tube removed yesterday the other will probably be removed today. Some of the sutures may be taken out. This is about the earliest your catheter can be removed so you should be drinking lots of fluids by now. You will have to learn to urinate again and you'll find all the cute stories about this are true.
