Hi Emma, you wont be fit for much for months. It can take up to a year to recover. Its a really difficult, major surgery to get over. just rest as much as you can, and try not to worry too much about getting back into things.

Vitamins will only help if you are short of them. Don't try to push yourself too much, the stitches deep in your tissues are still there and you are still healing. You don't want the repair to fail, mine did, but I will manage it, couldn't go through with it again. I ended up with nerve damage after the op.
