Your recovery,
day by day.
Trusted guidance through every stage of healing.

Zuri organizes common post-operative milestones by recovery day — helping you understand what's normal, what to do today, and when to contact your doctor.

Educational guidance only. Zuri is based on common post-operative recovery patterns. It does not diagnose conditions or replace your surgeon's instructions.

All data stays on your device. Nothing is shared without your action.

Before Surgery Day
Set everything up before you go in. You'll thank yourself on Day 1.
SET UP YOUR RECOVERY SPACE
📦 Pre-open all medications and wound care supplies — you won't have the strength to manage packaging when you get home
⬆️ Move everything to elevated surfaces — counters, tables, shelves you can reach without bending over
🛏️ Set up a recovery station beside your bed — water, phone charger, medications, TV remote. Everything within reach without getting up
🪑 Identify your recovery chair — firm with armrests is ideal. Low sofas and soft chairs are much harder to get out of post-surgery
🚽 Consider a raised toilet seat — especially for inguinal and umbilical repairs where sitting is painful
PRACTICE THESE BEFORE SURGERY
🔄 Log roll out of bed — roll to your side first, push up with your arms, never sit straight up. Practice it a few times before surgery so it's second nature when you need it
🦀 Back into bed like a crab — back up to the edge, sit down, then lower yourself sideways. Much easier on your abdomen than trying to climb in straight
🪜 Plan your stairs — if your bedroom is upstairs, consider sleeping on the ground floor for Days 1–3
GET THESE BEFORE SURGERY DAY
💊 Stool softeners (Colace/docusate) — start Day 1, don't wait for constipation to develop
🧴 MiraLAX — have it on hand. If there's no bowel movement by Day 3, use it. Straining puts direct pressure on the repair site
🧊 Two ice packs — rotate them so one is always cold. 20 minutes on, 40 minutes off at the incision
🩲 Supportive underwear — snug but not tight. Especially helpful for scrotal or groin swelling after inguinal repair
🥤 Electrolyte drinks — Gatorade, Pedialyte. Staying hydrated matters more than eating the first couple of days
🍌 Soft, easy foods — bananas, yogurt, soup, crackers. Don't worry about eating much the first couple of days; hydration matters more
🌡️ Thermometer — fever over 101°F (38.3°C) is a warning sign. Have one ready so you can check
FOR YOUR CAREGIVER
📋 Make sure your caregiver has your surgeon's after-hours number before you go in
⏰ Set alarms for pain medication — don't wait for pain to peak before taking it
📝 Keep a note of what medications were taken and when — anesthesia affects memory more than people expect
🚗 Plan who is driving home — you cannot drive yourself, full stop
💚 Day 1 is the hardest day for caregivers too. It gets better quickly — usually within 48 hours.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO IN
😴 General anesthesia is safe — the grogginess and nausea you feel after are normal and temporary
📅 Days 1–3 are the hardest. Days 4–5 usually bring a real shift. Week 1 is survivable.
