Mine was done 10 years ago in S. Fla. After surgery my week or so in the hospital was the worst part, not because of pain, just wanting to go home. Strict instructions to not lift anything heavier than a qt. of milk for about 8 weeks so as not to disturb the split in your breastbone that was wired back together. Walking was required every day but the temps were too hot in S. Fla. so my wife drove me to a mall which was cool and I could walk. Best to follow the doctors orders. I was told I wouldn't feel back to normal for a year, but I don't think it was quite that long.
While recuperating it's a good time to read up on your condition that caused the need for this bypass surgery.
I changed my diet and included exercising at least 4 days a week. I feel great. I also had Cardiod artery surgery to open up that artery several years before and know I have a propensity for clogged arteries.
