31 day Update pics. New Pics

Pic update day 31.

I'm actually 38 days now. These are from last week. I have had some minor pain and swelling and spitting stitches otherwise everything seems good.

Oh I so so hated that drain. I mean I understand what a good purpose it serves but I simply felt like I couldn't do anything with it. In fact, as I said early that I have had a hell of a time with constipation...well the day after the drain was removed...I pooped three times...Halleluia!!! Anyways I am adding a few update pics from two days ago. Today I went running for the first time since surgery and I am incredibly swelled up at this point now. Has anyone had this occurrance? Everything outside of the swelling seems to be going okay, i had a small part of sutures open which the doc said will heal from below...looks like that is happening. I don't think really anything else is new. Oh when I was running today I kept reaching down to feel my belly jiggling and there was no jiggling....I am sure i looked straight up crazy running down the street with an ear to ear grin and my hands on my belly.

So really my only issue the swelling. I had sex for the first time a few nights ago and several times since and I have also noticed that my muscles in my upper stomach feel kinda tight afterwards....that it takes a minute to stand up straight.. Otherwise I am good..

I swear I feel more swelled today that I did the first couple of days. Is this normal? I still have my drains but their output is minimal now and I am not due to get them out til early next week. I have milked the lines so many times...they don't seem clogged. Anyone with same experience? I actually feel bigger than I did before surgery....I know that is ridiculous and I continue to tell my self have patience...it's just frustrating. and I HATE THESE DRAINS!!! UGH....they are irritating the hell out of my hoo-hoo!!!
