I take a lot of water not salt, healthy food. but this depression killing me. someone here has the same experience? thanks for your help.

I still have swelling at month 3 so yes it is normal. You can have swelling for a while. Hang in there
catlady53 thanks for share your experience too..I will wait until 6 months to get out from swelling..thanks a lot.. I will be paciente.
yes totally and very hard to deal with when you are normally in charge energetic and have kids! YOU know it is hard! I just had my parents here for a month and now I am a month POst OP and this is hard! My husband works all the time and the kids are out of school this week! I am sooooo sore! LOVes a
I have swelling in my belly as well. My PO had me stop wearing my CG at five weeks because he said its done its job. The CG needs to stay off because my belly needs to cope on its own. I've had it off for almost a week now. The first 24 hrs was horrible! I swelled like you wouldn't believe! But I'm finding now my stomach is feeling stronger
Hi- I am 5wks po and I am wearing my spanx 24/7...I have only had a few days where I thought my swelling was "bad." I think it is normal to have swelling along the incision line. I'm to sure if it is going to get worse or gradually better?? I think you look fantastic and although it is hard for us...patience is the name of the game!

Thx N.Bisoto! The doctor told me it was from losing too much blood too fast that what caused the bruising. He took off one drain this passed Tuesday & the other comes out next Tuesday. Its so hard to relax, missing the gym right now.
