6 day PO. No curves on flanks- Swelling???

I was able to take off my binder today for like 15 mins. My stomach is covered with bandages really high- on inch over my bb - I think. However, I look like a box - no curves on my flanks. That scared me a little. Do you think it is because of the swelling? I had lipo on my flanks, lower back and pubis mons.

5 day PO.

Hunched. Tight. Itchy. That means I am okay.

Yesterday night was another story, I started to throw up more like dry heave and it was so painful. It was acidity caused due to all medicines and vitamins I am taking to keep my cough at bay. I need to be more careful.

My husband pulled out my pain pump yesterday and that reduced my drainage output substantially.

I feel very itchy under my binder. And I have a very creepy crawly feeling too.

I cannot take a shower until my drains come out - per my doctor and my hair is driving me crazy. Sponge bath was okay until yesterday but today I so felt like cheating and jumping into the shower.

Other than that, I am walking but not so much. I am watching reruns of all my favorite shows.

3 day PO.

it gets better everyday. I had my BM yesterday morning which I was happy with because I was all set for waiting another 2 -3 days. Thanks to the advice from this forum, I started my stool softener 2 days before the surgery and I started with MOM 1 day PO. That really helped.

Ladies, please rent a hospital bed, it is a life saver.

I was not able to get out of the bed on day 1 and day 2 PO but today I can go to the rest room by myself.

My cough has come back. its mild but it back. I am taking mucinex to avoid coughing.

Today is longest I survived with narcotic pain med. I took one at 12AM and I may take one at 3PM. I did take x-strength tylenols in between to manage pain. I also have a pain pump which I think is helping.

I am still marking not sure because I have not removed my binder yet so I have no idea what I look underneath. It is so itchy and I think it is even big, its digging in my skin and my boobs. I really want to peak, but my doctor has strictly advised me not to...so I dont know.
