PS: I drank a bottle of Milk of Magnesia to help with the bowl movements. I worked but it worked a little too well!

I am at 25 days post op and doing well - I am actually down 9 lbs from my surgery date. I get a little frustrated with how long the recovery process is, but I try to remember that it is just time and it will pass. Your gain is probably just swelling, I wouldn't mind it too much. I didn't weigh myself for the first time a week or so post op and I was down in weight by a few pounds. Just watch what you're eating since there is no exercising right now. (I use MyFitnessPal.com to count my calories to make sure I don't over do it)

I didn't really START swelling until my third week, so I think it's normal to swell more later in the recovery. I wore my "ice belt" as often as possible and now I watch my diet (Nothing fried, no breads, drink green tea and citrius and LOTS of water daily). It's frustrating and annoying but I'm told it will eventually go away. Happy Healing! :)

I had plenty of Green Tea, citrus, and some raw honey this past weekend and I do think it helped. Thank goodness! Thank YOU!
