Tightness in am is minimal but by noon, is excruciating. All I can do is lay on my back, even walking to bathroom is awful. Wasnt this way before day 6, I could walk around house with min discomfort. Drains removed day 6, am I just swelling more? Dont think it's seroma because no "wave" of fluid (stomach is actually rock hard) and is soft in am. Breasts also painful&full by noon but fine in am. Is it normal to feel worse everyday? Scale lower every morning so doesn't appear I'm retaining water.
