Day 3 - Philadelphia, PA

I'm on day 3. I really don't feel the incision, it's the stomach muscle that was tightened that hurts.
It's exactly like I thought it would be so. i can walk just fine, slow of course and just a little hunched over. Going to the bathroom myself now. I have my husband empty my 2 drains and it has ben gradually getting less so hopefully they will come out on monday (my first post op visit) When I woke up I didn't feel much pain at all, its when the meds are running down that I start to feel the muscle. well, thats it for now, any questions?

oh I can see how small my wast is and I'm swollen,,,,,woot woot!!!

going to the doctors in a few minutes. I hope these drains come out. i know the pain pump will come out.
well the pain is different. I still have the stomach muscle pain but its bearable now. The incision is hurting now, its more of a burn. When I move the wrong way it feels like a cigar being put out on my hip. so obviously I try not to move the wrong way.
There is no pain that I didn't expect. Every day gets alittle easier. I will eventually post pics (I'm an idiot and have to figure out how) I find it easier to wear a sun dress rather than big pants and a shirt. I haven't had a bowel movement yet but thats not unusual for me. I'm gonna worry about that soon I guess however I have been taking a colace everyday since day 3. well thats it for now.

Heres before and after and also what the drains and pain pump look like
