36yr Old Mum of 2 Teenagers Lost 4 1/2 Stone Having Much Needed TT

Day 18 po and I am so bored and frustrated at not being able to get on with stuff. I'm managing to get out and about but I'm so fed up off shopping but there's not much else I can do! I'm managing small things at home like putting washing in sweeping (I have to be very gentle doing this) and polishing. Not attempting anything heavier yet even though the house is doing my head in and the hubby and kids seem to have lost all compassion and expect me to be back to normal! I tried a short drive yesterday which I found uncomfortable and have been up most of the night with bad back ache and horrendous tightness in my tum. Won't be doing that again in a hurry. I'm sick of seeing baggy trousers and leggings (which I hate with a passion but have had to give into them) tried some jean jeggings yesterday managed 10 minutes before I had to take them off. If the weather was warmer I could wear dresses feels more like October than August! So fed up with this swelling. Fingers crossed things will improve over the next week!

Had a positive appt with PS yesterday he is very pleased with my progress and 'll dressings are off! Feels a bit strange against my clothes but looks a lot better than I thought I finally feel like I can start getting back to normal - slowly of course!

Feeling much more like myself again managed a couple of trips out to the shops and for a Sunday lunch. Tried some underwear on yesterday couldn't believe that was me even with the swelling! I'm still getting an ache in one leg so will mention that to the ps this aft when I go for final dressing removing - can't wait to see what the scar looks like! I feel like it's time to start getting back to normal starting with the diet I have had a huge appetite since the op which is so unlike me but really need to reign it in now. Don't want to undo what I've paid for.
