lrainb 32 Posted August 25, 2012 My surgeon says use ice packs as long as you can... At least a couple weeks... To help swelling. The post op diet he uses doesn't graduate you to real food just advancing liquids clear then full then puréed for 7 weeks. He does this to assure healing and help with swelling and bruising... Hope at helps, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeaveItToSleever 80 Posted August 28, 2012 I want to say about 2.5 wks, but the truth is my gut is STILL more flabby and distended than it ever was before surgery. I think it may have something to do with the fact that my ab muscles are still so sore that I can't engage them, so they have no tension or firmness yet (almost 4 weeks out now). I definitely need to do some sit-ups asap. Just waiting for the incisions to heal completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
