How's everyone doing? I've been getting all my Water and Protein in. I've got to learn to pace my walking but I've been hitting about a mile a day in my steps. My stitches has been my new nemesis especially the left one. I think gravity isn't helping. So to combat this I got a belly band like for pregnancy and it seems to give it enough support. Also I'm still waiting for the surgery IV and the swelling to go down as I came out post-op 6lbs heavier than I went into surgery.

I totally relate to the weight gain! so crazy that Water weight and bloating is a real thing! good for you doing a mile per day! I have been taking it pretty easy, super tired. I couldn't do plain water, but I figured out that cold low calorie Gatorade mixed with regular water is my ticket to hydration!

I had a great recovery so far. Healing nicely. Getting my Vitamins and minerals in, fluids, and Protein in every day. Walking a few miles every day. No pain at all. Here comes the bad news. Two days after surgery, my mother passed away. So I have to travel now for the funeral and stay on top of everything while traveling. Wish me luck.
