That is no lie it is the hardest thing I have ever done I am 15 days post op and I am having the hardest time because the restriction I had is gone til my first fill still two weeks away. 4 days post op I was doing everything as instructed not as much as I should now .walking as much as possible right now try and sleep as much as possible with a heating pad on your stomach it helps a lot. Hope this helped have a good night I am off to bed tired lol ...
