I wouldn't recommend ice cream yet, I was feeling great (sleeved 11/9/15) and decided I could have a little bit with my son and I seriously paid for it the rest of the evening.. Definitely learned my lesson.
Definitely not worse than a c-section but if you remember how it felt when you would stand up from the sitting or laying position it sorta feels like that for a few days because of your incisions ????
I had mine 11/9 and have been doing pretty good, each day gets better. The first couple days I had a headache but it's been ok since then. I am finding that it's a struggle to get my protein and liquids in (my doc wants 90 ounces liquid and 90 grams of protein)
