Tightness/ uncomfotable

I am just 6 days post-op and am so uncomfortable. The tightness in my stomach is terrible. I have been walking every day. When does this feeling go away?

Everyone is different, but each day will get better. Keep walking and sipping resting and take ur pain meds on time. Congrats and hang in there!! ;)

I started feeling better about a week to a week and a half out. Like Elle said, each day got a little better. Keep moving and make sure to get your fluids & protein in.

I am forcing myself to walk but it is so hard when my stomach is so tight. It almost seems walking makes it worse. Laying down all stretched out seems to be the only real relief.
