Congrats, @@morningangel79!

I'm 8 days post-op. My tissue removal port is by far the most tender, but worlds away from how it felt a few days ago. Word of advice: do NOT twist your abdomen for several days. I made this mistake getting out of the car on the trip home. It's a natural movement to swivel your feet out of the car door - but YIKES that hurt soooo bad.

Hope you're looking forward to your journey, these first couple weeks may not be easy, though!

Just keep sipping...that is a priority for you right now...to stay hydrated. Sucking on ice might help too. Water can be hard to get down at first. Take small sips and I found taking a deep breath can sometimes relieve that stuck feeling. Mixing a little bit of juice in water made drinking a lot easier for me. What you are going through its normal. Every day will get better. Hang in there!
