I had surgery on 3/21 left hospital on 3/22; have been able to be up and around worked all the gas out have taken no pain medicine, tolerating my liquids cautiously, got on scales this afternoon and it shows I have actually gained 1.5 lbs; so BUMMED but my stomach is still pretty swollen..... Is this normal?

I had surgery on same day as you and went home next day. I had little to no pain gas was constant I think that was worst part. Then I got mild pneumonia which did not help. I have abdominal swelling as well feels slightly firm. My biggest problem is the emotional side not being able to chew food. I thought I was prepared but not even close. And trying to get my protein and fluids in. It feels like a job.
