TT - Day 25 - Post Op

I notice that by the end of the day “swell hell” is in full force.  In the AM it’s slightly swollen in the abdominal area but not too bad yet but by the PM, it’s much worse. 

I've been trying to avoid sodium to help minimize that of the swelling that I can control. Sitting flexed (not that there’s any other way to sit) each day for about 10 hours a day (the 8 hours at work plus the hour drive home each way) I don’t think helps much.  Not only that, after sitting for such an extended amount of time, I notice the mid-section is tighter and it takes me a bit longer to extend my body to walk more upright.   

I’m taking mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks to escape to the car, recline the seat and extend my torso for 15 minutes or so.  I find it helps.
 

I’m still amazed at the flatness where once an excess of skin hung.   I’ll walk by the mirror and reverse my steps to walk by again, still in awe of the new tummy.
