Does anyone else look/feel pregnant at the end of the day?

Geez, my upper abd swells up so bad some days.

Not the lower part. Only above the umbilicus.

Probably not helped by the fact that I sit at my job all day.
But if I eat sort of a big meal, it is even worse.

But wow, sometimes it gets bad.
It is round and hard.
Blech.
Garments help but still noticeable.

When I wake up in the mornings...back to being flat.
:::sigh:::

I have my preop appt scheduled for next week (breast and arms). I will ask about it but I already know what he is gonna say.

Anyone else sharing in my tale of woe??

Same here, except mine swells in the lower abdomen. I love love love my flat belly in the morning, but by the end of the day, not so much.

No real tummy swelling, but my mons swelling is driving me crazy. Never good to have a package bigger than most guys!!!

Hope we all unpuff soon!!

YEA!!!!  I get the same thing!  At first I thought it was gas, so I eliminated all carbonated beverages, still happens!  Always begins after lunch, and I'm not overeating but that's what it feels like!  It's very uncomfortable!  Let me know what the Doctor tells you.  I'm going next Friday the 18th & was going to ask them then.  At first I thought it was swelling from the surgery (& still may be), who knows.  I just know it didn't do this before surgery.   Hmmmm......
