20 lbs gain?

This is my first week back to work, I'm working my 12 hour shift at the hospital.. I have notice around 4 pm my stomach swell to a 4 month pregnancy size.  I go home and  apply the binders and all the support that I have to get the swelling down before morning .  Still can't fit in my uniforms because of isolated swelling in the hip and thigh area.  I'm still happy with the surgery.

Welcome to swell hell.  The smartest thing to do is sit in your recliner with your legs propped up and get someone to get a drink of water and something to eat.  Rest is important right now.  It all gets better.
