When does the tummy swelling start subsiding?

Hello All, I've missed you. Open rny was on 12/2. Pain a bit more than I expected. Turns out my body is resistant to pain meds! I realize many opens probably feel as if their "guts" were going to just spill out. Probably pretty normal. My question is that my abdomen is really swollen--I look somewhat pregnant. Even with the binder on when I walk around the house, I tend to hold my tummy to keep it from jostling like a bowl full of sugar free jelly! It's quite a bit bigger now than before. When does this swelling and the awful soreness begin easing somewhat? (I'm not complaining, just curious!) Thanks!
