belly requires own zip code

I know ya'll are laughing, but I am NOT kidding. LOL
This thing has taken on a life of its own. It is huge at least a six months pregnant belly, and it shows no sign of going anywhere.
Honestly what the heck am I gonna do. In the meantime, my co-workers, who have surely lost their minds in my absence keep telling me I look like I lost weight. WHAT???? CAN you not see belly the size of
Cleveland, (No offense to any Cleveland sisters out there).
Ah well had to vent.

Hugs to all

It's a good thing the weather s cooler! Imagine if it were summer!

Those organs were all pushed and pulled and lifted and shoved around.
It is going to get better. i have a feeling that this is going to be your turning point.

Stay regular with BM's that really helps with the pressure and gas.

Your probably ready for some nice walks now, taht will help too!

Good Luck and keep posting, VENT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I went back to work Monday, and today is 2 weeks post-LSH. I don't feel bad, but seem to grow in girth as the day goes on. Monday I wore khakis, and spent most of the early day pulling them up because they were too loose. By the time I got home, they were tight. Yesterday and today I wore my stretchy pants, and am ready to declare them my new best friends. It's not pretty. YEESH!

I've been wearing the high cut style panties (bikini's rub my incision), & my belly actually sticks out the bottom! (ok, I did have a "bread dough" belly beforehand).....but not THAT bad! Can you just imagine how cute that looks!
DH says...yeah, you're definately swollen

I keep blaming the fact that my pants don't fit right on the swelly belly. Actually, I think it is the all the food that I cannot stop eating that is causing my pants to be tight. I laughed when I read this post. I am at my highest weight ever yet whenever I see someone from work, they say, "Oh, you have lost so much weight" I just laugh. I think they thought I was going out for a gastric bypass instead of a hysterectomy.. Jokes on them!
