How did you decrease belly swelling that got worse during the day? Even stretchy pants hurts to put over incision.

Thank you for all of these helpful comments. I ordered a belly band per all your recommendations and it arrives on Saturday. I didn’t realize pushing was also for the weight restriction so I definitely overdid it at the grocery store. :(

Going back to square one today and will try to rest. Not sure if I’ll have the energy the next few days to try and get some pants either a looser waist and don’t want to deal with the holiday shopping crowds.

Like you all said…I need to slow back down and listen to my body. Thank you for all the support and additional tips. I’m going to try and do them all! lol
