Quick Update for 2weeks POST OP

Hey everyone!

So i am 2 weeks Post op from open uterine myomectomy. They removed 2 7cm (orange size) fibroids & a 10.5cm fibroid (grapefruit size).

(Please refer to previous post for back story)

my stomach is still a bit swollen, but my stomach is no longer distended ! My abdomen is now soft to the touch ( it’s was hard as a rock before).

I am moving around a lot more & in NO pain except when getting up from bed ( or if i overestimate myself & do more than i should)

My incision looks ok, they used glue instead of sutures, which is what my incision looks like ( like glued together skin)

I am eating & drinking as normal ! At first i was extremely out of breath just walking to the bathroom. Showering was painful & tiring, where i had to have somebody wash my body for me. Getting in out and out of bed was so hard the first week home. I am now showering on my own and able to breathe lol.

The only thing that hasn’t gotten better is sleeping. I am super uncomfortable as trying to sleep on my side is painful and sleeping on my back is also painful. I have a hard time getting comfortable and have to use all 4 pillows and two folded blankets in order to have some comfort.

Also, i lost 10 pounds since the surgery. ( not so excited about that, I want my 10Ibs back lol)

I cannot do any lifting above 15Ibs yet and haven’t started driving again yet. My next follow up appointment is in a month !
