Hurts to sit (but I guess thats a good thing!)
I am on my way to 10,000 steps today! (I have a fitbit... LOVE my fitbit!) Only 1,500 left to get to 10,000.
I am slightly shocked... but walking is more comfortable than sitting. My incisions seem to feel really sore when I am sitting and resting. Now I NEED to still rest... I am not even a week post-op just yet and I need my rest. However, I guess it is a good thing that being active hurts less than being inactive.
Anyone else have this issue? Where sitting hurts more than walking around?

I didn't have that issue with the sleeve but had another abdominal surgery and it was such a pain. I had to lie down, couldn't sit. I had to cancel hair appts because I couldn't sit long enough. Friends came over with lunch and I had to stand while we ate. It took a few weeks but it was different surgery and might be quicker for you.. Good luck!
I have had abdominal surgeries before and never had this before... BUT my incisions were lower (it was from a hysterectomy). I think it might hurt less if I had a binder or something for my stomach. I bought those "trendy top" things... but its too big! lol It didnt work like I need. I am thinking of going to a maternity store to get one because I know those work pretty well. lol I think its too soon to use spanks or anything like that.

I am sure the binder would be WONDERFUL... I was hoping I still had my old binders from my pregnancy... but nope. I wouldnt even know where to buy those.
