Harper, I'm sorry to hear that things are not healing as well as you've hoped. But don't worry, things will get better just give it a little more time. I didn't see much improvement and didn't turn the corner until week 5 and then things got progressively better each week. The pea sized thing that was protruding started shrinking as well. You still have alot of swelling and it will just take time. Be sure to keep up with a healthy balanced diet and go for walks if you can. When is your first post op appointment?
I'm at 8 weeks post op and feels great. I went for a 5 mile run three times in the past week and felt amazing, I was very surprised that I was in somewhat decent shape. I'm still staying away from alcohol and fried foods, but I am eating everything else. I'm not afraid to eat ice cream and desserts any more.
