Am I going crazy?

By Gina in california on 28 Jul 2012

Im 2 weeks post op from tummy tuck and breast augmentation and I tell you last night I was ready to lose it. My husband and I sat down this am and we found this forum. I cannot tell you how nice it was to hear all of this discussion. I have gone through all the things people have talked about. I'm always on the verge of tears. I can't stand up, I'm exhausted, my breast hurt, my back hurts, I get muscle spasms at night. I just want to cry. I'm stuck in a body that looks like Frankenstein and I can't get it to work correctly. I see all of your posts and I see that how I'm feeling is normal. I just didn't realize all this was going to happen. I thought yes I would have pain but mostly I would be enjoying my new body. Wow what an emotional roller coaster. We own our own business and I watch my husband having to work hard to make up for my slack. I'm tired , I hurt, I want to cry. My brain tells me this will all pass and it will work out fine but my heart and emotions are freaking out. I guess it's just nice to write my feelings down.

Aww!!! :( hang in there it will get better, we are so indepent women that we can't stand to be helpless and like my husband said when I had my tt he goes "mama I can't wait for you to get better because you are the rock of this house!!" we have a 4 year old son an dlet me tell you it was hard for me just to sit and watch my husband doing most of the stuff in the house, thankfully his mom and mine were a great help plus my best friend who's a nurse would come everyday until I was able to stay home alone ( about 2 wks) don't rush the process please, is frustrating the fact that you are sore every where and can't stand up straight ( I was able to do so until week 4 so don't feel bad!) the key is to do a lot of rest....this site is great and just ask anything and we will try to help you thru....

Hi Gina- I had my MR TT on 6/18/12 and I felt the same way. At one point I cried, I was frustrated and began to regret my tt. I began to stand stright at 5 wks po and still hunch over a bit after a long day. I also feel a pull in my ab area and it annoys me so much that I can't just get up and go. It seems like everyday it gets better, what I have learned through this whole thing is to be patient one thing that I was able to do for 3 wks then frustration kicked in. Yes what a roller coaster ride!! Now I feel bad for my poor husband because he has been amazing with it all and I easily snap then go back to apologize but he understands my frustration- it does get better just hang in there.
