Almost Three Months Since My Surgery - New Pictures!
I am feeling blessed! I did not have the extreme pain that some of my fellow tummy tuckers endured! I have gone from wearing sizes 14-16 to a size 10!! My granddaughter, a college woman in her 20's, commented that I look like I am in my 30's. I'll definitely take that compliment especially since I will turn 67 tomorrow! I want to express my love and appreciation to my amazing husband who was so helpful and nurturing from the beginning; he faithfully applied coconut oil to my surgical scar, massaged the back areas that were liposuctioned (most painful daily part), and helped me hook and zip my garment until I could do it myself! Below are a few pictures; I plan to include some, with clothes on, in the near future.
Hard Day
"Very Hard Day" (pun intended)! Although I'd read of so many having a difficult time going poo, I was not prepared for what I endured! Knowing all the possibilities, I made sure to keep myself hydrated, ate lots of prunes, drank hot coffee, juices, at fresh fruit, and walked! Did any of that make it any easier? NO! I drank MOM (maximum amount allowed), took Colace, took a women's gentle stimulant laxative, and finally, after many hours and countless times of trying to go, I was successful, but not without pain - OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! (at least the pain was not on my TT sutures, BB, nor my lipo areas! As much as I've done to go, I'll probably be sleeping on the toilet tonight!
On Ibuprofen and Arnica Montana only!
Pain is minimal; only need ibuprofen now! I walk with the help of a walker, and have been showering since the day after surgery! All is going well thus far!
