I had a full tt with muscle repair, Lipo of lower flanks and fat grafting. I'm 4 days post-op and only needed vicoden the first 2 days. I was feeling really sick from the meds so my PS had me stop and switch to Tylenol. I feel much better with the Tylenol. I can get in and out of bed by myself. I still have drains. Not too much draining about 25 cc's every 6 hours. Now I'm just BORED. Good luck!
Added my before picture as well as the 3 days post...

You should see me today....I had a kick boxing class last night and took a foot to the side of the face. The poor woman next to me was a little challenged and kicked the wrong direction. Geez I got a black cheek bone and no fault of my own! LOL
As long as you are not like me it is safe to wear heels!! I fall up the stairs, down the stairs, over air, over cracks in the round...my hubby calls me "Tumbleweed". Guess I wasn't born with a gravity gene.
Seriously though you can wear them but your feet and legs may swell the first week. I did ok at 3 1/2 weeks post OP in heels but did have some leg swelling and got darn tired quick.
Falling would be bad news!!
It sounds like you had a great day! That is wonderful you were able to wear your jeans and be comfortable. WOOT WOOT!
I can't wait to see the new pics next week! So exciting :)
Rest, rest, rest. I call my flannel jammies my Mrs. Ropers. Remember her???
I must be a sicko then...I kept watching the darn videos and was totally engaged!
Yeah I don't think I would ever want to be up to my elbows in blood and guts but watching does not bother me.
Last night I ended going to the ER. I suddenly developed this numbing and tightening feeling on the left side of my face. Even my teeth felt wierd. Needless to say I freaked out! I thought I was getting bellspalsy. And I just kept thinking OMG not now not after all of this. Well they rules out stroke as well as bellspalsy. The dr said it was probably a combination of stress, anxiety and TMJ. He gave me Xanax and anti-inflammatory meds. He also assured me it had nothing to do with the surgery. I'm feeling better today and Xanax is my new friend. :)
I had something similar happened: on day 3 I started feeling pinfull tightening and swelling in my arms, to the point where it hurt more than the drains and cut it self.I asked the Doctor and he switched my anibiotics thinking maybe I had a reaction. it did not improve and on day 5 my husband actually had to give me ice massages over both arms. Day 6 I went to see my family doctor who said that this is a post traumatic reaction to the surgery and gave me xanax as weel. I am happy to report the arms improved 2 3 days later, every now and then I get a faint tention there but no swelling or pain, can our body bring on such reactions to surgery???
When you really think about it (which I try not to do) our bodies really went through some wild shit. When I watched the animated version of a tummy tuck I almost fainted! All that cutting and peeling back and sewing. Yikes! It makes sense that our bodies would react in strange ways.
Glad you are doing better- are you okay San Fernando?
It's the swelling!!! Swell Hell....darn it. Unfortunately this lasts for a while so hang on. Are you drinking enough water? That helps a bit..
Please do not try on your clothes right now because this will only frustrate you more. The first month is not great for feeling slim but know it will get better but takes time.
Your belly looked so much like mine- that shriveled area around the belly button. Good Riddance!!
Did you get your breasts done as well?
