Hello my beautiful TT sisters,
Today is POST day 3, so here is a full update on me. I have not gone to the bathroom for a BM since before surgery and I havent taken a colace, just because Ive been scared of having the neasea feeling. But I decided to take it about an hour ago. I try to walk around the house as much as I can when I have to go to the bathroom or just to do so. Most of the time its kind of hard for me to get out of bed (my husband usually helps me) but I've been trying my best to do it myself. Today is my first day staying by myself as he will be going back to work today. MNB4784 you asked for pics of different angles so I took these. I absolutely love how low the scar is. I would have never thought I would look like this! Im so excited!

Hi yoga---how are you doing? How is the higher boob thing? is it going down? what did the PS say/do? i am doing good---still swelling up and down. The love handles that seem to move are due to swelling--whew! i was havin a meltdown! I will post some new pics soon. i feel pretty great and went to dinner in a red dress and actually turned a few heads! wow...that hasnt happend in 25 years! my brain is slow to catch up to the mirror....i wake up and still expect the tummy bulge to be there. so weird! It feels good to feel good. I have 5 herniated discs and without the big bulge it seems to have helped my back too! bonus for sure! keep me posted on your BL/BA...thinking of you and all the TT ladies. Peace and Hugs to ALL!

oohh more pics. its looking good! wow you have to tubes on the side. I am suprised i thought it would be one tube thought it would be like coming out of the crotch area. Omg i can imagine that feeling i will have taking them out of my body. i can imagine cause when i had bariatric surgery and they took the tube out that feeling freaked me out so bad.

Hi ladies today I slept most of the day but try to get up n walk around the house at least 5 - 6 times. I wanna thank you guys so much for your support, it really means a lot to me how you girls have been keeping up with my progress. The drains come out Monday so in pretty excited about that. I've been trying to stand up straight as much as possible. Eating nothing but chia seeds (which my nurse told me is great for weight loss) n chicken salad. Lots of water, coconut water, n dr green juice.

Hi lesslie. I wish ur feeling better today, I have not decided yet, I have a consultation at lenox on july 4, I do like the idea of staying at the hospital for and extra fee , I dont think jocobi does that, and I also like ur results. Keep well girl and keep us up today . Bye.

Hi Cani, I'm doing great I try to walk around the apt as much as I can, I've been drinking lots of water n eating chia seeds which eliminates body fat, n grill chicken salad. I heard pineapple is great for swelling n bruising so I'm gonna much on that today. I can't wait to get the drains out. I noticed that I'm able to stand up straight
Which I feel is great considering the fact I thought it would've taken weeks. But other then that just been resting. When is ur appointment? N with who do you know?

No jacobi sends u home the same day. I choose to stay at the hotel across the street from the clinic because I just wanted my nurse to attend me n she did. N the following morning before u go home the dr comes to check on u, which is great. I wish u luck m I will definitely post some more pics on Monday. ;)
