Today I had a 9 days PO appt with PS. He said everything is healing great and I agree, I totally love the results so far. I graduated to my zip up sports bra (Danskin from Walmart). My breasts feel very full and swollen. I have no pain at my TT incision, just a tightness/soreness if I'm up and about for longer than a few mins. I'm walking soooo close to upright and have no trouble getting in and out of bed/chairs/car. I drove myself to the grocery store last night and it felt so great. I am a very active person so the cabin fever was about killing me. Tonight I made stuffed shells for dinner and apple crisp for dessert- I stood the whole time and didn't get too sore or swollen. I've had help with my kiddos everyday since I still can't lift the twins for diaper changes or into their cribs. A huge milestone for me is that it doesn't hurt to laugh anymore. I have a very funny husband and 3 goofy kids so we laugh a lot here and it burned those 1st few days! I got my stitches and one of my drains out today. I don't even notice my right drain but my left was always rubbing against my pants or CG and was sore. I was so happy that it was the left to come out. It hurt like heck- everyone is right bu

You look FABULOUS! What size and profile implants did you go with? My surgery is on Valentine's Day and I am stressing over the implants....especially the profile.

450 silicone under the muscle. I didn't ask anything about profile. I showed him a picture that I liked and just took my PS's recommendation :)

What plastic surgeon did you choose?

clearly you likely aren't on here anymore, BUT looking at your preop photos...it was like looking in a mirror! so far i would have to say that your belly is most like mine. I have my appointment for a full tummy tuck in a months' time and am pretty stoked to read your profile and see your results. Hopefully thing have continued on well for you! cheers!

Today my TT pain was pretty minimal, except for at the drain sites, which are sore. I know that I get one drain out on Thursday and I really hope it's the left one. It is rubbing against the zipper on my CG so I put a ton on gauze on top of it. My implants got so hard, like just in the last 24 hours. I've started doing a bit of massage on them but I'm not sure it will do much this early.

Hope your healing well. I'm po 5 days. I got a bl w/o implants and tummy tuck. Did you do implants? I go for my first po appointment tomorrow , hopefully get these drains removed . What meds are you taking ? Day 1 and 2 were hell! Happy healing. :)

Yes, I do 450 silicone implants with my lift. PO day 3 I started extra strength tylenol and they seem to work just as good as pain pills but no sleepy effects. And yes, I totally agree- days 1 and 2 were 100x worse than I imagined!

4 days PO. This morning I felt the emotional side of the MM that I've read so much on here about. I switched out the painkillers for extra strength tylenol 3 days PO b/c I was sick of the groggy kind of feeling. I'm at the point where I feel good enough to be up and about for a few minutes at a time but not good enough to stay up and about. It's frustrating. Our house is small, so I can hear my kids playing in the living room and I'm dying to be in there playing with them. My husband has been bringing the babies in here to play/cuddle for a few mins which only makes me want them more. My older son will sit with me and watch TV or play his ipod, so it's nice to have that company. Last night I took a side by side pic to try to boost my mood.
