21 Days Post Op TT - Canada

TT,MR,hernia repair & lipo on my love handles....

  • 22 Feb 2012

TT,MR,hernia repair & lipo on my love handles. I have 3 boys and they did a job on my tummy. I work out 5 times a week running, spin,bootcamp & kickboxing. I am 5,4 and 160lbs. I have wanted a TT for 6 years and started saving 3 years ago. The pain is not as bad as i thought. This has been very emotional for me. We first thought my bb was dying then i had a pain in my leg so i had to be checked for a blood clot. Everything turned out ok thank god. But i still have a lump on my upper left side. I have had it since day one. First thought it was from the hernia but now my ps thinks it's my musle. So i have to rub it and hope it go's down. It is sore and feels bruised. I hope it go's soon.I am doing a lot better working around the house, driving and getting out. I do need a nap but i think it is because i am not sleeping that well yet. Sleeping on my back is driving me crazy I may try sleeping on my side soon.

Went to spin class yesterday and felt ok. But today my upper tummy was sore. I will not be doing that again any time soon. My twins have been giving me a hard time this past week and i am working again with all the house stuff on top of that. Today has been melt down day for me:( I think i have cryed 4 times today and even in front of my 3 kids. I also have been getting these shotting pains in my tummy and man they hurt. When i feel like this all i want to do is eat, drink and smoke. All the things that are bad for you.LOL Here hoping tomorrows a better day:)

Mr1972 I am with u on that. I told my friend I feel like a fat slob I just would like to feel like myself again.
MR1972 23 Feb 2012
My first day back to work today. I am 9 days post-op. I feel pretty good pain wise, but am I the only one who feels pregnant after my TT? With my compression garment on I swear my belly is round and still has folds in it! URGH. I know I should be more patient, but DANG!
newmomat37 24 Feb 2012
Oh yes...feeling the same way and scared the little pooch, although much smaller than what was there, won't ever go away.
Bellanocha 23 Feb 2012
Wow!! Looking GOOD Georgetown!! :)
MR1972 23 Feb 2012
You look WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
Georgetown1 23 Feb 2012
Thanks lady's. I am a little nervous of how high my scar is on the sides. My ps was a little concerned about my bb because it looked a little dusky. So that could mean necrotic.I did have a large hernia repair. But in end it turned out:)
Bejewelme 23 Feb 2012
WOW I think each pic is showing vast improvement your 19 day looks awesome! I appreciate you posting that first day pic so we know what to expect, it is not all pretty right away! It takes the bod a few days to start healing, I would be very pleased with how you are looking!
