I have not been able to lose the pouch above the C-Section Scar , I had my surgery Friday and went fo a follow up today, this has actually been better than I expected, I had worked myself up so terribly ,Dr Heck said I needed to rest and have been moving around too much .

up and down emotions, be sure you take all the help that is offered to you , if you are someone who hates to ask for help, DO IT ANYWAY, the company and help will not only help from a physical stand point but also emotional . It is easy when you are not feeling well to let your mind run wild , we are not crazy , it is worth it and we will feel sooo good about ourselves

Day 6 ~ Taking shape
Everything is taking shape, and my mental state is feeling alittle back to normal , you know how that feels right ? when reality sets in to the world going on out there as I have been indulging in my new found FLAT , CUTE belly ! makes me think of the movie National Lampoon Christmas Vacation,, when the Gal ( in Chevy Chase dreams , is on the diving board) well that will be ME , except i have short hair, short torso but my belly will be FLAT ! I am calling the doctor today , my pain meds make me really jittery , and I really only need 1-2 a day so that is good, but... I also need SLEEP, sleep makes everything better. I am searching for ideas on how to shower without effecting my drain tubes or incision, Who has any great ideas ? I plan to post pictures today !

For showers I wear a narrow waterproof belt around my waist to hang the drain on. Another option is to wear a long necklace/key holder around your neck and hook the drain to it. I was able to (and given permission by the surgeon) to have a shower 72 hours post op so I say, cheat and do it and you're gonna feel like a new woman as much as you're looking like a new woman! There are lots of meds for pain that leave a person feeling jittery, hyper, or hungover. Anything with codeine will do that for me. The med I was given post op made me nauseous and hungover so I decided to usen some other stuff instead. I told the doc and he was totally on board with it. ( I know my drugs). Happy showering and happy healing!

Hey ! I now have had 2 showers , and feel great , I used a trash bag and a belt , my daughter uses a medical chair in the shower and a hand held , so I showered in her room . WOW what a difference it makes :)

Yup!!! No doubt!!! We are so lucky in this Western world to have the luxury of hot, running water! Definitely one of those things to be VERY grateful for! I wore a long camisole underneath my CG but I've decided that I'm done using it now and will use only use my flexees, which offer a little bit of compression. It feels a little tight at the very top but is otherwise quite comfortable. I don't wear anything at night. Much more comfortable without any kind of compression!
