recovering from my drainless TT, BR and Lipo on my flanks - 3 months post op

I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long, life just got in the way I guess. Well, I over indulged over Thanksgiving through to Christmas and put on several pounds, that really got me down and I am right back into my healthy eating and exercising again. I will not spend all this money on my Mummy Makeover to then go and put weight on! I can't believe that I am 3 months post op already time honestly flies. Mostly I am feeling GREAT - I workout out the gym several times a week and I have started a weekly dance class, we also ski on the weekends but I haven't done anything with my abs as it feels uncomfortable and weird. I wear my spanx only sometimes - if I am feeling swollen or if my stomach is sore. I never sleep with them anymore. I can comfortably wear skinny jeans all day. By the evening I do get swollen and my stomach is still "painful" to touch - not major pain but I don't like touching it. I still don't like lying on my stomach :( Wondering when I will be able to do this because I want to get a massage! I am happy with my breasts, mostly. I think I would have liked them a little smaller but I am sure my doc had a reason for making them the size that they are - I have a wide ribcage so maybe that's why? I will talk to him at my next appointment. The shape of them is great but I would have liked them a little smaller. A few weeks ago my right breast starting spitting stitches, I think - I never saw any stitches but my incision got little red dots on it and then slightly scabbed over, hope it all heals nicely. So, my plan is tomorrow to take some updated pics -I hope I remember!! Hope you are all well :)

Hi Ladies, I just got back from PS. 3 weeks PO today. I went in so he could look at my bright red breast and check out where the incision has opened where the vertical meets the horizontal incision. He is positive the red is from the tape (it is a perfect rectangle) so I can stop the antibiotics and have some benedryl tonight. Re the incision opening - not an infection (yay) and totally not uncommon because this area has the highest amount of tension. He says it will scab over and heal when it is ready in the meantime put abit of ointment on it and gauze. The funniest part? He said I could start massaging my breasts and I was like, "Oh? I didn't realise I had to" and asked him to show me how so he demonstrated and realised at that point that I don't have implants!!! Up until then he thought I did because my breasts have such a nice shape (not being big headed - his work, not mine!!). So we had a good laugh about that. Tummy Tuck incision is great and I am cleared to put body lotion on it. He said scar treatment doesn't change the end result, it just gets you there quicker so he recommends us to save your money. I will use bio oil. I am also okay to start light exercise, no core work and nothing too strenuous. Don't have to see him until January unless I want to come in earlier. He also said my tissue type is "spongy" so my swelling from BB to incision may take a good few months to go down........oh well....

I feel crap today, not physically but mentally. I texted pictures of my now RED incision opening to the nurse because I couldn't go in today she called back and thinks that the redness looks like a reaction to the tape (it is rectangular in shape)not an infection but she wants me to go on antibiotics today ahead of tomorrow's appointment just in case. So tomorrow I have to drag the kids to see my PS with me :(
