19 days post op...had upper lipo and love handles....
19 days post op...had upper lipo and love handles. The incision is sore....it hurts more than the actual tummy tuck. I am not taking pain meds and wondering if I should be. The pain travels from incision to incision and then sometimes to the actual suture. IT might me the miserable weather and my attitute lately has been very BLAH.
There are some considerations that I did knwo about before the surgery. The pain doesnt go away after 2 or 3 or 4 weeks. There are still alot of limitations, not being able to bend and do laundry, in and out of car without holding ot the steering wheel, bringing groceries up the stairs, sleeping side ways- that's been a big one, not being able to shave your legs and walking around like an old lady without a walker.. although I dont have muffing top- I look ridiculous walkign around like half of me is falling over. I still wear the white band around my new waist. NOW due to lack of activity MY thighs look flabby and HUGE. My arms look flabby as well. I cannot lift any weights nor do any exercises as of yet. If someone out there knows of any exervise that dont compromise the surgery, please let me know. Like I said, I dont have a muffin top, but NOW the rest of my body is looking out of sorts...NOT HAPPY!!!
Am going to see my PS Wednesday for a lymph drainage massage.
Also, I almost forgot, should I take off the paper tape that the ps put on my sutures. He did mention that this will fall out by itself, am wondering if it should have fallen off by now.
Overall not having a good time this past week. Watching way too much TV and not feeling like doing much due to pain.

16 days post tt and lipo. Had my drain removed...
16 days post tt and lipo. Had my drain removed yesterday and the doc said I was going to feel better. I thought it was a good idea to go back to work....I WAS WRONG!!! Going to school and being around kids was bad a idea....too much movement around me and it's unbelievable how much it hurts when I sit, move and stnd up again..and talk loud so that the kids can hear me...not worth the pain.
I am walking hunched over and on my tippy toes. I feel some pain but enough to take narcotics.
I am feeling a bit depressed. I also dont like taking the wrap off. I feel gross. The skin is still numb and some spots are hard. Belly button is there...I am not sure what it's supposed to look like...this whole thing is gross. I dotn want to touch my abdomen, it feels fake. I hope feel better.
The aftermath of this surgery is no JOKE. You've got to have the right frame of mind and be ready to have people to support you. I feel lonely, since only my husband and best friend knows. My mother calls me and I've been lying. And my two girlies are scared and they've gotten mad at me for feeling and looking so bad. ALL i would liket to let you know, be prepared to the post stuff. It's amazing how much we take care of and how much our children depend on us.

I am a week out of surgery. I feel horribly...
I am a week out of surgery. I feel horribly depressed today. I am not sure why, but my level of activity has been minimal. I get easily stressed out and easily irrirated.
Spoke to the doctor about it and he said that it's the pain medication effects.......okay!!!
I also got my period, that could be it as well.
I havent taken a shower yet, hair is getting smelly and oily. I am not sure what else to do other than wait. I see the doctor again on Friday to hoepfully take out the drain.
My belly button has been hurting ALOT. I am not sure if this is normal or not but I feel it hurting alot...maybe that's why babies cry so much when they are borth....OUCH!!!
