New Me....coming Soon! - Florida

Surgery was yesterday, preop at 730, woke up about 1230, home around 2. Pain was pretty bad at home, but was undercontrol by 6. Got up to pee at 7, and hada wave of nausea, but didn't have to throw up. Night went well, slept great in the recliner. Today I had a follow up at the office, and got a little worn out. They changed my dressings and I got a look at everything. My boobs are so high and rock hard. My belly is pretty swollen, so its hard to know anything yet. My scar is low, and there is no vertical incision (I'm very long waisted so a small vertical incision was a possiblity.) I do still have some stretch marks, but they are lower, will probably still stick out of a bikini, but as long as my belly is flat, I can deal. So far I'm happy! My husband is being great, he's so concerned, my mom has been doing most of the care. My kids are being sweet, but the little one seems worried. Hopefully I'll bounce quickly so I can be momma again. Only icing and taking lortab for the pain, hated the dilaudid.
I'll post new pics soon, when I change dressings again.

Post op day 3: Doing pretty good today. I weaned myself off the lortab and vallium and onto Tylenol and motrin. Was doing really well, until a bit of food went down the wrong way caused a coughing fit, OUCH! Still not very hungry, but making sure to eat regularly to keep meds down. Has to poo for the first time today and it wasn't that bad, I've been taking miralax with Apple juice and drinking plenty of other fluids too. Otherwise, I'm just pretty tired and have been napping (and I normally hate napping, I'm very busy and hate sitting still!) I'll work on getting some pictures up tomorow and all my pre op measurements.
