Here are the latest pics of the tummy tuck incision and breasts
Losing weight?!
Woohoo reached 116 lbs I weighed myself this morning. I know I haven't been doing the cleanest eating so it must be that I am able to be more active in walking now and moving around without mostly anything holding me back. I would LOVE to get back down to about 110...skinny but still have some meat on the bones ;)
Almost pain free :)
Thought I would give an update it's been a while:
Almost completely off pain killers; just an occasional norco or ibuprofin if I get sore by the end of the day. Boobs are about 95% healed on the right and 85% on the left. Still are sore if I try and move them around with my hands in different positions-mostly lifting them up (makes me scared to try a push up bra this soon). I still have puffy ends on my tummy tuck incision I'm hoping it's just swelling still has anyone dealt with this?? I don't want to go through a revision that would suck. The incision itself is healing very well. The center of it was very hard out of surgery and it's starting to soften up and smooth out where it was thicker on top. It looked like an overhang of hard/thick skin above the incision I was wondering if it was permanently going to stay like that I haven't seen other people with it. The puckered parts are really starting to smooth out a lot now I'm very happy about that. At times the muscle below the boobs feels really tight especially if i was sitting for a while it tightens up and is sore when I stand...still in the process of stretching the tight muscles out I guess. Slowly but surely getting there. That is when I'll take some ibuprofin if it is bothering me a lot. I can't wait to start exercising I feel lazy. Oh, I thought I would be in smaller jeans, but nope. If anything, my jeans I wore before surgery are too tight :( don't know if it's from the puffy parts of my incision making them not fit or what. I haven't gained any weight so it's a little depressing. I mean I can fit them on but can't button them. On the bright side I can bend around in different positions easier than a few weeks ago and am able to take care of my 11 month old and 3 yr old more :) Some parts of my boobs and stomach are still numb too. I thought my boobs were huge in proportion to my body but now I think I'm getting used to the size and feel comfortable with the size. I am most comfortable in sports bras I wear them 99% of the time if I have to wear a bra. The surgical bra feels tight and I don't like it at all. I can tolerate probably 3 hours in it and then I want it off! I don't see the doc until early November so I'm praying everything will be healed nicely by then.
