2 week update: Went in to get my stitches...

2 week update:
Went in to get my stitches removed from my belly button today. That part was fine.
Then he asked me if I had fluid. I said no. Then he looked and said - oh yes, you do. I asked how do you know? When your belly feels like a waterbed. Okay - so nice to know that now :) But when he stuck this giant needle in to drain that fluid.....things got a bit woozy. I didn't pass out thank god, but I wasn't feeling the greatest today anyway and add that on top - and whoa. So i did sit and drink some sprite before i left. oh well.
But my scar looks fantastic - will post pics in a day or two.
oh and bonus with a complimentary laser tightening and some lotions to go home with :)

Finished painting the kitchen yesterday! No pain, but I did notice I had a lot more swelling. I guess that comes with more activity.
I about died the other night when my 3 year old came into the bedroom in the middle of the night and jumped on my stomach. Ouch!!! Guess I need to lock my door!

My TT is scheduled for Jan. 19th and I hope my recovery goes as well as yours has. Your an inspiration to us all! Way to go and you look great!
You look excellent!
I also had the needle in the tummy twice checking for fluid and that is not so fun. It didn't hurt going in but once it was in I felt the pinch. Thought I did not watch the needle go in or I would have fainted.
Your swelling will go up and down for weeks but it will get better.
but the swelling is killing me! and i looked on here to see how long it lasts and found it goes on for at least 2 more months.....yuck! i barely fit into my pants to go out to dinner tonight.....the same pants that were falling off of me on monday....lol.
i have to go back in this week and get some more of this fluid off or i'm gonna bust like a balloon!
it's so weird how numb your tummy is and they can stick a needle in like it's nothing and you prolly wouldn't even know if you didn't see it.
I know the swelling is the absolute worst! It torments you one hour at a time :)
When it gets really bad kick your feet up and put some cold packs on the tummy. Not directly on the skin though. What works best is bags of frozen peas and corn....sounds strange but works well. That is the trick I have always used for my hubby and sons hockey injuries. You can just re-freeze them and use all over again. We have a shelf in the freezer marked "Injury" vegetables. Nobody eats those; we only treat injuries with them.
I got so sick of wearing my stretchy Capri workout pants and zip up hoodies that I thought I would vomit....LOL
