Tummy Tuck Scheduled for July 23rd. So Nervous and Scared.

I am feeling so much better. Today is day 15 after the TT and my blues are starting to lift. My drain was taken off yesterday and today I was able to take a shower free of the drains. It felt so good taking a shower without all that stuff attached. My swelling is going down each day. Drinking lots and lots of water. I am going to continue wearing the belly brace during work hours for the next few weeks(even though I don't have too) since it does help with the swelling. Today I even laid outside to get some sun. I had my bikini top on but wore my sweat shorts since I did not want my scars or majority of my belly area to exposed to the sun. I was pretty impressed with how I looked. I couldn't believe it! I can not believe how flat I am and this is even with some swelling!! I wish I had "before" photos but will take some "now" photos shortly. I am heading back to the gym on Monday but will work closely with my trainer to work my arms and legs without using the abs. I am so glad that I went with the TT instead of Smart Lipo. I only was going to do the Smart Lipo because of the quick recovery, but the delay recovery of a TT (and all the yuckiness that went with it) was so much more worth it. Hopefully it only gets better from here.

OMG!! Can't take the drain anymore. This Friday is another check up and day 14 after the surgery. I am hoping this drain comes out. It is becoming very uncomfortable. I can't believe I had the TT two weeks ago!! Time flies. Now I want to get smart lipo on my buttocks and thighs, but better wait a bit...LOL. Anyway, I have been feeling really down and I am assuming it is the post operative blues since seeing some of the results but still wearing the belly brace 24/7 and have a drain still connected. I feel so restricted with this drain. I am hoping my spirts will lift by next week if finally freed from the drain. Has anyone else gone through the blues after their tummy tuck?

Okay I had my surgery over a week ago and have one drain removed and the next one removed on Friday. I did go back to work last Wednesday and big mistake. I decided to stay home for the rest of the week but half to go back tomorrow (Monday). I can totally see a difference with my stomach. I wish I would of liposuction the side where my butt starts. I can't wait for the second drain to come out. It has not been that easy for the past week. Pain has gotten so much better but just really swollen. I am so anxious to see the results so hopefully soon.
