Well tomorrow marks 3 weeks since my TT.
I feel great except I itch like crazy around my scar. I have these little red bumps around my scar and down around my pubes and its driving me nuts. Has anyone else had these?
I posted some updated photos.

Congratulations on your rockin tummy!!! You look great!! It's been very encouraging to follow your recovery and post-op experience. I'll be 2 weeks away from bikini land on Thursday, and I am so ready! We finally have some beautiful sunshine here and I'm so excited to have my TT behind me! One question- how long were you walking bent over?

Thanks so much. I walked bent over for the first 4 days and then after that I was fine. However I swore for those 4 days that I was never going to be able to stand straight again :D

OMG your before and after pics are SO amazing! I'm totally going to do that side by side comparison when I get mine end of next week. You look great - good for you!
Can you tell me the comparison of pain in healing from your TT and healing from your c sections? One worse than the other? Or are they similar? thanks!

Hello Daniela don't worry you will be just fine. I had my tt a year ago in March and my breast lift this year in March. The pain from my tt wasn't as bad as I thought is was gona be. Thank GOD. But I had a C section in 2007 and I would say they are alike but the tummy tuck has that tight feeling like if you stand strait you could rip your stiches out. But just take your time. I walked around like a ninety year old for about two weeks. You will be so happy with your results. No more looking like you have a muffin top in your jeans or being shy around your hunny naked!!!!!!!!! Say a prayer for yourself before surgery and just know that you will be feeling like a new woman soon. Good luck!

First day back at work. I must admit I'm pretty tired and its not even 5 pm. I feel fine otherwise besides the swelling that makes me look rather puffy in the middle.
I was getting used to sleeping in till 10 am :) and having my husband do everything with the 3 kids. Back to reality.

Hello! Sounds like you and I are in the same boat with recovery. I'm having a really easy recovery myself. I felt great after day 3 and was driving already by day 5. I'm wish recovery was this easy for everyone as I've read so many horror stories on here. Happy healing and enjoy your new body!

I'm feeling great. Today I didn't wear my compression garment to work and that felt a little odd and I could tell it made me a little sore but other than that I feel great.

Ok I know this sounds REALLY stupid and I'm beginning to think that something can't be right but I feel GREAT! and I have since day 5 post op. My swelling isn't too bad and I am not tired.
I am on day 8 post op and am wondering if anyone else has felt good this early on or am I just a total freak!?! Granted I go back to work next week so I know I will probably be laughing at this post next week when I am dying. :)

I am now two weeks post op and last night was my first night of pain and discomfort. I admit I over did it yesterday cleaning carefully! I felt so good when I woke up. Well last night it hit me like a BRICK=-O. Wow my tummy was spasms, and I felt bloated. I am a few days late for my menstral cycle. And I know Im not PREGO. I had a tubal. I know my body has been threw it. I am taking it real easy today. Anyone else feel like this at that time of the month?
What compression garment are you wearing? I have one of those tank ones, but I think I need to switch to something else.
I wear the compression garment that was given to me on the day of the procedure. Its nothing fancy at all and just wraps around my waist. I also bought a pair of spanx like garments at Target that work great. They are called high waist briefs and come right under the bra line ($16) and that sucker is so tight.
When I am at work I don't wear any garment but I still wear either one of those at night when I get home and am playing with my 3 kids.
Hang in there...It will get better, I promise!
