Let me start by saying that I'm a 29 yr old mother of 4(12,8,6 & 2).I've wanted to have a TT for awhile now. Very nervous about having any kind of surgery...even though I have had 3 c-sections.

Congrats! I am so excited for you! I am from the Quad Cities born and raised and moved to Omaha 5 yrs ago! I am 1 week 1 day post op today and so far no regrets! the only "issue" I have is that I have never had surgery/csection and I am not used to the numb belly still getting used to that lol!
I have my 3rd f/u appt today and hope to get my 2nd drain out and be drain free! (the drains are really annoying in my opinion)
I personally didn't feel like eating solid foods for almost 4-5 days so I did
day 1-2....jello, crackers, and applesauce
day 3-5....same as above, pudding, lots of oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and fresh fruit
Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you! Congrats to you too! I hope that everything continues to go smooth for you.I can't wait until I'm on the road to recovery.Thanks for the tips on the diet.Are you taking any vitamins? If so did you start before or after the surgery ?

For 2 to 3 days I ate tons of Stonyfield Vanilla yogurt. Yum, yum!! For some reason, this was one of the only things I felt like eating. Also, lots of fruits and juice and protein shake.
Now you are in my neck of the woods..another Midwest Girl!!!
You will have fabulous results with a nice flat tummy! Your procedure is almost one year to the day of mine:)
Make sure that you have plenty of help with the kids for the first 2-4 weeks. You are going to need to be resting all you can. No housework or lifting anything for a while...sorry I sound like such a mother hen. But having 4 children I know you are busy.
Keep us up to date and let us know how you are doing.
