Day 3- I am feeling much better. I am able to get around pretty good. I can stand up better than yesterday. I went up the stairs at my house this morning.

I have never been so glad to pass gas. Man it feels good! I can feel my stomach deflate every time I poot. I can take out the pain pump and then Im going to take my first shower and really check out the work. I'm nervous....

Day 2- I am able to get around the house, but still hunched over. I can feel the tt incision pulling when I stand. I am taking percocet every 3-4 hours. Today my back lipo sites are hurting the most. Breasts are more tender than yesterday. I slept for 5.5 hours at once last night, I was glad about that. My 4 year old is a little scared of me with the drain tubes and barely getting around. I told him to ask me any questions.

Ouch, i feel like i have been run over by a truck and done five million sit ups. I have some serious bruising from the lipo. I am very swollen. I put on a bra after taking off the ace bandage and had to find my extender thingy to hook it. I cannot get out of bed without assistance, nor can i stand up right. Once I am up I can move about ok. I have had very little dizziness nor nausea. My breasts look great, but are really hard. I have one long incision not the anchor on each. They are really bruised. When ever I stand blood leaks out from the drain tube sites. My binder is bloody on one side at the tt incision site. The pain pump is a bit of a hassle. I have not looked at the tt work yet. The dr took 6lbs off from the tt and 6 lbs off the back hip and love handles from the lipo. I cant wait to get back to normal. When will I be able to stand up straight?

Nice work losing the 55 pounds! That's quite an accomplishment. I hope you're on your way to healing nicely without too much discomfort. You might want to check out Kimmers' Month-by-Month Post Tummy Tuck Diary. It'll help you know what to expect.

Please come back and let us know how you're doing!

Hey, just so you know that actually was smart of you to do it all at the same time. Because I'm having my breasts done in a separate surgery date ( anesthesia/etc costs) my TT, breasts, lipo is costing a total of 16,000. I should have done it together and saved some $ and recoup time.
