I have three small children. My muscles are shot! I had spent so much time being pregnant, I really neglected my workout. So that being said, I really need this.

I will be having a TT, lipo to flanks and thighs and a breast lift with small implant.
SO EXCITED!

Oh my goodness. Only 3 weeks away from my TT and masto/aug. I’m so excited. My plans are already made for all of my childcare and dinners for my family during my post op period are made and in the freezer.

I’ll post a pre op picture before I go. Then some post op pictures during my recover. YEAH!!!

I'm sitting here in my PS office about to my pre op markings done. Wow, it really feels close now! I'm excitedly nervous and nervously excited!

Post op day 1. I made it through surgery fine. I tinkled two hours after my catheter was pulled. I drank 2 12oz gatorades. Felt good. Coughing is horrible. Feels like hell. Went ahead and took a pain pill, sleeping pill and sinecch at bedtime. Slept well. My husband is the best nurse. I got up and tinkled about every 2 1/2 hours. I have 2 drains and an On-Q pain pump. The drains drain about 75 cc every 8 hours right now. I also have the leg sleeves that compress. They feel nice. Well, I'm about to be let go from the surgery center. I'll update again later.

Post op day #1. Not too bad I have 2drains and a pain pump. Got discharged from the surgery center at 1030.

I posted these pictures for post op day 12. I got up and got into “normal” bra and spanx for a grocery store trip. These are the pics when I got home.My breasts are starting to settle down into their right place. The incision is so low, and the BB is so natural and small. It looks like my pre BB.
I am really so pleased how all is looking right now. the best part is that I am not as hunched over as I was 4 days ago.

I adjusted my cosmetic surgery plans. I decided to break my surgeries into two separate dates as I didn’t want to be completely useless to my family. I recently had liposuction on my inner and outer thighs. GREAT results. I wore a size 10 jean before my surgery, today, 18 days post op I am putting on a size 4. I know I have about 4 more months for ALL the swelling to go down. I am tickled pink. I think my surgeon is the greatest and have full confidence in him. Can’t wait for part 2!!

I had breast aug and tummy tuck together, and it has completely taken me away from my four kids! I didn't think it would be that bad, but that is 2 major surgeries at the same time!

Wishing you the best! You will love the new you!

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I have planned it so the kids go back to school 6 days later, the same day my husband goes back to work. I'm excited.

I am two days post op now & I agree its hard on the little ones. My 18m old doesn't understand why he can't sit on my knee & cuddle. We tried yesterday but it was too painful as my hubbie wasn't paying full attention and he smacked me in the boobs. I had a pillow on my lap but I could have done with one on my chest.
I am in our bedroom in a recliner so they all (I have a 7 & a 4 yr old) come in and hang on our bed. Its a little much w all of them but they r so happy 2 b near me. I had the first grader come up & do his homework with me last night & I read books to the 4 yr old afterwards. Giving each one a little time with me alone seems to help & they get to ask all their questions & voice their concerns. It also gives my hubbie a bit of a break. I think they get that I will be stiff & sore for a while but I think as time drags on they may get frustrated as normally I am very active. Any tips from Moms with kids the same age?

8pm post op day one. Feeling a bit tight. You know, not hurting but sore. Like after a really good workout. Peeing good. Ate a little broth earlier. Took a lortab 10 earlier. Big mistake. Nauseated for about 6 hours. I am usually a half of a 5. Won't make that mistake again. Drains are draining pink fluid. I am stripping the tubes and emptying about 20cc from Esc about every 4 hours. Will check in again in the morning.

Sounds like I am having the same, except, I am having my implants taken out and lifting at that time...how are you what size implant did you get?

Post op day 6. I'm feeling good today. I have been up walking around and am starting to walk mostly upright. I don't want to push it, though. I got 350cc moderate profile silicone implants. I like my cleavage. My husband says it looks like I have porn star breasts, but I assure him that it is just surgical swelling and the breast bandages. They dint get taken off until Wednesday. I tell him I will look the same as before, I just won't have to wear a VS triple padded bra.

I can't wait to see your post op pics!

Post op day 8. I went to my post op appointment. One drain got pulled out, yeah. If the other is still draining less than 20 cc in the AM, then it can come out, too. All my dressings came off. I am pretty pleased with how things are looking right now. My breasts are a little swollen, they will settle down within the next few months. My back still is sore because of the hunched over walking. My BB is kind of crusty, but healing well, he told me I can start cleaning it out with sterile saline. So, essentially, I am very happy with the results.

Fantastic results and so QUICK! Awesome.
Cemo 12 Jan 2012
Thanks. I just noticed the sideways pics, you can really see the bruising on my flank and “back fat” area and my underarm. the side of my hip is bruised, too. Although, its not nearly as bad as some of the other ladies’ bruising.
Hummelstown5016 12 Jan 2012
