Well it's been one week since my mini tummy tuck. I actually feel pretty good. Never had any real pain just sore especially from sitting around. Not used to doing that! I'm starting to get itchy and still swollen Can't wait till the drain gets taken out on Wedensday I'll feel like I can move more freely. Scale says I put on 5 pounds I hope not! work to hard to keep in shape...hopefully it's only temporary. Well for anyone wondering if they should do the surgery I say go for it! Can't wait to see the final results

Had my drain taken out today Hurray!! Felt alittle funny. Doc said I'm healing great. Ifeel good but they told me not to overdue it yet. I was wearing my binder too tight thought that was better but I guess not. Love looking down and seeing all that extra skin!

2 weeks post op today. I feel great ran around all day today! doctor appointments, food shopping,laundry, made a nice dinner! Wish I could exercise. Every once in a while I get a little pain which reminds me maybe I'm doing too much. Incision is getting very itchy and I'm getting tired of wearing baggy clothes with this binder but the last 2 weeks have gone so fast so I'm sure before I know it I'll be back in my jeans! So glad I did this

3 weeks post op yesterday! I finally wore a pair of my stretcher jeans. Started walking a mile. today I'm going to go for 2! Funny I have only itchiness by the incision but sometimes I have stabbing pains by my bellybutton... Can't really complain this whole experience has been great. back to most of my normal routines I have to remind myself to be careful Still bothers me to bend down or try and wipe down all the floors ( I'm alittle of a clean freak! lol) Oh well let me get to walking!
