I am 41 years old and finally began doing things for me when I turned 40. Got out of my unhappy 18 year marriage, lost 60 pounds, got a new job. And finally am going to do something about this huge belly. It's something I've wanted to do since I can remember. I just can't wait to feel better about my body!!

I don't know what happened to my previous update:(. Oh well. I'm PO day 3 n feeling great. Off pain meds just Motrin. I thought pain would b a lot worse. Standing up n sitting down is a lil rough but other than that walking around pretty straight. My parents r staying with me so that makes my life way easier. Recliner has been a lifesaver. Also my zip up robe is what I've been living in. Makes dealing with the drains so much better. Going to see PS tomorrow n hopefully I can shower. Been draining quite a bit of fluid so I doubt he will take out drains tomorrow. Took some pix. Pretty gory looking but my pouch is officially gone!! Yea!!

PO day 8. Parents left:( but at least my kids r here, they r 16 n 17 so a big help. My drains r bothering the heck outta me. I'm gonna beg my ps to c if he will take them out before Xmas. Having some company n don't want to b in pjs:). Really standing up straight. Back starts to hurt after walking for a while. Sleeping on recliner is more comfy than the bed. Tried to sleep in bed last night, not to good. I'm still very swollen. But I'm down 12 lbs since my surgery a week ago!! I can't believe it. Been eating very little...just not hungry. Posting some pix from this am. Still not much definition, hopefully I will see some soon. I did have lipo of the flanks n hoped it worked;)
