FTT, MR & Lipo, done deal!- New Jersey

38 days post op: I wanted to share my feelings about shopping for clothes...I can't even describe the fun I'm having. Am I dreaming? I catch myself smiling in the mirror while in the changing rooms, and oh boy I've been in many changing rooms over the last two weeks. Pure bliss. The problem is I can't stop buying new clothes, underwear, bra's, belts, etc... I'm happy even when I'm swelled up like a watermelon. I rented a hospital bed for this surgery and when the surgical supply company came to pick it up...I cried. I cried because I enjoyed this whole process, pain and all. It's been magical and I don't want to let the thrill go away, not yet;-)

Reached the 5 week mark two days ago....so I'm 37 days po and feeling/doing great. I'm using mederma (as per ps) on my scar. I feel like I'm back to normal but still haven't been cleared for the gym yet. My ps said I can take leisurely walks but that's about it. I'm thinking this will change after my 6 week check up. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life and I'll never forget this journey. Take care tummy tuckers!

25 days po & feeling fabulous! I've been back to work in full force (sales rep) since 18 days po and not having a problem. The first couple of days I found myself getting tired very easily. I went to bed very early, and still do in fact. My scar is healing very nicely and I'm looking forward to when I'll be able to go to the gym again. I do swell, more so at the end of the day but not that bad. Most of my pre-op clothes are too small (not complaining) and I've bee shopping (with pleasure) for clothes that fit. Life is good.
Be well everyone!
