Feeling Sluggish, Sore and Ready to be Done with all of this!!!!!!

Ok so today marks 3 weeks and I have been MISERABLE the last few days! I honestly have done SO well for the first few weeks, but last weekend I was up a lot more helping out with a birthday party (not lifting heavy objects, but just walking a lot and doing things) and by Monday.....I was sick. I was using a lot of hydrocodone prior to Monday and was off of it by Tuesday, and began to get chills, nausea, headaches and just overall sick. So I dont know if i was sick from doing to much, or getting off of narcotics or just sick, so for 5 days now, I have had terrible insomnia, lots of uncomfortable feelings, sore and itchy and just miserable! Any advice? I have loved my new body and self, but being so uncomfortable this week has really sparked me some regrets!!!! After 2 c-sections, i thought I would be up and about in no time, this is a difficult recovery and even harder that my babies are only 2 and 1! I am missing the heck out of them since they have been with my mom and only come home every 2 days or so. I feel like they are going to forget who mommy and daddy are! How long should i be taking medicine? How long until i can sleep normally? When should the pain begin subsiding??????

I am LOVING my results more and more everyday! It's so weird to look down and see a flat stomach. Not only do I love my looks, I love the way I feel! I really do feel more confident. The only thing that makes me feel weary is the curves where my incision is. It looks like an S curve and that I have 2 hip bones on each side! Does that go away??? Thanks for following my story, I would recommend this procedure 100%. If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank you, my mom has been SO wonderful and been keeping my kiddos until i hit 3 weeks, but at about 10 days I was able to get up and do some stuff around the house and get out and about. I might have been able to be a bit more mobile sooner but my husband has literally not let me leave the couch or even lift a finger. He has been so sweet. I am finally almost fully off of pain pills as well now (2 weeks) so that helps me get up and now be so sluggish as well.

Good that u did this in such a young age . Since I was 24 I wanted to do it and every year I would come up with an excuse not to. But finally now at 31 I said I aint waiting any longer. And I couldn't b happier.

Hey I also used same doctor. I have the same double hip line thing going on. I'm hoping it's just swelling. One side is worse than the other. I'm only two weeks post so the swelling is still pretty bad.
