I'm 3 weeks today, wow it feels like I should be a lot further. I'm going to attempt work next week, but only one shift for now so I don't over do it. The pain that I had last week the ps said was just a bruised muscle, he also told me I can move into spanx now so I'm looking into those =) I'm still swelling but not nearly like I was only when I do too much then I'm exhausted. There are times that I feel Great like I didn't even have this done and so excited with the results but then after I do even a few things like laundry and dishes I need a break =/ I'm very impatient and can't wait til I can start full shifts and work out =) My goal is to turn this flat tummy into a six pack! ;-) Best of luck to everyone and hope you all have a good recovery Flatt Side Baby!!!

so im 2 weeks today. things are good I feel like im ready for work but I know my body is not. So I may have over done some things. I know the stinging sensation is my nerves adjusting but
lately ive been getting a sharp dull pain
in my upper/middle abdomin it comes
and goes and im super nauseous my
family thinks its a hernia I called the
nurse and she said its normal its just
nerves adjusting but I only get those around my incision.. im really confused and in a lot of pain when I do get this pain...ughh so confused... I have to wait til thurs. everything else is great its my own fault if I over did it.

So today is my day 8 of my post op it feels like so much longer... I think b/c I'm bored. I am a busy body I'm very active and I'm a bartender so I'm a social butterfly. I sooooo miss work! and it's going to unfortunately be awhile til I can go back with my job there is a lot of lifting with ice, trash, dishes, etc. and A Lot of bending over. getting ice for drinks getting liquour and beer bottles. I sooo miss my work and regulars and employees etc. My family is so Amazing though my kids love helping me and taking care of they even tuck me in and as soon as they get home from school they run over to me and ask how I'm feeling and ask if they can get me anything
