Senior Mommy Make Over

can't believe it has been 3 weeks already. Went to see Dr. P yesterday and got very emotional. How do you thank someone for transforming You? She was thrilled with how I am healing and removed stitches from my lipo incision and belly button. We talked about a few areas that aren't totally smooth yet and she assured me that all would be well in time. I am collecting a bit of fluid in my lower tummy, nothing to drain, she said it will absorb in time.

one more week of keeping my elbows below my nipples to not strain the breast incision and no exercise for another week. We talked about my CG which is a firm control SPANX and she wanted me to wear it another week. I went back to work this week and I am swelling a lot by the end of the day so until that calms down I will be wearing it. In fact I have lost 14 pounds so far so I just ordered a smaller size. I haven't had much of an appetite and my new flat tummy doesn't want to stretch because of a big meal. I will be continuing the scar tape for 5 more weeks.

We were planning a trip across country the first week of July for our friends wedding and she advised against it...I hated to agree but I decided she was right and called our friends. They were very gracious, but I still feel bad. My fiance was going to perform their wedding.

My drive from my office to Seattle and then back home to the country was a real challenge. I felt like I had a needles poking me from the inside out. Got home and on my back and all was well when I added the glass of wine.

Work has been a challenge, I typically sit a lot and I have found that getting up and moving around helps. I have yet to make it a full day, I get to the point it is all I can do to drive home. I told my direct reports what I had done but the rest of my staff can tell that I am not my normal self. But I seems to get better each day.

I am emotionally struggling, I am normally a very high energy happy person and this past week I have been a bear. I don't know if it is the side effects of the surgery or what but I don't like it and that just makes it worse. Love my new body, hate being emotional.

I think I might have overdone it these past couple of days, my breast are swolen and hot, and I think I maybe getting one of those fluid bubbles in my lower tummy right above were the drains came out, can't remember what they are called. I am going to change my tape, take a shower and spend the rest of the day on my back and see if things get better. Trying to go back to work tomorrow....might delay to Tuesday.

Tried to get the same pose as my kind of wonderful as it was hysterical. I definitely need some lessons. While I was all stripped down I couldn't resist getting on the scale....I know I was advised to wait a month but it kept calling me.....I am down 12 pounds since my surgery date. So excited and best part is that it is gone from all the right places. Love you Dr Peters.... You said dramatic results and you were not kidding and I still have a 106 days until the wedding. Happy happy girl.
