“11 Weeks Post op”

I am 37 yrs old and have 2 children ages 5 and 3. I had both of them via csection and gained 52 lbs with my first and 45 lbs with second. I am 5'2 and weigh 134. I am about a size 4-6. I have always been unhappy with my tummy but after having kids there is now belly fat as well as loose skin and separated stomach muscles.

PS is across the country so I haven't seen him since my consultation ages ago. Talking to him tomorrow finally and getting all my info! Very excited!
I workout a lot! I weight train 5 days per week and do cardio 6 days per week at least 30 min-1hr. After I get my BL and TT I will finally look like I should! It is so frustrating working out so much and not having the body I should! I have come to terms with my weight of 135 which I wish was lower but the muffin top of loose skin and separated muscles and saggy huge boobs have to go! 28 more days!

I wasn't feeling well enough to post much until now so here it goes .
Day of surgery I arrived at 7:15 which was early and they took me right in. I did a prego test and put on bikini bottoms. I walked into the OR and my ps began taking pics and then drew all over me. Boobs and lipo areas. I laid on my tummy first so they could start with lipo. Anesthesiologist gave me my drugs and I was off to lala land. Woke up needing to pee right away and feeling no pain. Went home after that. I felt ok rest of the day. Pain started the next morning. I couldnt get comfortable. I finally started taking 2 Percs instead of one and that helped a lot. Am not sleeping well, back hurts and drain holes are sore. Boobs don't which is good but I am really swollen!
That's it for now. Will all be worth it in the end. Also helped that I went to the bathroom so soon after my surgery!

Today is po 4. Woke up nauseous on all the mess I assume. Am so sick of being uncomfortable and moody. Cried all morning! I am ready to be among the living. I tried to hang out outside the bedroom today but ended up back here at 3:30 pm. On the bright side No pain meds since this morning which is good for me. I am definitely having a day of "why did I do this to myself?" I hope it will get better from here. One thing I can honestly say is that I am glad I don't want anything else do e because I would NEVER do this again.

1 week po and am better. Got my drains out yesterday which was great! Hurt a lot! Walking better but my back still hurts. Slept better though. Am very swollen and concerned that my BB is going to be an outie! I hope not! My old BB was cute! Looking forward to Friday. Getting my stiches out on my breasts and TT incision. Right side of incision hurts and left side of left boob hurts! Hope it's from stiches. Tried to put on my CG at ps office yesterday instead of binder and couldn't because it hurt my TT incision on that one side so bad. Will try again Friday.

I am 5 weeks post op today and feeling pretty good. Looking forward to being able to work out fully at the gym. I am allergic to Vicryl sutures which are the dissolvable stiches used in TT. Just prolonged my healing in my incision but it is healing nicely so its ok. Just need to wait a little more to do more at the gym.

11 weeks post up and not thrilled. Belly isn't as flat as it should be and breasts are still same size. ps says it is swelling but I am gettting pretty skeptical at this point

Posted some 11 week pics that I am not happy with. Hoping this really is swelling! I also weight a lot for me and am also hoping this will come off with the swelling
