I'm completely of my meds. I have no pain, just a little sore with swelling still. But for the past two days I have to pee like every 30mins it seems. It's so annoying lol. Hopefully it's just the fluids exiting my body so this darn swelling will start to go down. I'm back home now (stayed with family the first week) and my home makes me feel better lol even my recliner feels better to me. Guess there's no place like home! I also made a trip to the devil's playground aka Walmart lol (I call it that because you always buy more then you need when you go in there) and got a few things before I got home. I'm still a little hunched over and my back is killing me of course, so I can't wait to stand up straighter soon. Im so glad i was able to get the drain less tummy tuck, i don't think i could have dealt with those in the beginning. Well, I hope everyone is recovering well or are getting ready for a new tummy in the near future!

The increased urination could be from the pressure the swelling is putting on your bladder, or it could be a UTI. Are you peeing normal amounts when you go, or is just a little bit coming out?

Its normal amounts. And I don't have a sense of urgency either so I figured something else was going on. I can't stand it because I have to pee eveytime I get comfortable. Ill keep an eye on it.

I need to put up more pictures because it has gone down more then this. I'm still swollen, especially from the lipo but everything is coming together nicely. I am starting to love my results!

Day 7 post op! Very swollen but getting around better. :( it's a little upsetting because my tummy isn't looking the way I know it should because its so puffed up, ugh. But on a good note my belly button looks normal and cute! I got in for my 1 week appointment today, so hopefully they explain this crazy swelling that's going on.

Feeling better but still swollen :( can't wait for that to go down a bit. But I only have bruising on my hip rolls from the lipo but not on any of the other areas. I also had lipo on the bra line to get rid of that roll (shown in pic 3) and it is nice and smooth with no bruising. Yay. I can't wait for my final results to come in. I am going to save up for a while so I can take myself on a shopping spree. I'm going to be one hot momma haha.

But lately I have been having really weird dreams post op. WTH? But, my tummy is really flat in all of them but they are just strange lol. One involved me being chased and I woke up a little worried because it was so vivid. Maybe that's just part of the deal when healing and taking meds.

Lol happy recovery everyone!

lol..... This is what pains meds do to some people. That was one reason i stopped taking 2 at night. I would rather be awake and uncomfortable then to wake up from nightmares!!! Hope your feeling good, happy healing!!!

Mine have been weird and vivid too. I definitely think its the pain meds. I to have cut way back, but it still feels more comfortable when I'm on them.

I hated that! I'm off my meds completely now, but I would only take half a pill when I was in a lot of pain and a whole one right before bed to slowly get myself off of them. My first day cold turkey was a little rough because I felt nauseous but I didn't throw up so that helped. But today I'm so much better. I take Tylenol if I have any aches now.
