Bright side :)

Well yesterday was hard but the good news is things are starting to look up! Ive decided to go gluten free again (my dr thinks i might be celiac and i always feel better limiting my gluten and dairy). I cleaned a bunch of my house (until one am) then took a shower and im starting to feel less helpless (its hard when you are limited in the things you can do).
Ive decided to take kids for a walk and store (we will see how that goes but im looking forward to getting out if the house).
Im still swollen, itchy (where i tore off my tape) and wearing fancy pee hole spanks but im going to make the best of this and ive realized im going to look much better soon.
Lovin everyones before and after pics it gives me hope that ill look as cute as all of you! Hope youre all having a great day :)

No seroma but feeling down...

So its been a while since i posted so heres an update. I was worried i had seroma luckily my doctor flew back into town and he and an assistant met me and my husband on SUNDAY (still amazed that he met me on a weekend he could have blew me off but he didnt and he took his time; i am so glad i picked him as my doctor). He told me i was normal just swollen (a tiny bit of seroma near scar on bottom but soooo small). So after i was relived and felt stupid (for making them both come in to work for me). I just didnt realize i would look good then swell up all lumpy and feel like crap! Nothing like csection swelling not even close!

So my swelling is decreasing but now i feel like i cant stop eating i dont know if its halloween candy everywhere or wearing this annoying CG with a pee hole or feeling fat because my swelling is sticking around or not running but i feel like crap! I think i need to get jucing again but i cant go to the store bc i would need to lift my daughter and son into the cart and i dont want to take any chances. On top of it my daughter is teething and is sooooo fussy and also HATES that i cant pick her up. I try to have her sit on my lap and cuddle but she doesnt like it i guess its just not the same. I miss picking her up :(

Anyway just feeling down today. I was hoping to be looking better by now. I was thinkin id call my dr office asking if i can tun but i can barely walk the house with out getting huntched over. Ugh! Anyway hope you all are doing better than me...you all look fablous!

Also can anyone see that big hard spot by my bb in the pic? Does anyone know if that goes away? It hurts when u press on it. Im pretending its not there bc i wear my cg so often i forget till i take it off and see it.
Also i got so itchy i pulled all my tape off my dr said to leave it in till it came off on its own but i couldnt take it anymore and everyone on RS seems to have theres off so hope it was okay?!

Called Dr. And text pics...

Called Dr. And sent him pics he thinks I have Sonoma. (Sorry i dont know how to spell that!) He is out of town he is going to call us tomorrow and discuss if we should put the needle in and get the fluid out Sunday or just wait till Monday. It's hard to show from pics but it is very big and I hope it doesn't ruin how flat I was in the beginning. I wish I had just said yes and kept my drains I think I would have not had this fluid build up. My tummy is now bruised (which is okay and normal) but I feel like each day I am getting worse.
Good news, I finally pooped! I also went down in weight (121.5 now was 119.5 dr office) so at least that is good.
My incision hurts mostly on right side and under rib cage. I feel like I'm burning up but my husband took my temp said I was normal. I practically slept all day.
If my dr gives me a choice should I go in Sunday when he flys back into town(I feel bad bc it's the weekend) or go Monday (I have repair man for dishwasher and sprinkler blow out I will need to change schedule) plus ill need to find someone to watch the kids and someone to drive me.
Thank you RS ladies! Looking forward to feeling better soon!
