1st shower killed me! I hope it gets easier!

I will Have you in my prayers lilmary! You will do just fine! I am 8 days post op and would do it agin in a NY minute! Good luck tomorrow and remember long deep breaths tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Hi Ashley!!! ME TOO!!! I hate this swelling, my abdomen feels rock hard!! :-/ I hope we get over this soon.

Thank you michtrif, I hope it gets easier too :) I'm just sooooo swollen! Saw doc and he said it was all normal because he did a lot of lipo on top of the tuck...so hopefully sooner rather than later this horrible swelling will subside.

Today I'm 8 days Post op. feeling good as I got my drains out yesterday and doctor cleared me for regular showers. So I ended up trying it out today with my hubby's help. OH BOY BIGGEST MISTAKE! :( I'm REALLLLLLLLYYYYY swollen so when I took my binder off and got in the shower I cried so much! I felt like I was going to pop! It was my 1st time without my binder and I felt horrible without it! The back pain was horrible from standing and yet I couldn't sit because I felt that if I sat, I would pop at my "seams". When I finally sat down after putting on my binder I cried for almost an hour... Eeeekkk horrible expirience, I truly hope it gets easier to shower!

Officially on the flat side and doing surprisingly well! :) thanks for all your prayers and well wishes! I will update more and take some pics as soon as I get home from the hospital tomorrow.
