Is It Normal to Feel Great 18 Days Post Op from a Full TT and Lipo of the Flanks?

Nomoreflab
I had a full TT 18 days ago with lipo of the flanks. Right after surgery I remember feeling very tight in the abdomen and extremely bruised and sore on my flanks. I took pain pills for 2 days and after that I didn't need them. I could stand up straight after 7 days with no problems. Now I pretty much feel like I did before I went into surgery. I clean, play w/kids, treadmill, sleep on stomach...and so much more. I am not complaining but is this normal?
