It's Official, I'm Gonna Tuck my Tummy!! - Albuquerque, NM

Day 13 PO, everyday is better, which is awsome, but feels so slllllloooooow. I can do so many things yet I can't do so many things. Sometimes I look at myself and am not so happy, I feel like I have a muffin top on my left side then I look back on my befores and remind myself I'm looking good. Also I know a lot is swelling and when that goes down (if ever) I will be a lot happier with my results. I'm back at work and it's not too bad. I hate wearing compression garments all the time, but my PS said for best results 3 months. I do confess I have slept without one twice so far, and am sure I will again. I've decided to listen to my body and if it feels like it needs a compression break then so be it!! Tonight I will be sleeping with it on because I feel like I ate a lot today and I guess it makes me feel like the lipo holes (which could be something I've made up in my head) will not re-fill with fat.... hahaha. Happy healing everyone.

Day 6 po... Can't believe tomorrow will be a week from my surgery day. So glad its over and there's no anxiety...well actually there is a little, i'm dreading getting the drain out. I'm just a big panty and think its gonna hurt. I know it will be fast, so I keep telling myself that. Everyday is better, I do more and more. Progress is slow but happening!! I can laugh a little better, i'm walking a little straighter and up and down on my own. I even shaved my legs today wooo hoo!! The pain is minimal and my only complaints are that one side, my left has a love handle, i'm hoping with the swelling going down it will get better but I might need a revision down the road. Oh and the bruising is bad, but I do have sensitive skin and bruise easy. I put on some Capri sweat pants and at shirt and write love the way I look in clothes... Big difference, huge!! Anywho, hope everyone is healing well, and for those if you about to have your surgery, yay!! You will love it!!

PO Day 5. Finally used the bathroom today, yay... Kept on the colace, took 2 fiber gummies a day and a miralax for 2 days. Since i'm no longer taking heavy pain meds, just Aleve, i'm just gonna stuck to colace and fiber gummies. Took a shower, a good one actually, i'm staighter and feeling stronger. My husband washed my hair in the sink before we even started then it just sat in a towel. I do have s shower chair so it helps, I did my arms legs and lady parts, then he gently washed my stomach and belly button. I'm washing the finish garment the PS gave me so I have on a tight compression belt, I hope it helps with the left muffin top I seem to have. I live my flat stomach but on the left have a major muffin top. I don't know if its just swelling or i'm gonna need a revision :( today is by far my best day since surgery and I hope I just get better and better every day. Happy healing everyone if anyone has tips on my muffin our any questions please post.
