Its so awesome to put an a pair of bottoms that at one point semi fitted (my pant were always big on the legs and butt and tight on the waist area) and now have them be to big!!!! I can't wait until I'm able to go clothes shopping ( ill wait a lil longer, until more of the swelling goes down).

That's so awesome to hear! It really has been a great experience and i feel a billion times more confident. The best thing in the world is to put on clothes and not worry or think about how im going to hide my stomach....I feel like a normal person again. The surgery has its hard parts and sometimes it can be emotionally and physically hard. The thing yhat gets me through it is knowing that this is a short, but hard season. Dont be naive like me and think you'll jump back in two weeks because you won't. But I know that reward will be worth every bit of it :-)

ok, pics soon, but don't dissappear from the sight, I might need you to help me through! lol I am thinking that the hardest part will be having the drains and the showering.....i can't imagine the drain thing! I am a bit older than you also...42 so i'm not sure if this is easier the younger you are but I shall see!

Drains are a bit uncomfortable but definitely manageable. If you can have someone help you with cleaning them its very helpful.. Showering with them is a breeze, as long as you pin them around your neck you'll be fine :-) a helpful tip; be sure to put a chair in your shower and have someone in there to help you.

Man you're recovering well! I think po week 4 is truly the tipping point for so many of us - not that we magically deflate, but it at least lessons nicely.
