38 Yr Old, Wide Diastisis Recti and Painful Umbilical Herni. Got Drain Less Tummy Tuck - Allen, TX

I had to get an umbilical hernia fixed, it was causing lots of pain. Dr said hernia may come back because of the 3-4 finger muscle separation (diastisis recti) and the only way to fix it is to get TT. Hubby said, get r done, and so began my search for a plastic surgeon. I found an amazing one after reaching out to a well respected physician (I'm fairly new to the area). Did my research, and my Dr did the drainless technique. I'm sharing my journey.

I'm 38 with 2 young kiddos ; 5'3; 168 lbs; size 10 pants

I saw my Dr yesterday, he took out my bb stitches and the steri strips. The incision looks great! I'm VERY happy! It's midnight here, and 24 since I last took a pain pill. I feel really good. Nurse said I need to work on walking straighter, said that'll be my goal today. The tingling in my legs is minimal as is the numbing sensation. My appetite is coming back little by little. I'm very happy about how I'm healing (thanks to my DH, family, friends, and God). Cancun, here I come (next month)!

I'm able to move around much better during the day. Sleeping is still horrible! I'm up and down several times a night, I can't get consistent sleep so I feel very exhausted during the day... Which makes me crave cake, ice cream, and cookies. ???? and eating all of that won't help with weight loss, esp since I can't exercise to burn it off. What a horrible cycle! I can sleep on my side for a little while now, but then my leg gets numb. I sleep on my back, but then my feet get numb. Are you all sleeping ok? When did you return to sleeping through the night?
