30 Year Old with 2 Kids - Alpharetta, GA

I'm already a little over 4 weeks post op. I'm 5'10 and 167 pounds.i started out with 172 pre op and I already dropped 5 pounds without even working out.in 2012 I lost 26 pounds.i had 2 big boys (1st 10lbs6oz and 2nd 8lbs6oz but he came 2 weeks early).they were both c-sections.thank god lol.they tore me up pretty good.i had a tt with muscle repair,lipo of the flanks and ba with 400cc in both.the first week was pretty crucial but thank god my mom was here to help out with the boys.she was here for the first 3 1/2 weeks.it gets better every day but my belly is still pretty swollen and the boobs hurt if I move wrong.i had a couple open wounds along the tt incision but they are all healed now.i can't wait for the end results.we are moving to Germany in less then 3 months so I hope I will be a lot better by then.

I finally made it to 5 weeks.I'm still swollen on my lower abdomen and sides.its annoying because hardly any pants still don't fit.it hurts specially where they did lipo on my flanks.i haven't been to the doctor for 2 weeks because of the crazy winter/ice storms we've been having down south.its been healing pretty good as far as I can see.i still have all the tape on it.cant wait till I can finally put the silicone strips on and that I don't have to wear my medical bra anymore.i'm in my spanks since 10 days post op also without the binder because I had an allergic reaction to the material of the binder.i had a red itchy rash all over my belly and back.it was pretty crazy.i had to take Benadryl on top of my other meds so I was tired most of the time.

Finally made it to 6 weeks.the nurse said I can go back to my normal routine including the gym yay!! I still have to be careful of the weight I pick up.i love my results but still swollen specially by the end of the day.most of my pants finally fit.i don't have to wear my spanx anymore but I still do because it just feels more secure around the incision.i also started with my scar treatment of silicone strips.i don't use anything else besides that.i like how low my cut is but its uneven on the sides.the one side goes further back and higher but hopefully it won't matter when I'm able to wear a bikini.i just need to find one what goes a little higher on the sides.the nurse told me that I'm able to wear my regular underwire bras again as long as the wire is like a U-form and goes all the way around the breast.are you guys allowed to wear them also after 6 weeks post op?
