Week 4 post op
Week 4, still wearing a compression garment. Got a MariaE faja to wear and boy is it tight! Love it though, my 1st garment was just getting too loose.
Still dealing with swelling especially in upper abs, not sure what is up with that. Annoying bc if look so flat if that would just go down lol
Appt with my dr next week so I'm excited to see what he thinks.

I can now stand all the way up! I tried to wear jeans today but the band was not comfy on my incision so back to stretchy pants.
I now can sleep on my sides. Such a relief to my back and butt lol ready to sleep on stomach again.
Still swollen but trying to be patient.
I started doing lunges, squats and sitting while doing small arm workout with 5 lb dumbbells. I can't stand to not use my muscles I'm feeling so mushy. Plus I've been picking my 1 yr old up since before I hit my 2 week mark. I know that's a no no but I don't always have my hubby here so what can ya do. It doesn't hurt at all and I'm very careful with how I lift.
Attaching some pics. Once I hit the 4 week mark, I'll do side by sides of the weeks to show the improvements.

You are healing great. Lol I'm so I'm impatience myself looking at my body swollen I'm 11 days in my healing process. I have no help while my husband is at work , attending to my 2and 3 yrs old, I'm usually very happy when my 13 yr old is out from school. My doc said no lifting babies u until a mth. Omg. What can I use for the swelling ?

Drink plenty of water and wear your compression garment religiously! Swelling does get better. Just sit and rest as much as possible or at least go to bed early. I had to just start putting kids down an hour early so I could get off my feet. Hang in there momma, it gets better :)
