Tired of recovery

Today Im not feeling this at all. Im a week post op. Im just tired of this already. Tired of my drainage bags. Tired of everything I eat making me nauseous. I feel like I have a few more problems than I had before my surgery. This sx really woke up my acid reflux. Im not on pain meds anymore. Theres really no pain unless I have to cough or sneeze. I suppose now Im having a small constipation problem. which I really dont understand because I went pretty good just the other day. Im a lil upset this morning. I wanted so bad just to sleep on my side last night. Im very tired of sleeping upright. At night is when Im the most nauseous after dinner. Everything sucks right now, Not trying to be a debbie downer to anyone right now but Im just keeping it G. I know this will get better with time but today is not the day. When I feel better I will post some more pics. Not sure if going thru alllll of this is worth it smh,

Hang in there sweetie. We've been there. And it really does suck. Its such an up and down situation. Some days you will feel great, others you will feel real sucky. The tummy i think is the hardest because its the core of stability for your whole body. How many pillows are you propping yourself up with? Have you visited the Tummy Tuck blogs to see what the gals are doing to help make thier recovery easier? I hope you feel better doll.
Thank you. Yes I do a lot of researching on tt blogs lol. It does help a lot. Feeling better slowly.
Hang in there ! Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks girly.

I feel great at this moment. Yesterday was a really bad day. I was nauseated all day and nothing helped me shake it. Tomorrow I will be a full week post op. I love my results so far. I have no waist. Dr. Salama is a beast. A couple of tips for a bowl movement is drinking some hot tea. It really works. I didn't experience constipation. Also propping your feet up up on a foot tool and bearing down helps a lot too. But everyone is different don't take my word for it. Do what's best for. Was this worth it? I still don't know. U can't enjoy your tt Right after surgery. It will take me to be healed up more to really know. This surgery is no joke. If u ain't bout that life don't do it lol realtalk. I will up date with more pics really soon. Happy healing to all!

I'm also one week post op. Just had 1 drain out yesterday. My ps said I should be walking a lot and standing tall. This is almost impossible. Also my tummy is SO swollen from TT and lipo. It's literally larger than I was before. Hard as a rock too. My PS said I look normal for what I had done but I'm really concerned. Is your abd area hard with fluid?
Hmmm. Not really hard from fluid... It's more hard on my flanks from the lipo.Keep your compression garment on. This should help with swelling. Both my drains are still in. They told me to record them when they stay under a certain amount. What was your drain bag measuring at when he took one out? My dr. told me i have to be 25cc. For 2 days straight before 1 or both can come out. Happy healing!
Can you please post some more close up pics. thanks
Yes. Sorry haven't been feeling well. I'm better now i got u. Yw.
Awe your scaring me
Lol I'm sorry honey. Don't be scared it's really not that bad. It's just the first week is challenging. I had extra issues with my acid reflux that really sucked. I feel better now.
I love you're results. My stomach look similar to yours so I get thrilled looking at your results. Thanks
I'm glad I can help. Yw.
