31 Yr Old with four Kids Getting a Circumferential Tummy Tuck and BBL - Baltimore, MD

Everything is going well. I awake up fine and flat in the morning but by evening I am very swollen. I have this puff above my bb. I don't know if it is swelling or fat, but I feel my muscle when I push on it. I will address it with my ps when I see him in two weeks. I am trying to eat clean. Back to my fruits and vegetables again. I started working out yesterday and it feels great to be back in the gym. No crunches yet by I started on the elliptical then squats and lunges. As for my butt, it is ok. Not big but normal. I am also sitting normal. I knowi will be better by summer. I am taking it one week at a time. I am still using the brown tape but I started with scar gel yesterday. We will see what happens. Is any still taking pain med like Tylenol? I feel myself still in pain in the evenings so I taking I Tylenol or 200mg ibuprofen once a day.

I saw my PS last week Thursday and he said everything looks great! He uses glue instead of stitches and I love it. I still feel very sore towards the evening and o still take my Motrin. I work 12hr shifts and I am slowly adjusting back to my work. I look flat in the morning and swell up in the evenings. I think my garment is not as tight anymore and I will be ordering a size down soon. My PS said I can stop wearing the CG after 6 weeks post op and can go back to working out again at the same time. But I think I cannot stay without the CG. My butt still hurt in some areas but it is softening up. I am still sitting with a wedge on my things to stay of my butt. It is funny when my nosey coworkers ask me, I tell them this job is killing my back and it helps me sit up straight lol.

I saw my PS on Monday and everything is healing well. My 2 remaining drains were pulled and he said I might collect some fluid but it is better than an infection. I agreed with him. I am a little swollen but I still took some pics.
