Just shy of 5 weeks post

It will be 5 weeks on Thursday. I am still getting super tired super easy and am feeling more pain this week. I have a feeling it's from surviving prom and a graduation party these past few weeks. I feel like I probably over did it along with caring for my two little ones. I am not 100% happy with results yet. I have two little pouches right on my incision and hoping it's swelling. I also feel like my doctor was a little too conservative with the flank lypo. I will find out more as time passes.

Almost 3 weeks PO

I am 19 days post surgery. Today is the first day I woke up feeling like myself, I have had an emotional ride. I probably cried 10 times a day. It is an emotional time anyway with my first born graduating in a few weeks. I never one regretted surgery like others mentioned at this stage. I had a check up today and have been cleared to lift up to 30 pounds now - so yay! I can lift my daughter on my own again!!! Two days ago I woke up with fluish symptoms. Throwing up and very tired. Thankfully that lasted only one day. Felt like I drank a 12-pack!!! The nurse also pulled some sutures that did not dissolve and made their way to surface. That was NOT a good feeling! Ouch!! I will take a picture in the morning when swelling is low.

Tid bit

One thing I wanted to share - I got my period one day after surgery - and was two weeks early. The nurses said that it is common due to the trauma the body went through. I just thought I would let you ladies know to expect the unexpected!

So far the staff has been wonderful. We did have a setback with a date change but we worked through it
