4 wks - binder off and back to normal activity

WORTH IT$10,500
I'm still not able to go back to heavy lifting and running yet, but everything else is OK! Loving having the binder off. Noticing a little swelling if I'm really active, but otherwise no complaints. I feel great, and I'm still shocked every time I get dressed. I'm down a pants size and two shirt sizes. 14 pounds total, and I seem to have settled there.

I'm definitely getting flatter every day! :D Today I woke up and was truly FLAT. No photo, since I was in the buff, but I'm so so happy. :) Still a little swelling left, out by my hips, but it's nothing compared to what I had initially.
Down 8 pounds total, so far. Nice side benefit. :) But I went lingerie shopping yesterday, and it sure was fun trying all those things on my flat tummy once I got home!

Have you gone back to work? How much pain were you in?

I'm a stay at home mom, but the first two weeks I was pretty useless. My doc said he took a lot of skin, and my surgery was more extensive than he'd expected, and he'd originally told me I should feel normal after one week. I'm at 3 weeks PO now, and back to normal activities with my binder on, except heavy exercise. It still aches and burns a bit, but I don't need to take anything. Not gonna lie, though, it was definitely WAY more painful than either of my C-sections for those couple of weeks. The first ten days, I needed pain killers to sleep, and I needed them all day for the first five or so.
