Still Bloated
I've really been having a difficult time with bloating after eating. By the end of the day I look like I'm pregnant. Very upsetting. My PS and family practitioner both thing it's a side effect of the pain medication I took in the beginning of my recovery. Have tried everything under the sun. Nothing has worked. I go back to my FP Monday. He may have to run tests. I just have to get this to go away. I can't even enjoy a flat tummy yet. ????
Almost 5 Weeks PO
Still a bit of swelling going on. But clothes are already fitting better. So I can wait to see how things are once are better.
Finally....some after pics.
I am sorry I couldn't do this sooner. But here are some after pictures. I'm now a little over two weeks post surgery. There is still a lot of swelling as I'm sure you can tell. All the marks you see on my breasts and abdomen are from the compression garment. Things are looking pretty good. The TT scar looks nice and low. I like the shape of my breasts after the BL/BA. Also I've lost 10 more pounds since the day of my surgery. Other than post-op doctor visits, I've been too tired to really do much more than that. I haven't left my house for anything else. I'm pretty much done with the meds my doctor prescribed and only taking ibuprofen for pain. Which isn't terrible. I go in tomorrow for the nurse to remove a few outer sutures from under my breasts. They said I should be starting my scar treatment next week. The following week I should be graduating to only wearing Spanx-type shape wear verses the hardcore CG I am wearing now. I've had some emotional moments. I hate not being able to do everything I normally do. I homeschool my boys and we are so far behind with that. So I've had a lot weighing on my mind. It makes it hard to see the light at the end of tunnel sometimes. All and all I know things will turn around and be I will be so glad I did my MM. I just have to push through. God bless.
