Almost 2 Weeks
Tomorrow will be the official 2 weeks mark. I will be able to drive and will start going for walks.
I think I've done more than I should've physically speaking. I did have to cook for the kids and clean a little (I have a roomba so no vacuuming lol)
People have done my laundry and done grocery shopping. I definitely didn't pick up anything over 5lbs.
I'm glad I listened to my Dr. the challenge now is to continue to take it slow.
I thought about walking at the gym since it's cold out, but my mom pointed out that I'll do too much cause I'll be "in that environment". I agree. I'm a gym rat and self conscience about my looks, so it's hard for me not to work out.
I'm commuting to not going to the gym until dec 1st, which is actually 6 weeks to the day from my surgery.
I'm almost able to stand up straight, which is nice. I definitely don't want to stretch out my scar, so I'm not forcing that issue!!

Feeling good, I'm just going to ignore the scar as best I can and re-evaluate in 6 months :) it's an adjustment for sure!

A Little Down Today
I got my period during day 9 of recovery, which was fine. Today I have super bad cramps and I'm just feeling down. I really dislike the swelling in my mid section. It's making me feel insecure and nervous that the swelling won't ever go down. On the other hand, I know better. Recovery takes time. It's hard to know what anything is going to look like 11 days into the process!
I'll post pics next entry....

I will be getting my circumferential abdominoplasty this coming Friday! A lot of what you are feeling is normal about the swelling (so I've read), and of course getting your period is not helping with water retention. Looks like you are doing great and it looks awesome!
My PS will also be using exparel for mine - I was hoping I would be pretty numb for at least a few days post!! Oh well, I know it's going to hurt, so mise well get used to the idea! I had an arm lift and lower face lift in August, but I know that the TT is far more painful. After losing weight and literally having a skin apron to show for it I'm willing to go thru it!
Will follow you and look forward to seeing more pics! Try not to do too much too soon - your body needs to heal from the inside out! :-)
