Swell HELL! Over this recovery, asking why I did this!! :-/
lostgypsie1984November 10, 2013
Despite the title, I am actually feeling really good; meaning I am able to do light house work, take my kids to school etc. I am just so over this swelling! I have YET to enjoy my tummy tuck, I've only seen it swollen! :-( I drink plenty of water and limit my sodium intake. I look in the mirror and ask myself why did I do this!! Ok, phew had to vent, now let me back up a few days.
Saw my ps on po day 9 and he took off all bandages and was really thrilled with my scars and how they are moving along. My bb is still a work in progress because he used a different technique, it looks like an open wound but he says it looks really good. My incision is pretty low, my swimsuit covers it :-) just really wish this swelling would go AWAY! I am standing about 90% upright now and back pain is gone.
Now on to the boobs...I am really pleased with them and they have dropped a lot and are taking form more and more everyday. They are a bit tender. I tried on my 36D(UK) swimsuit top and was busting out of it! Yah!!
Posting some pics, happy healing and best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries!

Morning Boob is Killer!
lostgypsie1984November 2, 2013
I had to lay in bed still until the pain of morning boob subsided and nearly peed my pants! Lasted about an hour and a half! Any tips or suggestions on dealing with this?!

Ice pack and Savoy cabbage is fab for boob pain Hun I know it sounds crazy but the old natural remedies are best x
