35 Year Old with 3 Beautiful Children but Mom Not So Much!

So I tried to go back to work at 4 weeks post op...hahaha..not so fast!! I worked one day and was in bed for the next day and a half. This week I am 5 weeks post op. I worked in the yard yesterday and worked at my job today. I am in actual pain tonight. A little frustrated because I was feeling so good. I am also more swollen this evening too. Otherwise my incision looks great. I bought a scar jell to put on it. I love it. It took out some inflammation I had on my scar. Still happy I had my surgery!

Oh and my compression garment is my best friend.. I slept one night without it on to just get a break from it. I was so sore and stiff when I woke in the morning. For now it just feels so good on, its like it holds you together and without it on i feel like my abdomen is week and loose. I did buy a small compression band at the local babies r us to have when I am washing the other or just to have as a back up, I have worn it when I went to dinner and wore a shorter sun dress and didn't want the legs and straps to show from the garment my Dr. Gave me.

Feeling good but probably need to rest more but it is hard with 3 kids. Skin and incision is very itchy!! Lol
