Apply ice packs to your back. It will help, but you should feel a difference as the weeks go by.

Sometimes on the journey of getting your life and body back together, you are gonna face many emotions, feelings, and a lot of "WHY " questions but stay strong and don't get discouraged.

Yessss!!! I heard the emotional aspect of surgery can take a toll on you but stay encouraged as well, you have some online friends to help pray for you and your recovery. Blessings...
Yes I love my realself community its great for people that don't even know each other but can feel your pain and understand what you are going through. Praying for a speedy recovery.
How are you doing honey? Your pics looked awesome!!

Day one pics

Okay I was finally able to get up and take a shower(wasn't easy). I took all of the bandages off with the help of my hubby. Once I got done I felt so much better. He took off a whoping 10 pounds. I love my tummy tuck pics. I'm very swollen and tight but here are a few pictures.

Awesome job!! He did a great job. You look good the incision line is so low. I think you will heal wonderfully.
Your belly button looks so natural as well!
Thank you so much! He did an awesome job. I like the fact that my icision line is low. Do you go tomorrow?
Yes it does!
No I'm May 26. I wish it was sooner but everything was booked. I believe someone else on this board goes tomorrow.
You only needed one drain?
Yes only one drain.
That's a relief!
You do look great! May 10th can not get here fast enough. 10 pounds off is amazing...I'm hoping for that or more. I'm having lipo of my thigh, flanks, bra roll, upper abs and skin removal.
Thank you!
