Hi Squiggles! How are you feeing? I was so swollen and puffy. I still am, but it's subsiding a bit now that I'm in week 3. I've been drinking Dandilion root tea. Supposed to help with swelling. Also using ice packs. I'm so happy I didn't have drains. How are you doing with them? Stay patient with your belly....I'm trying to in mine. Please let me know how you are doing?!?

Hi Bubbly! Sorry - I missed your email reply - had to tone down my realself acct WAY too many notifications! I'm doing really actually, thanks so much for asking. I'm 10 days po now and had my 3rd drain out today. It feels SO good. The last one should come out either Monday or Wed. My DH ran me all over town today after the doc appt. and after 5 hours I came home and took my first unassisted shower. Felt so good to be able to do it all alone. BUT exhausted after my day. My tummy was so tight tonight - only ice packs would help. I will have to try the dandelion root tea - tummy is very bloated. I am almost standing completely up now most of the time. Thanks so much for sharing your story - it is very helpful having someone ahead of you. I swear I will get my own story up one of these days, but I seem to be getting sidetracked daily!

Day 17 back to work
BubblyBubblyDecember 6, 2014
Hi Realselfers! Sorry for the delay in updates. I started back to work this week, but I'm am working from home. All is good this week. I'm walking upright and faster, although I think I have been pushing myself too much. By 5 pm, I'm totally exhausted. Even with exhaustion, I'm still having trouble sleeping. I bought myself an UP band and wore it for the first time last night. I only slept 4 hours. I'm already taking Benadryl. Any advice on this?
Day 17 - The very sore spots are my lipo areas, not the incisions or the abd repair.
I've posted new pics. Swelling is still there, but my weight is coming down. I weighed in at 130.1 today. Day of surgery I was 135. Progress!!
This week I have tried Arnica Montana pellets and Dandilion Root Tea. I also use the arnica cream in all my skin around the surgical sites, but never on the scars. This seems to help a bit. Not sure if the others are helping, but my swelling has gone down quite a bit this week. Is it just due course or the herbs...who knows.

I hate to recommend Ambien but it really works-just for a short time. You need your rest to heal your very best. Ask your physician about it. For ten days it will work and you can discontinue after that. God Bless..
