Well, I finally went shopping for a 2 piece. I know I still have stretch marks and I'm STILL swollen, but I do not care. I wish it wasn't swollen above the incision line like a mini muffin but the doc said because I had the two hernias taken out at the same time, it will take longer for swelling go down. Anyone with great way to reduce it or a way to fade 16 year old stretch marks- I am all ears!

Heading back to work today. I am definitely not ready to keep up with the students. Still swollen. What helps the most? I'm drinking a lot of water and green tea. I just feel like Frankenstein with different parts stitched together- ugh.

I have finally posted some pics. I have gone from depressed and miserable to feeling great and happy, to some type of postpartum anxiety and back. I called the doc today because I do not like how my incision is looking below the belly button. I called on Monday worried about the belly button (infection?), but the APRN said it was normal. I don't know.
I ditched the dreaded binder this past Saturday and switched to SPANX! I have finally started to feel human.
I am so not ready to go back to work! I can't wait until all of this stupid tape comes off. Just a side note- I stopped taking the narcotics 5 days after surgery (after taking out the drain that day during first post-op appt.) they made me feel horrible! Switched to Tylenol and Motrin.
