TT

I love this site and have found a lot of great information on it and would like to help Pay it forward. I am a Mother of 4 and realized as I get older, there are certain things that cannot be changed w a healthy diet and excercise. I have weighed basically the same my whole life (112-117 and 5ft 3") and luckily only gained about 15lbs per pregnancy w 9lb babies. I am nervous but have faith that it will be a positive experience. I do feel quite extravagant doing this but have finally decided that after 4 births- I think I sort of deserve it :). I have a lot of back pain currently, and hope it does not play a factor w my recover (being hunched over and all). We shall see. I will do my best to keep you updated. Currently I am 115lbs and feeling bloated still from the holidays. Btw- I started out doing this for my hernia repair and then got caught up in the muscle repair which could potentially help my back w better support. Of course- a new beautiful tummy is something I never dreamt
of and am thrilled with the thought of. I will post a few before photos.

Home safe and sound- thank goodness! I am happy to report that I am in hardly any pain w regard to my TT part. I do know that I have a high tolerance of pain - so it is either that or the fact that my LIPO I had done is KILLING me and I am not noticing my stomach! Excruciating I would say. He said it is bc there wasn't a whole lot to take and he scrapes the muscle in the process and thus the pain. I asked for a stronger pain medicine than the Vicodin but he said to just take 2. It takes the edge of from a 10 out of 10 of pain to a 8. So to all my RS friends- skip the Lipo if you can. I'm sure I will forget about it in time, but for now- I should not have done it. the muscle relaxer is wonderful and can definitely feel a difference, once it dissipates. I did rent a recliner that does lift me up, so I am not totally dependent on anyone. Yay. Best money spent! If you can do it, I would highly recommend it. I will update you more tomorrow. Please feel free to ask me anything.

I should have not spoken so soon :(. In so much pain today and feel like I will barely be able to get up. I did to empty the drains but it was a huge ordeal. I feel like I have the chills, so will take my temperature. Ps. My drains have been both just under 25 this am. Is this what anyone else has had?
