15 days after my mommy makeover

I can't believe it's already been 2 weeks and a day since my surgery. Wow, what a difference time makes.
Every day I get more and more pleased with my results. At this point I'm having to remind myself to take it easy. Cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner. I was absolutely exhausted and had to rest all day Friday, but still was able to accomplish it. I feel like I'm rambling...sorry! Just trying to document the little things because I know in a few weeks I will have forgotten.
I look down and see swelling in my lower and upper stomach. For a few seconds I feel dissapointed then I remind myself where I started (thank goodness for before pics) and that I'll probably get worse before I get better.
Would I do this surgery again? IN A HEARTBEAT!
Now for my boobies---holy soreness!! For every day my tummy gets a little less sore I think the girls get a little more sore! They were numb for so long I think they're finally returning to have feeling :-)
Oh. Want to mention I'm SO happy I had implants. Originally I was just going to have a lift, which would have left me a C-cup. (At my heaviest I was a DD). Doc had said I'd prob be 'happy enough' with just a C, but I ended up talking myself into 400cc implants to bring me up to a full D. SO HAPPY I would not have been satisfied with just a lift. Guess that's all for today. I'll update again in about a week!

9 days post op

This will def not be pictures and a post I'm proud of, but I'm trying to use this as a way to document my journey, so you're getting it all---the good, the bad and the ugly!!!
Today is post-op day 9. I feel about 60% which is great because last week at this time I was miserable. Sitting around not doing anything I feel really good. That rarely gets to happen however, so that feeling great quickly goes away since I have 3 active kiddos and hubbs who has been away working way too much overtime this week. My in-laws also arrived yesterday for a 8-day stay, so I'm having to be up cooking more than I'd like. Grrrrr.
I still have hopes of returning to work on Monday, but I just can't get my family to leave me alone and let me rest!!!!
But I guess for any of you "busy" moms out there my post goes to show life still goes on, you just have to grin and deal with the pain.
My pictures are nasty today, as I imagine they will be for a few more months. That's ok. I'm reminding myself my double-decker stomach-shelf is gone and I no longer have saggy-boobs....I just look forward to my boobies settling a bit more and my swelling to go away. I fully expect it to get worse before it gets better, it's all apart of the journey :-)

7-days post op

Hey all!
Today is 7 days since my mommy-makeover. I have to say, I think the worst is behind me!
The swelling has definitely begun. I had a few days of a pity-party where I felt like I was going through SO much pain but still had a ponch in my lower belly.
Now that I'm up and moving the pain wasn't THAT bad. I think I was just being a wimp :-)
Yesterday was my post-op visit. I got my stitches removed and my drain out. I'm a whole new woman!!! My doctor was fabulous and told me I'm looking right on track. The nurse told me not to stress about my swelling, that it's completely normal. I know it's normal, it just stressed me out that one day I had a flat tummy and the next I had a poof!
It's all good now. Not going to let my emotions get the best of me anymore.
Anyway, I haven't taken any pics since my drain/stitches have been removed, but here's one from post op day 5 after my sponge bath.
