Okay so ive missed a couple of days on here but mostly bc everything has stayed the same..
day 9 post op
I had to go grocery shopping..which meant an hour drive (my mom drove me) so we get to walmart and i thought i could handle just leaning on the cart & pushing it around and about 5 min i couldnt take anymore..so i resorted to the drivable carts!! Worst & best idea ever! worst bc as soon as i climbed in i looked at the look on my mom & kids faces and burst out laughing uncontrollably & could not stop! It was horrible! people were staring & im sure just thought i was one of the typical goofy kids playing around on the thing..after i calmed down i was still in agony but that cart was a miracle! It helped me so much! So anywho that day wore me out terribly & i was ready for bed..
Day 10 post op
just more of the same, pain was still the same, ive only been taking a pain pill before i shower in the morning and a pain & spasm pill before bed. I realized it had been over a week and my belly button stitch needed to come out so i planned to get my hubby to do it when he got home from work...well it didnt go as planned he made sum wise crack & that was all it took & there was no way i could take him seriously & no way i was letting him come at me with scissors & tweezers. So here we go again ladies w the dang laughing spell! I swear just bc im not supposed to laugh i have never laughed so hard in my life! and its like once i start i can not stop its horrible, very painful.
so fast forward to today & it is
Day 12 post op
First day without any pain pills!! I made it! Doesnt mean i was pain free but i tolerated it. The worst part of today was knowing that the belly button stitch had to come out. I swear i was more scared about the dang stitch then the surgery..somehow by the grace of God my hubby got it out and it didnt hurt a bit! Dont know why I was so scared!! Im still walking hunched over..i dont really good in the begining but i know i over done it & i think that might be why im still hunched over but it is getting better. But my thighs where the lipo was done are still in a lot of pain & of course thats where my babies always wanna come sit...but i can tell you ladies its day 12 and things are def looking up!! I dont know if this is a good thing but i dont really have any other choice...i am 95% back to doing everything around the house..laundry cooking dishes etc everything but heavy lifting..with the exception of having to lift my baby out of her crib & high chair..worried about that but i dont have any help. Ive been on an emotional rollercoaster but not about the TT..but about not getting any help...I have paid my mom very well and made sure i asked her in the begining if she was willing to help me w the kids & she agreed but i have done everything as far as dressing them feeding them changing diapers and she does not want to seem to help me..the only thing i ever asked of her was to vaccum our rug under our coffee table and she didnt even do that..and she literally lives right next door & doesnt work..so ive been depressed bc i really needed the help in the begining & i hope my results dont suffer from not getting it..sry for the complaining but had to vent to someone.. I will post new pics!

lemm know what you think of the pics but i know there is a lot of swelling still & it is only day 12 so hopefully things will flatten out but i tell the front is really flat & you cant even see my stretch marks! Amazing! cant wait to take the tape off in another week..the scar is literally like a pen mark! So glad i went through with this!

How are you feeling now? Any update or did you talk to your doctor about the pulling and stinging around the incision? Looking forward to your next update! I pulled the trigger and made my surgery appt for early April. Feeling good about it and even sorta relieved that at least I finally made a decision!
February 22, 2012
feeling a little better with that..it kinda comes and goes..they thought maybe it was from the tape and told me i could try to take off a piece but it is so stuck with the addhesive that i dont feel comfy taking it off...so the one thing i found that helps i hate to say is...going commando..lol wearing no undies helps with it not pulling! Im just looking forward to getting back into undies & regular clothes haha! The pulling and the laughing & coughing so far have been the roughest for me but im pulling through & everyday gets better! I am so excited for you!! Your going to do great!! Its truly one of the best decsions i have ever made! and someday soon i want to do a breast lift cause sadly im needing one but im also glad i didnt get it all together bc i think i was able to do more w the kids bc my chest and arms werent sore..I cant believe that i actually have a second chance at wearing a bikini! LOL im going to post a before pic & also i think i should post sum pics of me a couple days out..they are kind of gruesome cuz i got a rash from the tape but i really want to help people not be scared if it happens to them cuz it goes away in a couple of days! Cant wait to hear how it goes for you!

Thanks so much for posting an update and glad you are doing much better. I am so sorry to hear about your Mom not helping--that is very frustrating. But, the good news is that you are past that and can almost do everything you need to do now!
Your Day 12 PO are great...a major difference the Pre Op pics! Plus, no stretch marks! I can't wait to see more pictures.

So glad to read your updates! Sorry to hear your mom hasn't been as helpful. My mom has also agreed to help out and I worry that she will be more of a burden in the end...! My kids are 3 and 6, so not as much lifting...just the fear of them running into me because they are so wild! I have already told my husband that the house will be a complete disaster for a few weeks after surgery, and we will be surviving on take-out and frozen dinners!

Thank you so much for your support!! I def feel so much better emotionally since those before pics. I just got so tired of bring depressed when I went to my closet and would see all of my nice clothes that I couldn't fit into anymore. Things are really looking up I'm just so excited to look decent in a shirt and jeans!! Hope everything is well with you and I will keep pics coming, hopefully swelling goes down and they get better lol.

Day 8 post op
Just laying around so thought I would update..hit a bit of a rough patch last night bc I think I've been overdoing it a bit w the kids & such. I just felt pretty sore even through pain pills and just had a burning feeling around my incision but the real weird thing was it felt like my skin was being constantly pulled and it hurt! Nothing was rubbing on it so all i could think of was the tape but it was too late to call the ps so i decided it was time for bed,suddenly all the things I was doing on my own I couldn't do like get into bed...so I had my hubby help me and I couldn't get to sleep bc the pulling just stung and hurt, my hubby put some more pillows under my legs and I finally got comfy & ( I hate to talk about this) natured called... # 2 nature so i had to get outta bed and go fight that battle for the 1st time since surgery...it was rough but def not as bad as my 1st BM after having a baby so I was grateful after it was done cuz I had been dreading this for a week..so I did get back to sleep & was fine. Woke up and was really stiff & sore, still had the pulling & stinging but took some pain pills & then a shower and now I feel 100% better so I don't know what it was but I will call the PS today..anyone else had this happen to them? Hope everyone is having a great day! I'll post more pics in a little while :))
