Getting Back to Me! - Denver, CO

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!

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 :))
