Each day is easier. Off pain meds and able to lay flat in bed. Able to bend over. Was given permission to wear spanx last Thursday which was 1 week post op. Not sure size so still wearing my brace. Still mild swelling. Up 5# from surgery, unsure if it's fluid retention, weight, or my implants. Not sure how much was removed from my abdomen.
Was able to engage with my husband for 1st time since surgery & surprisingly it was Not painful at all.

Here is some before and afters.
Mild swelling but not surprised. Bruising where Lipo done is fading to a green color from purple.
No pain just some mild burning. Standing straighter with help of flexeril and Percocet.
No problems with nausea, eating, drinking, or going to bathroom.
Still sleep in recliner. Will transition in a week back to bed.
Follow up appt on 11/20 in afternoon. Probably get sutures removed.
Really is not as bad as I was perceiving it to be from other writers. No regrets on doing these procedures.
Can't hardly wait to get new bras, underwater and jeans.

I LOVE how well you are recovering! And yes, I'm being very optimistic given all the stories I'm reading...I guess we are all different but I'm hoping for an easier recovery. I go TOMORROW! So excited!

No pain meds since 1 week post op. About 2 weeks post op Stitches removed (last Monday) in Edina. They missed a few and my husband had to remove the rest. Started scar cream or biodermis scar strips to help fade the incisions yesterday. Swelling minimal if I take it easy. Plans to return to work this week on light duty (3 week post op). Wearing maiden form firm tummy control during the day and nothing at night.
This might be TMI... But sex with my husband is even more amazing when you feel even better about yourself.
