35 Year Old Mama of Three - Eugene, OR

I wanted to get my tummy back. I worked out everyday and still had lots of loose skin and large diastis. It was very depressing. I also had small flat droopy breast from breastfeeding my three small children. So far I'm pleased with the results. My belly looks much flatter and my breasts are very full and flattering. I am looking forward to the final result.

Feeling pretty good. Still sleeping in the recliner. Down to only a half pain med twice per day. Boobs are looking pretty good. Hoping they'll soften real soon. Still have swelling in the tummy. Can't wait for that to go away!

Hey Everyone! Tomorrow will be two weeks since my surgery and I'm starting to be able to do more and more. I hate all the stiffness and and soreness as I'm usually a very active person and it's hard for me to slow down. Is it normal to still have swelling in the boobs? I know the tummy tuck is gonna take longer, just wondering if others still have swollen boobs after two weeks. My implants are under the muscle so I know that also take longer to heal. Yesterday was a big day for me. We drove a hundred miles each way to visit my sister, in the hospital, who just given birth. I still walked slightly hunched in the hospital and noticed lots of tightening when I was on my feet very long. I was afraid I might have overdone it when I got home last night as everything was sore and my skin felt raw. But I got up this morning, and, other than a tight back, (still sleeping in the recliner) and sore boobs, I felt pretty good. I have family coming this weekend so I hope I feel good and don't overdue. I always overdid myself after procedures in the past, (c-section and laparoscopy) and this time I'm determined to take it easy and heal right! I would love to be feeling great by mid June. We have a family reunion just after that time and my daughter will be out of school by then. That will be four weeks post surgery for me, so fingers crossed! I am looking forward to softer boobs and to being able to work out again! I've gained five pounds due to eating foods others prepare for me instead of eating the way I normally do and due to not exercising. Not too worried, just don't want to gain any more. My TT incision is looking pretty good. I was pretty scared if it at first. My PS says to leave the tape in until it comes off on its own. The tape is starting to come off and it looks better than I had guessed it would. I haven't seen my breast incisions yet, as the tape is staying on them quite well. That's all I have to report for now. I will try to get more pictures in a couple days. Also, I am needing another bra. My surgical bra is no longer confortable. Can anyone recommend a good one? I'm home a lot so an at home type bra that is great for healing would be ideal!
