Extended tummy tuck and lipo of flanks

Yesterday was the first day I felt great. I’m walking around way more ( standing a little straighter ) and took no pain medication. Had a home care nurse tell me that my drains can come out Saturday which I’m excited for and super scared at the same time. Does anybody HATE their binder ? Causes me so get itchy Indentations, always sliding up and making my circulation feel funny. So I bought a foam board to try and keep the same compression but the garment itself from making marks on my skin. The whole day was great. But come bed time when I was trying to sleep I randomly felt nauseous and took an anti nausea pill. Which for whatever reason made me body all ti tingly and numb ? And I got zero sleep at all. Here’s to another day hopefully of no pain.

Little update of the days cause I started late.
Day 1 was hell- after surgery in the hospital I was okay and felt quite good. The second I got home my entire body ached. Going to the bathroom took two people and a cane. Sitting and rising was excruciating. Couldn’t eat anything cause everytime I did I just threw it up.
Day 2. Was pretty much the same I found it almost impossible to walk even just to get to the bathroom. My incision site felt like it was on fire ( yes I was hunched over ) and I just was miserable.
Day 03 was a little better I forced myself to walk around the house a bit but my back muscles hurt the most than they ever had in my life. Sitting down in the same spot for longer than 2 hours hurt my butt. Lots and lots of naps. And I finally migrated to the couch which was oddly more comfortable than my bed. My drains almost stopped draining and have turned a yellow colour so I’m hoping to get this out ASAP because they’re super annoying.
Day 04 was a bit better with pain management I can walk more places around my house without help but I get out of breath easy and my back is still in a lot of pain. I had trouble staying awake today and slept almost the whole day. I’ve started rubbing arnica gel on my back and tummy to help with the swelling.

I just recently completed my tummy tuck, wanting to make some updates to see if my recovery is similar to other people!? Cause I'm strugggglllliinngg. In 2017 I weighed the most I ever had at 266 lbs and in a year and a half I got down to 145 lbs with a weight loss of around 120. I was left with a substantial amount of loose skin and finally decided to get a tummy tuck.
