feeling happy and crappy

So I am of course much more pleased then ever before with my new body. I feel like I have been getting the blues lately though . I have not been eating so great and had some coctails the last cpl weekends and I swear I ...feel like I have fat collecting above my belly button where I am pointing in the pics . Idk if its swelling but I have a feeling its not between all my eating and so on. Sighs* idk if I am trippin but not feeling so good about it :'(

Hang in there hun! You look amazing to me!...I know my doc advised me once I have my procedure to avoid alcohol for 6 weeks....also he said to try to stay away from sodium....other than that I don't know what to say....but I do live your results!! I'm going in May 6th....so for now I can't comment much on something I did not experience yet.....hugs to you!
Thank you :)
You look great!! Swelling is normal for several months, emotions are normal too,lol! Don't sweat the small stuff, eat healthy and don't "stress" it doesn't do your body good!
Thank you
No way sweetly that is just swelling. Totally doesn't look like fat. Swelling and water retention can last for a few months after surgery. A couple bad meals and drinks won't cause long term damage and totally ok while recovering. Gotta have something pleasurable while you are so uncomfortable. Really liked the diet advice I got from a book I read, "it's not about what you don't eat but what you do". So look at it like a debt you have to pay back with fruits and veggies not something to feel guilty about :)
Thank you :)
You look so amazing! I think the area you're talking about just looks like swelling. I wouldn't worry much about it, I bet over the next few months it'll be flat as a board. :) Increase water, decrease sodium, tighter compression. See if that helps.
Thanks ... I swear it looks worse now :(
You look amazing how are you feeling

second day back @ work

Second day back at work man ... It's hard to return after a week off ... I'm like eww I forgot I do this every day .. But my pay check sure wont be happy after that missing week.. Here's some snaps of the girls .. I feel like one boob is bigger than the other but idk if its too early to tell since they are not settled . To my surprise all my clothes still fit my boobs so far .. Only one thing actually instead of getting bigger shirts I think I might have to get smaller shirts .. Or fitted to be exact .. I was wearing a size small shirt and it fit still but it had a curtain hang cause my boobs are big . Everything will have to be fitted .there's a pic as well of how I wear my drains to work in a nifty purse lol I'm hoping I will get my drains out tomorrow or this week when I see my Dr. I have been draining between 20-25 ea drain for the last 2 days .. After my drains are out can I sleep on my side ?

Pain is gone ! I'm all back to normal I got my drains taken out Thursday felt weird but not painful like I had imagined . It was pretty quick. It seemed like once they came our my scar started healing all faster and is starting to get les scabby and lighten up.i went shopping with out my binder and wore a above the knee tight dress to the market and oh boy ! My hubby told me he didn't want me pushing the basket cause it was to much work ! Lmao I'm like really in 6 years now u wanna push my basket ? Hah hah and he would even let me put anything on the conveyor belt.. He said u just relax I don't want u stressed ill do it ..im like who are u !? Ppl were turning heads left and right he didn't wat to let me down and aisle by myself he was following me everywhere lmao . Ppl gave us parking !? And I got free gas ! I'm like realm I've been missing out on this my whole life jeez ...hahah...my man tells me at least 15x aa day how great I look .. So wow is this bod payn off lmao .m boobs are getting softer and dropping a little bit more pain is minimal hurts a lil to try and lay on my side cause The pressure of the implants hang to one side other then that ...you will see its totally gnna be worth it !
You're a beast at recovery. I hope I feel like you after my surgery.
