So Far So Good!

So far everything has gone really well. I have wanted a tummy tuck for almost 20 years. For the past 4 years I have consistently been working out and although my muscle definition everywhere else has improved my momma pooch didn’t budge. I am 5’8” and 157 pounds. My surgery was just a few days ago (7/26) so too soon for a review on results. I can say that all of the staff at Granite Bay Cosmetic Surgery Center are very nice and professional. I’m really not in much pain- just sore and tired.

Today is post-op day 4 for me. It has really been smooth sailing for me; I even took a shower last night. Admittedly, that sucked and was totally draining. I think the worst part was getting the dang nabbed compression garment back on. Only fly in my ointment has been the lack of number 2. Despite popping Colace several times a day and eating lots of fruit- nothin. So yesterday around 9 I took a Dulcolax. Holy Toledo! Woke up around 4 with my stomach rumbling. Got to the toilet and I swear it was the worst part of all of this by far! My muscles were on fire, I was having hot and cold flashes, I poured sweat...but I did it! That experience was bad enough that I swore I’d stop taking the Percocet and Flexeril!
On the bright side, I did get a photo yesterday before my shower.

Beware doing too much! I’ve felt so good (even 4 days out) that I decided to walk the block to my mailbox with my son. On the way back he was almost fully supporting me -I was leaning on him so much! All bad- I am wiped out!
