TT LIPO LIFT With FAT TRANSFER to breast on August 22

I just asked a couple of ladies directly but I would love to know from many how long the numbness remained in the stomach. How long till it didn't hurt to stretch I still have pain in the stomach area combined with numbness.

So I'm 4 weeks post healing well. Went back to work this past weekend. I have two days off and back Wednesday Boy did that wipe me out. Still tired today. This morning I have a rash above TT line. I want to scratch my skin off. I don't know if it's from wearing the CG for three days, the biocorneum cream or the Tylenol. So I put Benadryl cream on it and took a Benadryl Back to a beach coverup and staying home today. My skin has always been sensitive. Thank god not as bad as my mom. Never could stand tight clothes or anything on tummy. Good news my weight is fluctuating between 140-143. Haven't been that light in years. Have been 150-156. Hope I can stay there. A better weight for me. It is so hard to lose past "the change " it started raining so I hope it lasts a while. Won't be so bummed about being stuck home again. Need to take something to take edge off of pain but kind of afaid to use anything right now. My go back to plain old aspirin I usually stick with that anyway. No more Tylenol for me.

I no longer post much. Not much to say. I am three weeks post. It is still a bit hard to get around and I am going to bed early every day. I go back to work Saturday and sunday 12 hour shifts so I got a few days to get it together. This Thursday I go to my side job but will only be there a few hours this time to slowing get back into the swing of things. I made plans to go to lunch with my girlfriend so I hope i survive the day. This is a hour drive both ways. I have Friday to recuperate as I used one last vacation day so I did not start back with 3 days in a row. I was told it has been busy so I hope that changes by then. After that it is back to routine. Labor day weekend was my first venture out. Hubby took me out shopping etc on saturday and sunday. On monday I decided to pull weeds in the yard and fertilize my plants. After all that activity I paid for it on Tuesday. Hubby was out of town last week for work so I was also on my own. He was so worried about me. He didn't want me to drive or go anywhere. I told him I need to start venturing out but would stay close to home. He said I am only a few hours away so call if you need me and I will come home. I was fine. I have been on the hunt for a spanx type CG I can tolerate. It has been very difficult. Everyone has that thing on their body they don't like messed with . Me its my tummy. Yeh even hubby said i can't believe you did this when you won't even let me touch your stomach. Me either. I could never stand support hose for that reason. I mostly wear the binder but I don't think that will work well at work under my clothes. I have purchased several different ones and think I finally found one but its not for 12 hours. I quit wearing to bed a couple of nights ago as I feel my skin is too irritated and needed a break. I have had no swelling so I think it will be OK. I do have swelling on the left breast still. I talked to doc office yesterday and was told it can take 4-6 weeks for it to go down so not to worry. I was never given a time frame at last appointment so needed to check. I don't go back till oct 13 so wanted to be sure. No infection no problems I can see. I'm just waiting for the glue to come off. As soon as it does I can start scar therapy. As I said before I don't think the arnica does anything, but I did buy a stretch mark cream when I got the scar treatment. My stretch marks really look bad since surgery. I never had kids, but was a fat little kid and did not lose weight till high school so I did get stretch marks. Hope it helps a little. I tried to take some pics this morning, but don't know how well they will post. Most of my bruising is gone,but when i look where the CG is it looks like a bit of bruising. This is also why I am only wearing daytime.
I also feel like my tummy is sucking in. You know how it feels when you hold in your stomach? That started last week for a couple of days and again today. I think its the closing of the tunnels made by the lipo???? Just my option . I am also down to141 as of this morning. I have not tried to lose weight, but I am not eating much. Of course I'm not doing much. My appetite may return as I start working. I was 156 at the beginning of the year. Too much for me. I tried to stay 150 tops. I guess this is a good side effect if it lasts.
Tomorrow I am going to get a haircut, then a pedi/mani. Thats something I rarely do but cant do my own feet right now. Clothes shopping will not be for sometime. I'll be back in scrubs anyway. I did find an old knit dress as I was packing. Think I mentioned we are getting ready to list our house and build. It did look pretty good. I just my be wearing it to my hubbys company christmas party this year. Still need to get the veracious veins fixed . Had planned that this winter before all this so i have to find out how long I should wait.
Overall, I am getting better day by day. More pain and soreness then I was hoping for at this time. Wish I could be off a bit longer but I was lucky to get this much time off at work at one time. Sticking to a low sodium diet which I think helps a lot. Drinking my protein drink still. Increasing my activity but not being stupid. I won't lift more then i'm suppose to.
I did go out and buy a mattress topper. This is something I was never interested in. MY back had pressure points that were killing me. Got a great deal on it and it seems to help. Still not really able to lay on sides. Its the incision ends of the TT that hurt, but try eveyday now for a bit. Of course since it is so thick I had to go out and get deeper sheets . Got a great deal on those too. With Kohls 5 miles from my house they have been getting my business.
Hope everyone is doing well, healing well. To those who are getting ready to start, Its not for the faint of heart thats for sure. I never planned on doing this. I was happy with my old lady bod, but think in the long run I will be happy. Because I was a fat kid, I never had a flat stomach even when I weighted 118 in collage. Hubby getting randy so got to get healing HAHAHA
