It Wraps!!!

So my favorite moments are the ones where I notice something small I haven’t noticed yet. Like today when I got out of the shower, my towel fully wrapped around me, no gap, no sucking in, just easily fully wrapped around. And I’m falling more in love with my body everyday. This is life changing. I’m so grateful

I'm starting to feel amazing. Here's the rundown. 10 inches off my waist, From a 26 to a 20 in jeans. From a 22 in dresses to a 16/18. Still swollen so more to come! I went to a conference last week and got to show off my body to people that had not seen me in a while and finally I got the “OMG girl how much weight have you lost”. It just makes you feel good. I’m so excited for where I’m at and even more excited for my next surgery to remove the flanks, reduce thighs, and remove arm fat. This has been SO worth it and I would not hesitate to do it again!

Week 4 PO

So seriously the last two weeks have been hard. I was so not prepared for the emotions this brings. I did not understand enough about the swelling, and about the potential complications. I thought I would have surgery and 2 weeks later I'd be good and on with life. I told myself and others I was prepared for a 6 week recovery but in hindsight I was not.
I'm so lucky that I have Amy from my surgeons office. She has been my rock, and I adore her. No matter how down I've gotten she has been there to lift me up and today I'm happy to announce I feel great and the drainage has finally stopped!!
So I have some open holes, but the wound care is not that bad, and I'm feeling much flatter. I feel so much better, I feel amazing!! Still take 3 pain pills each day and started back on antibiotics just to make sure the wounds do not get infected.
Some swelling still to go down, but it feels so good to have all that bulge be gone.

I have yet to post MY story here but I am getting prepared for a Breast Reduction at the end of March. I came across your story while looking at my realself inbox tonight. Your journey really hit home. I am also a Big lady....lost 60 lbs in 2011 and then was hit in my car by a Semi truck. This left me with a handful of diagnoses that I had not had before. Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Myofascial, Depression, IBS, Diverticulosis, weight gain etc. I just had a Hysterectomy in Nov 2017....there were a lot of adhesions and I came out of surgery with a big drain and complications after surgery. I wanted to share with you that I still have swelling in my abdomen especially on the side where my drain was and my surgery was not even close to how traumatic yours was. I think that you look absolutely amazing after your tummy tuck. I feel that this is a wonderful way of treating yourself with how far you have come (Awesome job on the 60 lbs!!!!) and also for your future endeavour of getting even healthier. It will serve you well to not have excess skin in the way when you are exercising as well. I also know when I lost my weight I still looked in the mirror and saw that big girl even though I had done so well. It is really HARD to let go of that BIG girl thought process that haunts us. From one BIG girl to another I wanted to say be patient to my realself friend from afar.....she has accomplished 2 very big accomplishments towards becoming a healthy person.....she has what it takes.....and she WILL get there in time. Take care and enjoy that beautiful new tummy.
