July 1st Tummy Tuck W Lipo..so Far So Good :)

Still loving my results money well spent. It's so nice to be able to by clothes and not have to worry about belly fat!

I am doing better each day. Today I had a shower and did fine. I have been taking stool softeners just to be safe the nurse at the drs office suggested for comfort. I have noticed less drainage in my drain bulbs. I was initally worried about being able to go back to work 11 days post op. I dont think i will have any trouble at all other than my back hurting from hunching over i am pretty much pain free. I havent taken many of my pain pills today. 3 more days and i have my steristrips changed. I think she also said remove stitches. most dissolve maybe she was speaking of the drain stiches?

Yoga Pants have been awesome for my drains. I keep the drain bulbs right inside where you can fold your pants down perfect:) Today is MOnday I had the surgery on friday. I am finding everyday is getting easier to move around. I am still in the recliner and wearing the pain pump. I think today is the last day for meds to come out. Its quite possible it has already run out. I am not going to take any chance of missing out on the meds. I will leave it in until tonight. THe pain pump has worked out great. I have had very little pain. I am taking my perocet every 4 hours. The pain pump is in a small fanny bag type thing that i throw away when finshed. One more thing to worry about knocking when moving around otherwise I have been pain free I would go for the pump again. I am a little concerned about haing a bowl movement. The nurse suggested i take a stool softener and i have taken a few but no movement yet. a little worried when i do.
