Surgery Day: went well Doctor and nurses kept me very calm and light spirited..my surgery was at 7 and I was home by noon. Only felt light-headed or nauseous just briefly during the day when I was up. My biggest issue was having to pee so often and having my husband help me get up..Seriously, unless I was asleep, I had to pee at least once per hour. Sleep wasn't easy because the pain medicine makes me dream and I startle myself awake.
PO day 1: bathroom frequency was less and on a scale of 1-10, I would rate it as a 7. Felt like I needed to have a bowel movement and have been on stool softeners starting several before surgery but they aren't helping. Took a laxative and still nothing.
PO Day 2: was able to get up by myself better last night so I didn't have to wake up my husband. It took a while but I did it slowly with very little pain.
Felt pretty good this morning, and had a doc appt to remove my dressings.
I got to see my new boobs for the first time and I am very excited about them even though I know they will fill out a little more and drop. My tummy is so flat! I'm a little swollen and I couldn't really see my i
Tummy tuck incision but it is lower than my csection scars and I am thrilled about that. They put me in a sports bra and a compress binder around my tummy and sent me on my way..I go back on Tuesday to hopefully get one drain out.
Was left alone for several hours so hubby could go to the office for a few hours and I did really well. I'm not ready to be alone for a full day but i can function somewhat for a few hours.
Tonight, I kind of panicked when hubby put neosporin on my drain sites (per. My doctor).. Supposed to shower tomorrow but now I am really nervous a out that. As of tonight, still haven't pooped!

I actually feel pretty good considering. I had a doc appt this morning and they took off my bandages. I got to see my boobs and so far, I really like what is see but they still have to fill out a little and drop some. My tummy is so small..I can't believe it! Worth it so far!

Woke up this morning in a lot more pain than the previous day. I guess I was on my feet too much yesterday so I took it easy but then the itching feeling under my binder started and I was not a happy camper! CSS
We decided to give me my first shower and not only is that kind an emotional and somewhat traumatic, but it is exhausting! Drains are lower now so hopefully I can get one out on Tuesday and the other on Tursday...fingers crossed!
