Tummy Tuck with muscle repair and lipo on sides - Los Angeles, CA

I'm a couple days away from surgery, and starting to get more excited then nervous. I'm ready to get it over with so I can sleep and stop obsessing over it. I came down with a sore throat over the weekend, and a little nervous about recovery. I've gone back and forth with my decision on this, and I hope I've made the right decision.

Kind of in shock how normal I feel. I came home from surgery and had some chicken broth with a piece of toast, and then a piece of toast later and a protein shake. I slept great, besides waking up at 4am to pee. Only pain I get is when I first standup and then I'm good. Of course being hunched over on the walk to the bathroom is a little annoying, but I feel pretty good overall. Today I had scrambled eggs with a half of a sweet potato for breakfast, followed by a beet/carrot/ginger juice, and then chicken soup with saltines for lunch. I've read that day 3 is the "bad" day. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing :)

Healing has been a little more extensive then I originally thought, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I went in thinking I would have this massive ugly scar, but my doc did an amazing job! I still have a lot of swelling in my belly, and my belly button is not so pretty at this point. I'm hoping the belly button will heal up fast and I can move on from this.
