Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Manitoba, Canada

Hey Girlies,

I just updated my pics for 4 weeks PO. Just as a side note, I have also lost 12 pounds since the moment before surgery...so 6 pounds from surgery and another 6 on my own! upper excited. It has inspired me to keep watching my portions and staying away from the pop (which is a HUGE win for me...I LOVE my Pepsi!) It is starting to look like I just might break the 200lb mark before I return to work! Now how cool is that! I am super duper excited! I haven't been below 200lbs since durng my first pregnancy and that was 8+ years ago! AH WOO HOO!!!

Hey all...so...I'm not too sure how I feel today. Kinda not great. The last couple of days I think that I over did things and now that is haunting me. I know that I am only 3 weeks PO, but because I was feeling so much better, I ended up taking on too much at once. My tummy is screaming at me now and so therefore I am going to try and take it easier this weekend. I also am going to update my pics on this 3 week aniversary. Please ladies let me know what you think...I still have the buldges on the hip incisions, but I suppose that is swelling. It seriously looks like one breast is way largr than the other, which sucks. I did have a diference pre-surgery, but was hoping that I would be more "even" if you will after. Feeling kinda bummed out especially after looking at the pictures. I just want to cry :( Anyhow, for the most part my incision are looking good, though my belly button is still pretty gross, it doesn't hurt though, and it isn't oozing so I;m not concerned with infection...could be that my body in that area is not happy with having the stitches there...anyway, I hope you all are having a great today. And if I don't post on Sunday, Happy Mom's Day to you all!!

Hello Ladies!
Well today is officially me 14 days PO. Feeling awesome! Just got back from my PS office and had another check. Had the ends of my stitches and any that were sticking out clipped and was cleared for an excercise bra, spanx, and silicone cream once the last of the scabs fall away. So excited about that! As much as I have come to rely on my compression garments, it will be nice to put something on that is a little bit less bulky so that I can begin to look more like the new me, without all the bulk. So that being said, what is everyone's recommendations with regards to the silicone creams? or sheets? Which have you found to be better? and where do you get them from? My PS office also sells a silicone cream, but seeing as I won't be back to the city for a month for my next check up and I wasn't interested in buying it today...no use having something taking up space when I don't need it yet, I figured if I ordered it online, then at least I would get it when I need it :) Anywho, so excited for the next steps! I will post pics tomorrow! TTYL!
