Mommy Makeover After Two Children via C-Section - Memphis, TN

I'm 5 weeks and one day post op today. I went to the doctor last Monday and he said that everything is healing nicely and that I can stop wearing my CG. YAY, or at least that's what my head screamed. Now I'm in swell hell so I'm going to start wearing it again and up my water intake and see if that helps the swelling go down. I don't go back until the middle of November. I posted some pictures of me at 4 weeks yesterday.

Also, he's not comfortable going back to Crossfit yet unless I can go "light" which is virtually impossible. I'm so afraid of messing up my tummy tuck that my husband and I have decided that it's probably best to wait the whole 8 weeks post op before trying to go back. I'm worried about my implants and my tummy tuck and what could happen if I do too much too soon. I guess I can kiss my 85# PR on my bench press and deadlifts goodbye for awhile but it's for the best.

I'm still tired all the time. I got 10 hours of sleep last night and could go back to bed. How long does this part last? I'm used to functioning on 6 or 7 hours so this is all very new to me.

15 Days Post Op - WOO HOO. I tried on clothes that I haven't been able to wear for years and they fit. I've gone down two skirt sizes and one pant size. It must be that the skirts rest higher than the pants do but I don't care. I can fix the pants not fitting once I get back into the gym in a couple of weeks. My large shirts (even with the new, big boobs) are ridiculously too big now and I've gone down to a medium. I'm so happy right now.

14 Days Post Op - I had my appointment Monday and the PS examined me. He said everything is looking good. I don't have to wear the CG at night and I can start wearing the Spanx during the day. I asked about the hardness of the scar tissue around my tummy tuck incision and he said to roll a plastic cup over it, back and forth to loosen it up some. The only real complaint I have is that this body feels strange to me. I'm hard in places that I used to be squishy. My husband is constantly telling me how "hot" I am and while ti's very flattering, frankly, I'm not used to it anymore. Going from no boobs to huge, firm boobs and from a big tummy w/a 4" diastasis gap to a firm tummy is playing tricks on my mind a little bit. I LOVE my body but my brain and emotions are not in the same place right now.

I guess that's all to update now. Except that I need to start using Maderma on my incisions soon. I go back on the 15th and I'll update after that. I'll try to get my husband to take new pics this week and post them.

And if you're reading this, don't misunderstand. I'm not regretting the tummy tuck or implants. The tummy tuck was medically necessary for me because of the hole in my tummy and the hernia. I made the right decision.
