I'm about 3 days post op and doing ok. The first few days were really difficult though. I'm staying at my moms house because she has a nice tempur pedic bed that adjusts up and down, kind of like a hospital bed. I seriously don't know how I would be able to get in and out of bed if I didn't have this one.

2nd post op appointment
So today I had my second post op appointment. Everything looks great but he wants to keep the drain in for a little longer. I go back on Friday and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll want to take it out then. I'm a full time student and I really would love to get back to class on Saturday morning. I suppose I could just hide the drain under a hoodie or something. My pain isn't too terrible today but having to be up and about just made me really exhausted.
I'm going to post up all my before pics right now and then one that I took post op. I hope you enjoy :)

Here's my tummy on day 5 and I'm totally in love! I feel like I made the best decision of my life. I have very little swelling, if any at all but my abs are still very sore and it's still pretty hard to get in and out of bed. Today I wanted to shower but I really wanted to shave my legs and knew I couldn't in the shower so my mom has a really big open bath tub so I sat in there and just let the water run and washed myself and shaved my legs while sitting in the tub. It was super relaxing.
I hope all you other tt mamas are doing well!! :)

You look fantastic hon! May I add what a tough cookie too ;)
I go Tuesday and I am very afraid of the postop pain, how bad is it? What can I expect??

Thanks! :) I was really afraid of the post op pain as well and I won't lie it's not very fun at all. Just make sure you're keeping up with your pain meds also talk to your ps before if you can about how much is safe for you to take. For me personally the "recommended" dose was not enough to even make me comfortable so after the first night laying awake in pain I talked to my ps and he told me how much more I could safely take at a time and it seriously made all the difference in the world. Also be super careful getting in and out of bed and have someone help you each time if you can. Make sure you're squatting with your legs when you need to sit on the toilet or get in and out of bed. I just kept telling myself that there are tons of other women that have done this and have gotten through it so I can too! Good luck and ask any more questions if you have them I'm more than happy to help in anyway I can :)
