Looking good! I too can't wait to get back to the gym.
How's recovery going?
It's going as it should. It's actually easier than I anticipated. My two weeks is Thursday so I hope to be back in the gym Friday. I will be taking it super easy and only doing mobility work at this point but god I'll be so happy to be back.
You aren't swollen at all! Or barely. Awesome
I feel like I'm still swollen. . But definitely a lot less in the morning! Everyday I've been trying to spend 20-30 min without the binder .. it's like my security blanket.
How long did your PS say you have to wear it? Are you wearing spanx instead?
At My 2 week I bought a new binder with 2 Velcro straps. Which I love and was worth it since I'm shorter and the original binder kept bunching. But I was told to wear it 23 hours out the day till the next time I see him ( 4 weeks will be my 6 week check up) are you already ready to get back into the gym? I was only cleared to walk and maybe my next appt he said I can start body weight workouts. My coach doesn't want me to rush anything either but dang!! My muscles are going away!
Nope. My two weeks is Thursday. So we will see then :)
How's the healing going? Have you been happy with your results?

I have my 2 week appt today and finally get the last drain out!! Hallelujah!!!
I finally weighed myself and my pre surgery weight was 56.6 kg (124.5lbs I'm a weightlifter so everything is in kilos here) and now I'm 55.8 kg (122.7lbs) I know that's my muscle mass I'm losing :( can't wait to get the ok to gym.
Only complaint I can say I have is the tingly sensation in my breast from I hope nerve regeneration!! Oh and the drain incision!
Still drinking my aminos daily!!

I was just thinking about how you were doing. Don't worry you will get to lift again. Muscle memory, remember!?! This is just a short period of time you are out of the gym. Then you will be forever back and PRing like before.
I miss it so much!! I am feeling a lot better!! The odd thing is that I was so worried about the tummy tuck but my breast is more sore. My tummy doesn't even bother me as long as I have my binder on. Right now I'm about a 34C full.
I bet. Pretty major stuff there.
Yay!! Congrats!!
I got on my scale yesterday. Down 3 lbs. not cool. Down 3% muscle and up 3% body fat. Gah!! Need my muscles back.
Nooooooo!!!!! We get back to it soon.. I know we'll gain the muscle back even faster this time. Are you still drinking your BCAA's?
I know we will. It's just sad lol. But it's worth it in the end. Yes I'm drinking BCAA everyday. I'm on my same meal plan just eating for non training days.

Day 7
Was finally cleared to take a real shower!! Even though today is day 8 and I feel completely different from the past week which was a blur.. I'm standing straight and able to walk around.
I'm only sore late in the evening and early in the morning when everything is all stiff I can almost sleep flat on my back but still prefer a pillow or two under my knees.
These are some photos I took before my shower. And I must say that shower did not feel as good as everyone says it does it was literally a quick wash and shampoo then jump out. I was so cold I started shaking from the shivers (I'm from Minnesota and its dead winter here) it took me maybe 10 min to just get clothes on. After that I think I'll need a chair to shower in for the next few times.
I was told to massage my breast and my incision under the breast. The sides are pretty sore and at times I wish I went a little smaller.
Oh and I only got 1 drain removed and it burned like a [RS bleep]!! But I'm glad it's out because the part where the drain was coming out of bothered me more than any of my incisions.

Looking good! Happy healing
You really look great! So thankful of what you wrote about the drains coming out. Everyone I saw wrote how they didn't hurt but mine did. The incision area bothered me too more than anything. So I thought I wasn't healing normal - but after reading your post I feel way better. Thank you for that! I had my surgery 1/17 - so not even two weeks out. Looking forward to reading about your progress!!
Oh girl trust me!! Every day slowly gets better! Finally hit my 3rd week and it's the most normal I've felt.. I had the drains removed 2 different times and the second one I was scared!! But it really didn't hurt like the first one which burned coming out.
So many shows to watch too. Lol.
