Well well, I've been having Internet issues. A couple of weeks ago a storm came in our area and it took out the satellite that provides our internet. I believe it's fixed now and I have some video to post, however I'm on my mobile now and do not want to eat up my data so I will st those next time I'm home.
So I am 6 weeks post op now. At 5 weeks I did a little shopping. I purchased 3 pairs of jeans in a size 5. They are getting loose already! This tickles me as in January 2012 I was a size 16. I was a size 8-10 depending on manufacturer when I went into surgery in September. I got on the scales today and I have lost 10 pounds since my September surgery date. I have not been trying to loose anymore, I started to but my husband told me to hold off going on a diet because I was still craving fruits and veggies. He felt I needed to heal more before I dieted.
I have stopped wearing my garments. At first my stomach had a lot of muscle spasms. That has gone away. Nothing too bothersome, it just felt weird. I took a low dose muscle relaxer and all was right with the world! I will keep my shape wear. I may need it again! Who knows what I'll do next! And it never hurts for a girl to have a little shape wear in her arsenal of attire anyway!
I'm feeling great!! I just keep shrinking!!! I have an appointment November 5th with a PS about my breast. It's just a consultation to see how I can get the girls back in good standing order and determine if I will need a little prosthetic help to get the round cartoon boobs I would like to have. I do not want more size or less size. They just need lifted and rounded out. This girl is dying to wear those cute tops that you can't wear a bra with!!

Well I am 11 days post op. yesterday I had my staples removed from the site I had the skin removal. My doctor provided me with my before pictures as well as a full page with 2 pictures of the skin he removed. I am mostly relying on my VLOG to document this so if your reading this you may wish to click on my youtube video and go to my chanell to get the most up to date information.
I am still at home. I sleep a LOT! So we decided it was best for me to remain off work for a few more days and when I return I will be just a little over two weeks post op. I am going to ask that my boss allow me to start out slow and work me back up to a full driving period over a few weeks time. I just think that driving a full 11+ hour shift starting out may be a bit much with the tiredness I experince. It seems that I fatigue quite fast these days and require a little more rest time. ALSO, I am the night shift driver, I drive from 5PM to 5AM and while I have been off I have had no pattern at all to my rest periods. I will be working on that however over the next few days so I can get my pattern as close to normal as I can.
Currently I have steril strips supporting the site where my staples were. I have been asked to wear these for the 5 days following the time she placed them. After those are removed I will start to wear silicone strips that are made for C-sections. I will have to apply two strips whereas someone with a C-section would use one. The reason for this is my scar goes from hip to hip.
I am wearing jeans now. Not for long periods, but for a couple of hours at a time. I have been wearing a size 8 with a belt. Size 10 with a belt in some brands. I have weeded out many pairs of jeans from my closet, and I do not have many more left in there! Sooooo... I will be doing some shopping. Another thing I am having to try on and phase out is shirts. Now that I do not have much of a stomach, many of my shirts just hang. So I will be purging many of those as well.
I really need to get back to work, being at home seems to be very expensive for me. I have discovered shop at home! I normally shop online and from books that arrive in the mail, but I am doing that PLUS watching these TV stations that are selling things! Needless to say I have completed a great portion of my Christmas shopping list! But now I need to go to work and give my credit cards a break. I swear smoke was wafting from them the other night!
Thats all I have for now. Watch my VLOG and watch here for updates. So far I am very satisfied with me results. I see my doctor again in 6 weeks and then not again until 6 months as long as things are still on track.
