I have been wanting a mommy makeover for 22 years, I have three AMAZING adult children, I have had a lot of ups and downs with my weight over the years, I had decided when I was 44 that I was going to do this for myself at age 45: I worked out at the gym and eating a healthy lifestyle I had lost 55 pounds and kept it off for over a year, I am 5’4 168 lbs, I had surgery June 14th 2018 my plastic surgeon was Audrey Farahmand in Ft Myers FL, she and her staff are amazing. Dr Farahmand gave me the results I was looking for. So so so happy with my results

After three weeks I can stand up straight. Still have a little discomfort on the abdomen but occasional Tylenol helps. My abdomen is still a little swollen. I had Lipo of the flanks and they are still tender and a little bumpy but my ps said to message the area gently in a hot shower. Since doing that the bumps post Lipo are decreasing. The breast augmentation looks great . I have very little discomfort once in a while muscle spasms but that is when I am doing dishes or laundry. My second drain was removed on June 29th. I am sleeping through the night. I still get tired easily mostly at around 6pm. Usually after a day of doing 2 small loads of laundry and making breakfast lunch and dinner. I do sit down in between. At 6pm I am ready to do nothing but sit. I still ware my binder and sleep in my recovery bra at night .
Prior to surgery, I am in the medical field and have a very physical job that I walk between 3 to 4 mile a day according to my Fitbit. I was also at the gym 3 to 4 time a week lifting weights and doing 30 min of cardio after work. Soooo I said all of that to say this ...... the inactivity is hard. I want to go to the gym and walk but I can’t get my heArt rate up or do purposeful exercise per ps until 6 weeks post op. That is messing with my emotions. I only took 6 weeks off work and I wanted at least a week to get my stamina back... so I am Alitalia worried about that. I see my ps for a 4 wk f/u on July 11. Hope she will let me do some exercise. So a week ago I decided to wear my Fitbit and gradually increase my steps. I am between about 2k to 4K a day. Just around the house or shopping. That has helped me mentally.

So hoppy your recovery is going so well, and super smart that you are building up your strength with walking before returning to work. I am a labor and delivery nurse and pretty much did not do a lot of moving around before going back to work. I took seven weeks off in this past week was my first week back. I did fairly well but by the end of the shift boy I was hurting quite a bit. In my back mostly, still trying to figure out exactly what to wear during my shift as far as my garment and I even put my binder on top of it. Tonight will be my third shift of work, and hoping that each shift gets better and easier. :-)

Hi Laurazs thanks for the comment. Your words are very encouraging. You are doing great!!!!! You work 12 hours and I only work 8. YOU’RE A ROCK STAR!!!!!!. I have ordered a support garment off amazon. I went for a very slow walk yesterday 4.5 Miles took me 1.5 hours. I also ordered a binder off of amazon and I wore it walking and it helped me a lot. I also wear it around the house when I do house work. I too got pain in my back. But I mostly get pain in the front of my abd on the right side of my belly button. Hoping titis gets better soon. I have 10 days to go before I go back to work. I plan on doing what you did and wear my support garment and my binder under my scrubs along with OTC Tylenol or Ibuprofen if needed. I am an radiologic technologist. I will attach photos of my binder so you can see it in case you are interested. Congratulations on your recent surgery. Thanks for the words of wisdom. I will take them.
