Mommy makeover at 46 - I just can't wait to see my bod in the summer

Mommy Make over at 46

WORTH IT
I have been wanting a tummy tuck for years. I run and work out at least 5 days a week yet there is nothing I could do for my loose belly skin and the stretch marks that come along with having kids. I have 2 teenage girls and now that I am done with children i said it was time. I started off with a small 34B and aiming for a C. I won't really know until they settle down the cup size, which i believe it can take 6-12 months. Because one is bigger than the other I have to different CC's in to balance them out. I have 350cc's in one and 320cc's in the other. I also went with a moderate profile.It has been 3 days post op today. I can say I have been doing pretty good considering what I went through. I do have a pain ball to help and have some medication. But I am not really in much pain. I do walk hunched over but I am supposed to awhile. So far, it has been a good experience. Love my doctor and the staff, they made me feel comfortable and trusting. I just can't wait to see my bod in the summer! I have added some before and afters.

I am still feeling great. Stopped all pain medicine on day 4, now I just take tylenol if needed. I had my 1-week appointment today and it went great! i’m healing perfectly. My wonderful nurse said that I will be able to run/walk in 2 weeks instead of 5weeks, which makes me feel much better. I just can’t do ab work or lift weights till I see the doc at my 1 month visit in nov 4th.
The nurse removed my tape and replaced it with new tape, and this should fall off on its own. My drain comes out Thursday. I still have to wear my waist strap everyday, all day for 2 more weeks. I need to wear a sports bra everyday and the band pushing my implants down I wear only at night now. I can start sleeping on my side sometimes which is a relief for me.
Otherwise pretty smooth. I am very happy with results so far. I added a couple new pics I took today before my appointment.

Today marks 2 weeks since my mommy makeover.
I can get in and out of bed, sleep on my side, walk a bit faster, stand up a little taller.
I got my drain out yesterday, which was a relief.
I went back to work today too. Thank goodness it is a desk job because I get tired pretty easy even on small tasks.
I know i am impatient, as most of us are in this case, but i cant wait for my breasts to fluff, so, I massage extra everyday. I can now take the tape off of my breast scars and lotion them.
My tummy looks flat and pretty smooth. I wear the tape till it falls off on its own.
My next appointment is my 30day, with my doc. Looking forward to it. I will update then.
