Time to do something for ME :) 29 Year Old- 2 kids- 163lbs -5’4

Feeling alittle better about everything. Wish I had a stronger pain med- I should call.

Funny story happened, when I woke up this day, I was swearing up and down that I still had the SAME BOOBS that I had when I walked in there. Everyone disagreed with me so I was hoping I was wrong. I think because they weren’t in any pain, my arms didn’t hurt either.

Showered today Dec3.2018- It was amazing. It was only a very quick one to wash my body because it was very exhausting.

Talk about needing pain pills!! The norco that was prescribed didn’t seem to work either. I rewrapped my breasts and around my tummy tuck incision.

Had a brief moment of “Holy Moly” because I was
A. Missing a tattoo, which was discussed and agreed upon way before surgery. B. There weren’t any piercings on my belly button anymore. (Also discussed) I absolutely love my new belly button? C. Are these mine?

Most of my friends and family knew that I had gone through surgery so it seemed to a never ending range of calls and texts from several people. Which was kind but I was so tired and had no appetite.

Made it to bathroom by myself -sat down did my thing. Focused on using my legs only instead of my abdominal muscles. Seemed to help tremendously.

I was alittle shocked from the bruises on my behind but completely expected them to be there. This was discussed in my pre-op and with the amount of surgery I was getting I thought they would definitely be there. It didn’t bother me.

This was quite interesting. I felt amazing when I woke up. (I know I was in quite a bit of drugs.) I had to eat something small, pee, drink water before I could leave. I was able to do all of these so I was told I could leave about 45 min after I woke up.

To wear out of the hospital, I brought a moo moo shirt that was long enough to cover my backside and could easily be put over my head or pulled up over my legs. I? also brought a button up night gown and a fluffy robe. I? chose the moo moo and the robe.

Now here, is where I struggled and started to get sick. I sat up on the bed and my mom helped me get my legs over the side. My feet were about 3 inches off the ground but every-time I? tried to stretch down to the floor, my body was on fire.

I? went from being happy to unbearable pain for a brief moment. My mom and my nurse helped me walk out. They weren’t a fan of me walking but I didn’t want to have to sit down get up and sit down in the car and then get up.

I don’t remember the drive home which was bout 20 min from my house. I am super glad that I gave my mom the house code number BEFORE surgery.

I was able to go the bathroom painfully and get in my recliner painfully.
