New Me in 2011 - Moore, OK

3 weeks and 4 days Post-op.....I feel amazing. I have so much self-confidence. I wanna do more and interact more w/others. I feel like I look great in everything. The best part is even though I only got a TT w/lipo...it also looks like I got a boob job too! I already had DD's, so I look thin with ginormous boobies :) I am in the same size pants, but I am wearing medium tops and dresses. I'm down 10 lbs, and my PS said if I lose another 10 lbs I will look even more amazing. So, I am eating right, and I am going to start doing P90X for my legs and arms. Hopefully I'll be down the last 10 lbs by August!

I went out to the club on Saturday w/a group of friends and I am going to post pics of me in my new (Size Medium) BCBG dress! Thank goodness my tummy was super flat that night, because sometimes I swell. Last week I was really constipated for some reason, and I looked about 5 months pregnant, and I was freaking out that I was getting fat again! LMAO...yeah, well, after I went to the bathroom I lost about 5 lbs haha! I haven't been on here as much, because I have been busy enjoying life, shopping, and finishing up my Masters program.

I am still wearing a binder when I'm at home and at night, but when I go out somewhere I just wear my spanx. I am also still taking my vitamin packs and 2000 mg of Vitamin C...and I will start using my scar care stuff soon. I have my 4 week post-op follow-up on Thursday. Hopefully the fluid that was there is gone. I finally got to have sex (didn't realize how much I missed that lol), and I am sleeping on my side and my stomach (which is how I LOVE to sleep)! I have been standing up-right since day 7. I still have some scabs on my belly button, but that's about it. I am soooo happy I did this. I feel like a new woman!

This was the LONGEST week of my life! Had another follow-up today (exactly one week PO), and my tummy tuck scar is completely closed!!! How insane is that?! Dr. said I look great, and will have amazing results. Took some stitches out, and my tape off my tummy tuck scar. I have some fluid, but my Dr. told me to wear my binder 24/7 to help w/that. I am almost standing up straight. He took off 5lbs w/lipo and tummy tuck combined, and I'm actually down 10 lbs! My appetite is really good, but I eat tons of fruit and veggies and protein. My bruising is so light. I feel awesome...I actually drove today...yippeee!!! Still get tired out, but I make sure to lay down and rest as long as I need to when that happens. I really think the Make Me Heal vitamins can be attributed to my fast recovery (healing), and being very athletic before surgery! The only problem I have is diarrhea caused by taking the antibiotic; Keflex. But, the Dr. said that is normal, and it will go away. Adding some pictures I took today :)

Sorry I missed updating yesterday...we were trying not to get blown away by tornados here in OK! Our city/neighborhood was right in the path of the tornado, somy husband loaded all of us up, and drove us down to Texas to his dad's house. Note to self: install storm/tornado shelter ASAP!!!

Yesterday was day 5, and WoW...I felt amazing! Slight soreness where the did the Muscle repair when I woke up, but that's it. Had a hardcore appetite too!

Today is day 6, and I feel and look AMZAZING!!! Screw the modesty crap lol....cannot wait to wear my bikini!!!! Took a shower, not leaking fluid, so I don't have to wear maxi pads underneath my garment or the foam pad...ugh! Have my smaller binder on, and I'm wearing normal clothes...the view from the back is quite nice! LOL

Weighed myself..even though I know I shouldn't...down to 174...that's exactly 10 lbs from the day I had surgery...hoping to settle in the low 160s :)
