Ok I am 18 days PO. I am adding pics of my slightly swollen belly--or incredibly swollen depending on who you ask. As well as a video of my seroma(s) I had it drained yesterday and will most likely need it drained again. I told my son via voice to text "It it is statically plaza bowl, it will happen to me." Apparently my phone has a foreign influence--Czech to be exact(funny story)I was not being a neener-poop or anything, more..a hypochondriac--true story!

Ok so here are 2 fuzzy navel pictures (literally--ahh I can't stop them!) an an attempt to share a video.

You have a wicked sense of humour, my swollen abs don't appreciate my laughing out loud at your comments. You look fantastic, I hope I turn out half as well. I am on day 6 post op, and in swell hell. No drains here, not that I am sorry for that.
We have a lot in Common I had my first at 18 so can relate to never having that sexy young bod, and as for catching my boobs in my jeans waistband, yup been there done that, lol.... keep the posts and the pictures comming I can relate to you.

Thanks Tish!! You said wicked...so I will guess you are in the New England area? I am too lazy to click your name to see.

Are you massaging your tummy tum? It really helps with the swelling--getting those ,lymph fluids redirected to their new homes.

holy hell you are in Ireland so I was WAY off...however, I am half Irish so we are like FAMILY!!

I am not sure which half tho I did hear a comedian once say Irish women are known for large nipples...so perhaps I am half Irish in spots.

Cripes I have hardly any nipples, I have to call them out , lol.
Interested to know what sort of a joke that comedian was telling when it involved Irish women and nipples . Wicked wouldn't really be an irish saying as such but It rubbed off somewhere on me, by wicked I mean , great, very good, rather than evil. I would have written MIGHTY, which is what I normaly would say but seeing as a lot of Americans might not understand it, I chose wicked. Good to meet you, . I am glad that I joined the realself forum now because I haven't told ANYONE that I have had this procedure, I told my family I had a hernia, :lol:. My husband knows of course, but everyone else would be saying I was mad in the head to spend money on having surgery that I don't need to live. But sod them, I needed it for my own reasons, vanity. :lol:

Vanity keeps me ALIVE!! We use the word wicked in New England as slang for anything....wicked bad, wicked good, wicked sexy (which is used always in reference to me)
Your nipples may not be Irish...your parents have some explaining to you it seems.

I love the hernia idea tho...well explaining the surgery with hernia, that is. NO one would love a hernia I don't think. It is not even a stretch because of the muscle repair. Tho when you are all strutting your new pretty girl swag--some may envy your "hernia repair"!

I love this site--my ADHD prevents me from posting on a lot of people's journals though...I do read all of them!!

You look fabulous! I love what you did with your booty. And I love your attitude during recovery. From the tone of your posts, it almost seems like you can run already. Keep up the good work.

I would love to run but the doctor said..walk. Jerk.
Thank you for the booty remark!! I am loving how it is turning out! Before I fell in love with fitness I had a terrible syndrome..flat ass syndrome, have you heard of it? 90% of white women have that affliction. However, squats and deadlifts built the muscle and I just needed a doctor to carve it out a bit more....
Do you play hockey?

Oh no. I've always had a fat and now fat and muscular booty and thighs. I wanted the doc to sculpt them, but she didn't cause she wanted to keep my procedure to 5 hours, and she didn't think I'd see much benefit...yet. I swear she just wanted me to keep me as a repeat customer. Now when I sit, my lower butt and thighs spread and stop where my flanks were lipo-ed. I wonder if jeans will fit.

I do play hockey...poorly. Learned to skate and play at 26. Took off a few years to have and nurse the kids. It is so much fun. I'm on a women's beginner league. We even have a 70 year old on the team. Hope that will be me someday.

Infection is healing fine, had my sutures out today--my doctor said my figure is what "hty ecall" a wasp figure...he means the insect clearly....BZZZZZZZZ [RS bleep]! LOL

Oh and had a seroma, and he drained it--I guess it would be like an amnio only not as scary and hardly painful at all. I think he took about 5 ounces of lymph and blood out of the tummy.

oh that and I LOOK AMAZING!!!
that is all :D

ok holiday has happened. I ate..and I am done eating. :D

Here are a front and back view---I should do a side view because my butt is NOT that small! LOL

I feel good--too good probably. The lipo bruises are going away on the surface and the deep tissue bruises have feeling in them now--which hurts. I have a lot of little hard bumps that I have been massaging in the shower to try and break them up. My infected side is still a bit open but the antibiotics are doing the trick for sure.

Mama wants tiny clothes for the upcoming holidays!!
