So my ps said everything looks great at my post op appt!! :) that made me happy--I'm trying to not judge results at this point yet because I'm still swollen and see asymmetry. I know 5 days post op the last thing I should be thinking about is the end result it will take a while. One drain came out which made me ecstatic!!! It wasn't as bad as I thought but it definitely hurt! Tomorrow I can get the othe one out as long as it doesn't start draining a lot again... Then no more binder and I can wear a spanx!!! Woo hoo!!!!

Hey guys sorry I have been in and out with updating but I guess the first three days were pretty bad for me. I had a lot of pain! Doesn't help that hubby and I aren't on the best terms, lovely of him to act like an ass during my time of need. Anyway pain is much less today, the showers help so much I am off pain meds and on Tylenol only. Post op appt again tomorrow praying I can get atlwast one drain out!!!!! I hate these damn things. Anyway haven't felt like getting dressed or taking new photos I'm not quite there yet. Standing about 75 % strait now with way less back spasms. I still can't walk around for too long without needing to sit... Getting better everyday tho. My mom goes back to work and I will be alone tomorrow which I think will be ok, just have to remember to drink water and eat I'm terrible with that. Ok I'll post more tomorrow , maybe I'll get bored and take pics lol ... Definitely will update after de appointment at 5. :)

As far as pain today was the worst so far, hoping I've hit the maximum and pain will begin to lessen. Thank god I have the walker. Also today I was able to shower---- literally had a showergasm it felt so good but I don't know if I would've been able to unless I had the shower chair. Th bit water felt so good on my back which has been aching pretty bad from lip and being hunched over. I can't really tell results bc I'm still so hunched and swollen But I love my new belly button!!! Like love it love it

Also taking the bruise guard for another 7 days as suggested by my plastic surgeon .... I'll post more pictures but I feel like it's silly bc I'm all swollen still . Ok gonna try to doze off . Sleeping is the worst by the way I wake up in agony
