what is this?

I have these really hard areas on either side of my incision, when I say really hard I mean like concrete hard. What is that? Is it scar tissue? Should I be concerned? Will it go away (it seems to be getting larger..)Is there something I could be doing to help it, whatever 'it' is? Ughh.....

Rainy Halloween
We took the kids out tonight and of course it was raining and the wind was crazy! I had planned to bring my walker (In case I needed to sit and rest) but I didn't bring it. Things went alright but my tummy got really hard and tight. This will sound crazy but the tightness feels like when you letdown (nursing) and your uterus contracts. Is that normal? I know most ladies say they have that tightness too, just wondering if that sensation is normal, lol.
On top of the sinus infection I have been fighting (now on antibiotics) I threw up today :( I simply cannot imagine the pure agony that those of you experienced very early PO with vomiting. It has been 23 days now and it was not pleasant, I'm so very grateful I haven't thrown up prior to this my heart goes out to those who weren't so fortunate! My little ones seem to be picking up every single bug since school began and keep getting quite sick and it just lingers, no one gets 'all better'. So I'm sure that I managed to pick up the vomiting that dd#3 had a few days ago. Ughhh. Taking my gravol and resting now, guess I should be sleeping though.
Thank you all for your kind words! It really has helped brighten those days that seem so upsetting. I know there's a big change in my body but I just don't feel it I guess. Perhaps I'm swollen? Hopefully. I see my PS on Monday so I'll see what he has to say about 'things'. Take care everyone! God Bless

I'm feeling you hun! The swelling is awful and I hate hate hate not being able to exercise! That is usually my release so hoping I can get back into it soon. You look great though and I think the hardest thing about this recovery is how painfully slow it is and also knowing that clothes etc won't look good straight away. I'm sure we will feel differently in another three weeks, let's remind ourselves what our body has been through in the last three weeks!

I started to feel better once I was able to move more. But I am still fighting with clothes. So frustrating. We sure had weird weather here in Ontario, didn't we? Even today it's weird. It's November. I don't like it. Hoping you feel better soon. :)

I experienced that tightness with my tummy tuck that you describe. It thought I was constipated at first! LOL.

your shape is so sexy and i'm loving how even your incision is! glad to hear you've been healing up well- gives me hope. :)

I am glad you are on top of the sinus infection--I felt so bad for you. But you are right, our little gremlins (our kids) seem to bring home every little bug in town. Get some good solid rest. A nice nap feels good everyday!

Uneventful so far...
Hello ladies,
I'm 19 days po. Things have been going pretty good, can't really complain. I've been out and about doing some shopping, Christmas shopping for the kids and after a couple hours I am pooped! My incision and my tummy in general feel super tight and on two occasions this week getting in/out of the car it actually split open and bled (just a wee bit) but it was uncomfortable and of course got my cg all nasty!
To be honest, over the last few days I have really been in a funk for some reason. I do not fit in any of the clothes I want to fit in and the pictures are not reassuring (am or pm). Blah..can't wait to get the okay to exercise. Maybe that will help the mood?
Hope everyone is healing nicely! Take care ladies :)

You look great. I started sleeping in the bed at day 15. I used tons of pillows all around me. I'm 28 days out and still get tired easily too. Each day will get better.

You have a sexy curvy shape! You are still in the early days, don't even bother trying clothes on!! You are just over two weeks out. Your body will start to settle some more, def keep resting. I felt the same way abt my recliner. We in fact just took it out of the livingroom this past week!! I'll miss it. Happy continued healing and i'm looking forward to following your journey!

Hello I came to see if you had any pics and you look amazing. And the looks are only going to improve. Wait to see!!!! I will keep you in my prayers!

Hi, I really hope you are doing well today!!! What helped a lot from day 1 and further was to walk every 2 hours for 15 minutes each time. My husband took a week off from work thinking he was going to rest at home. Lol ....he still remembers that I would not stop walking and I kept saying " if I don't walk I will die" ha ha ha ha....I don't know why I said that but I certaintly know that walking helped me keep going, gave me energy and positive thoughts! !! I hope you have a good night!!!

you are looking good- I too am waiting for the ok for activity. I go back tomorrow to PS so I am hoping I get to do more than just walking. lol

You're looking good. Don't despair. Take it easy so that the incision continues to heal in the inside. From what I have read here you are still too soon to see results. I also think you're being too active - my humble opinion :) Im having my TT in 6 weeks so I've read about every post here.
