Tummy Tuck

So excited! Please keep me posted on your progress, and best wishes!

How are you doing ??

Hi! I'm doing ok. Today is day 5 post op. Pain is tolerable, I scaled down to half pills every four hours but I woke up feeling sore and the incision was hurting so I took one pill again. Still mostly resting but getting around on my own. Im eating healthy foods and often. When I'm hungry I eat.. I think this is helping with recovery. Sleeping is really uncomfortable! I have a futon bed.. it's so hard. I plan on writing here today to see if anyone has suggestions for pillows or something that might help.
I can already tell my mommy pouch is gone!!! Still haven't removed my binder but I plane to take a quick pic at post op feb 9th.
4 more weeks! How exciting. Once you get through first 3 days, you'll start to feel better. Keep us posted. Please let me know if you have questions/need support.

Im so happy for you ! Im super nervous that my expectations are too high, my pre~op is feb16. I dont have a recliner either i bought a wedge pillow hoping i can monkey something out of it

I'm a big fan of using what you have around the house before buying more stuff. Hopefully you have lots of other pillows to use with your wedge pillow. You can also look at baby consignment stores for nursing pillows or body pillows? Someone on RealSelf recommended a donut pillow to relieve all the weight and strain on your butt from sitting reclined and sleeping reclined. Some nursing pillows can work for that too and might be cheaper.. especially at those second hand stores.

I totally agree, especially since we're putting out so much money for the surgery ! Good ideas and suggestions. I CAN'T WAIT !!
