30 days post op!
I am now officially 30 days post-op. I am glad I took a few pictures along the way. I'm a pretty modest person, so taking a selfie...let alone one so exposed... is way out of my comfort zone, but it has been fun to track the results week to week. It doesn't seem like much difference between each subsequent picture, but then when you go back and view them in total it is amazing. So happy with my results just 4 weeks out.
I can't wait to see how things progress as I know I still have more healing to do. The bandages finally fell off my belly button. Although they are still on my BA and TT incisions. Swelling is mostly gone. The areas that it remains are mostly around my tummy tuck incision as well as along the vertical muscle repair area. My belly button also kind of freaks me out. The nurse assures me the tissue is still inflammed and swollen and that as that subsides my belly button with 'settle down'. So at this point just trusting in the skill of my PS, which was the reason I choose him.
Speaking of my doctor, going in for a scheduled post op visit Tuesday. Hoping to hear everything looks good and get the green light to up my workout routine.
For now posting two pictures taken 30 days apart. :)

3 weeks
Tomorrow marks 3 weeks and I feel like I'm turning a corner. No more soreness, standing upright, not as tired, and I can finally sleep comfortably on my side. Swelling is still there, although I see small progress each day.
Today I started digging through the back of my closet. Those clothes I haven't worn confidently in 4 years. Despite the remaining swelling, I am loving my new figure. So happy I went ahead with this surgery.

Week 2
Life is starting to return to normal. I'm able to do most of my daily routine, just a bit slower. I can now stand up straight but when walking I still hunch over a little. A few things I've noticed the past week.
1) I slightly freaked out when I saw a plastic string coming out of my body near my tummy tuck incision. Turns out it's fairly normal and just the leftover internal stitches after the PS knotted it. Should dissolve over the next few weeks and fall off. Great. For now I covered it with a bandage as it was catching on my CG.
2. Drink water, lots or water. Then repeat. I have a cup of coffee in the morning, glass of wine with dinner, otherwise it's water all day long. I notice a big difference in nighttime swelling on the days I drink a lot of water.
3. Even though I don't need to wear the 'booby band' anymore (aka that elastic bandage across your chest the guide the implants down), I prefer to wear it to sleep. I've been sleeping more and more on my back, and find it helps with any discomfort I get from my BA when in that position.
Other big thing to note, my pants fit again! Which is nice as it was getting boring wear leggings day in and day out.
Posted some pictures from this morning, seeing a little more definition everyday. My PS leaves the steri-strips on until they fall off on their own, which is the bandage you see over my incisions. The stripes look a little nasty at this point, but otherwise aren't bothering me at all.
