Things have been going really well. I have felt really, really good since 2 weeks and now I'm at 4 weeks. I have been wanting to workout and be active so it's hard taking it slow. The swelling is starting to go down and my breasts are starting to drop a little but are still very high.

So i don't know if I mentioned some things which...

So i don't know if I mentioned some things which are good to know before anyone goes through a tummy tuck. For the first couple days it took me 20 minutes to pee, and it was dribbles at a time. I have a body suite that zips on the sides and goes from under my breast so my calves with a large hole in the crotch to use the restroom. For me it's hard to pee while I wear clothes plus all the trauma your body goes through makes it difficult. Also this is TMI...but the top part of my butt crack was always wet with sweat, water from the shower etc... And with the contraption I am in it has a hard time drying out so keep it dry with powder and I ended up using diaper cream to shed excess water because I developed a slight diaper rash. Haha so unexpected and kinda gross.

Also going number 2 at first was horrible, on day 4 PO is when it happened and I'm still paying the price lol. I took stool softener a and probiotics and I'm eating a ton of fiber which I'm thankful for but my system went from holding everything in to letting it all out and my tummy is still a rumbly mess!

So I'm still retaining a lot of fluid and the sides of my incisions hurt especially where my zippers dig in but it's not horrible and I'm only taking my medications at night or once through the day if I need to.

Today is day 6 PO. My breast are more sore today...

Today is day 6 PO. My breast are more sore today than they have been but they still just feel like I had a good chest workout. My stomach still feels swollen and uncomfortable around the incision site. I keep looking at before and after pics and I think the results will be amazing! I did some cooking and tried to help out the hubby as much as I could yesterday and ended up exhausting myself so I am taking it easier today. He bought me an iPad so I'm messing around on that ;). I should be getting my drain out in 4 days which I'm excited about but I'm not in a rush, I want as much swelling to go down as possible before then. I've been showering every other day trying to feel refreshed but staying comfy in pj's. I'm looking forward to healing more each day.

I went to three consultations in my area. He took the time, explained everything well and I liked what he had to say and noticed about my situation. I wasn't as comfortable with the other doctors.
