33 Years Old - Tummy Tuck with MR and Lipo- Lost 100 Pounds Through Healthy Eating and Exercise but Hated Skin - San Antonio, TX

Today is day 2 of my TT. I had my TT with Dr. Koneru in San Antonio. Loved him. He was very sweet, funny and patient with me. His office staff were also very sweet. I lost over 100 pounds a few years ago and have kept it off but the skin has always bugged me so I decided to finally do something about it. So I'm on day 2 and Im feeling ok but walking very hunched over. Definitely taking the pain meds but I think the nausea is worse than the pain sometimes. The drains aren't as bad as I've read. I'm hoping to write everyday but I think that will depend on how I'm feeling. I'm sleepin a lot right now and only eating toast and water so hopefully it will get better soon. I should be able to post more pics soon.

So today was definitely they better than any other day. I actually ate a bowl of soup. My first real food since the surgery. I am also walking around easier. It still hurts and I'm hunched over but it's better. I was able to stay awake today and have conversations with my family. Except that's not always a good thing since they made me laugh and that made my muscles hurt. I'm still having to take my pain meds every 6 hours but I'm hoping I can wean off of them soon. All in all its getting better everyday. I think I can feel my incision more but it's not too bad with the meds. I'm also still sleeping in the recliner but trying to get up every couple hours to walk around. The compression garment is a pain in the butt. Literally. I thought I needed to have a BM but the whole was nowhere near big enough so my sister had to cut it. What are sisters for right? Well here's to tomorrow.

So my internal analgesic wore off today. Took me a while to get used to that this morning but after that I was fine. I made the mistake of taking ibuprofen with nothing on my stomach and not only did it make me naseous but it made me super sleepy. I have felt nauseous off and on all day. The pain has been better. I actually hady first BM today, thanks to a suppositiory. First time ever using one but thankful I read about using them on here before the surgery. I actually had a small lunch and dinner but they were both very small. I walked around more and I seemed to be walking less and less hunched over every day. My hubby gave me a sponge bath and I feel soooooo much better. My sister even washed my hair. I did get really sleepy again after supper and slept for about 2 hours. Overall a good day.
