3week update

WORTH IT$9,600
Can't believe it has been 3 weeks already! I can't believe how great I feel & how wonderful I look! Clothes are fitting so much better & my husband says I have my confidence back. He is so right. Wish I had done this two years ago when I first starting thinking about it. Guess the time wasn't right until now.

Go see my doc tomorrow for my third post op appointment. I hope she says I can start exercising, at least start back on
the treadmill. Can't believe how much I miss it. I've lost 7 lbs since (or from) the surgery. I had to go buy some new jeans - I was going to wait until swelling went down but I couldn't wait.

7 days post op

Not having happy day. Just in a crappy mood. You can tell it's a full moon - my legs are so hairy I look like I'm turning into a werewolf! Tummy is swollen & a little uncomfy. Not moving too fast. Going for a post op appt tomorrow. Hopefully she'll take the drains out. If not that means I'll have to go to work on Monday with the stupid things in. Ok. I'm done complaining now.
Thanks for letting me vent. I just keep telling my self PATIENCE. It will get better & the results are going to be worth it.

The pics posted are obviously pre surgery. I'll have to take some post so you can see if there's a diff. Finally went to the bathroom. Hooray! I'm feeling good but lazy. Walk around but then lie down on the couch Getting tired of the crap on tv. Glad my mom is here to provide comedy relief & to cook all sorts of good things. She is a little pushy with the fruits & veggies.

Oh, nice to see some ladies closer to my age :) Mine is in 3 weeks! you sound like you are in good spirits and all went well. Can''t wait to see the "after" pics :) Happy healing!!

Yes it is nice to see some ladies are age posting. Because you definitely handle things & recover differently in your 50s then you do in your 20s & 30s! I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy the recovery has been so far. Good luck with your surgery! I'm keeping you in my thoughts & prayers!

You should have great results. Congratulations on being on the other side. I walked about every two hours back and forth to the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen. If I was sleeping, my husband did not wake me up to walk. I did just fine, no clots and I am 53.
