Tummy Tuck with Dr. Salemy

I got some pictures (finally), I am feeling better but cannot move too fast. After week one I stopped some of the medication because I needed to drive my kids around and I took and I still taking some Tylenol for pain. I get too excited when I go places but after a few hours my body ask me to go to bed. I eat but I cannot have a normal meal because I get full o I get to a point that I don't want to see or smell food, it kind of gross me out. My husband change my tape 3 days ago and I cried because I was scare that he was going to pull my skin off and I really cried when he got to the pubic area because some of the pubic hair was attached to the tape and he had to carefully unglued hair by hair because it was too sensitive in that area. My husband is telling me I shouldn't put too much details like that but I think otherwise and also makes me think that I should have had some laser to remove the hair from that area because even if you shave before surgery they still grow and even after surgery you think in shaving but you can't because of the wounds...I am just saying :) . I am going to leave the pictures for you to see. I will post more soon!

I have a belly button, I see it on the pictures, I see it on the mirror and I can't believe I have one. day 1 was horrible, I was sent home and anesthesia was wearing off just getting home and getting out of the car was mission impossible but when I did I just wanted to cruddle and laid on the grass and stay there forever!!! but somehow i pulled my self up to get inside the house and sit on a chair a have all the medications. one thing I learn from that is that you have to take the nausea pill first!!!!! otherwise is not going help that fast. I gagged several times, until I finally vomited and it hurt, I thought everything I had done that morning was coming undone that night. Second day and night it wasn't good, trying to find a place to feel comfortable and stay there, even when I planned everything you just have to use your imagination. I told my family to just put all the blankets around me, just the same thing you do with a baby and after that just wait for the pill to kick off. I wasn't hungry , still not hungry but you have to eat something because the pills can upset your tummy, I did organic soups, white bread and jello and that last one still my favorite. on day two doctor said that besides my prior lipo that had done, my wound was healing wonderful and the blood flood is working. I was also told to walk straight but it was kind of impossible for me so, I told my husband to go to value village and look for a walker and he got me one almost new for 15 dollars, it has wheels, brakes , a basket and a seat. Well let me tell you , that thing is wonderful, when you want to go to the bathroom or just moving around the house, I even took that one to the grocery store. On day three I was allowed to take a shower and clean the belly button to put cream and a new band aid. I was eating a little more, lots of coconut water, smoothies and of course water. I am walking much better and it has been the same for day 4 and 5 and for the pain I am taking Tylenol but if I feel really uncomfortable I will do the prescribe medication at night, I am trying not to depend on those during the day because I am planning In going back on full time mom next Monday and that means , driving the kids around to schools and extra classes. Well, I can say that I am ready to buy new clothes ,I am just waiting for the doctor to take the drainers off my body !!!. I will post some pictures later!

Here are my before pictures, side boob, hips and tummy!
