So I just had my procedure done on the 25th of September. It is so hard to decide if this is worth it. I cried for the first time today just because this seems to be a lonely time. You have someone taking care of you but feel guilty and selfish. And your irritated for not being able to do stuff. I just don't know what to think anymore. I felt great early today and was walking around fine. But then I don't know just watching others and feeling guilty finally hit me. This is a roller coaster and I'm not sure I like it. It takes a lot for me to admit I cried too since I am a 23 year old dude. It's not something I usually broadcast but seems like it only helps with others who experienced it. Y'all are the only reason I have made it so far, I thought I was going crazy and was just being a wuss for a long time. I hope it's worth it in the end. I lost over 50 lbs and have busted my but to not be able to feel comfy on the beach and hopefully this will put me In the right direction. But it's so hard to not be able to do things for myself. And be stuck in a room in a recliner all day minus the bathroom. I'm starting to be able to walk more but the incision is becoming more sensitive. I hope I'm not messing it up. I see the doctor Monday. I'm so afraid he is going say that...I hope these fluid pumps come out too. I do not like them at all. And leaking everywhere is not ideal. I have puppy pads and sitting in a depends diaper cause its the only thing that doesn't Hurt the grenade looking things. I'm trying to think positive and keep my spirits up but I'm slowly breaking down. My doctor said I should be able to stand up straight by day 10 and back to Normal after 2 weeks. I pray that's the case. I can't do this much longer.

Today has been a lot better. The draining is slowing down. I get to go to my first post op appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I will here good news. I'm starting to be able to move around a lot more easily. The only pain seems to be in the morning when I first wake up and I think it's just because my muscles are tense from sleeping in this recliner and have to get used to being up right. I can't wait to get up right again. The doctor said 10 days and I should be great. I really hope so. My legs r tired of me being bent over. Lol. Sneezing and coughing is a pain. Lord have mercy. But I tried to avoid those as much as possible. Ill be glad when I can walk and go back to normal. All this relaxing and sitting is hurting my butt. I don't see how people enjoy this. Lol.

Went to the doctor today. Got great news. And one of the drains removed. It's funny he made me stand up more and I could. I think I was scared to break stitches but he reassured me I should be standing up straight in the next 4 days and in the next 6-8 days I will be back to normal. He is excited. Said it all looks amazing. And that im going be surprised when I Stan straight up and my stomach is flat. Can't wait. I'm walking around like crazy. I think once a drain comes out, you get a 2nd wind.
