Im so excited and happy about my decision to take my body back! It was painful and emotionally draining. Good days and bad days. Still feel strange twinges and tightness, 3 more weeks before I am cleared to do vigorous abd strengthening. Back to my almost normal self and life, work, exercise, social, etc
Wanted to post a bikini pic. It's an old bikini, I haven't bought a new one yet, I tightened the top and I added elastic to the bottoms as a scrunchie butt look which helped a lot. New suit next month prior to some trips....

Swelling

so yesterday was my first day back to work, 12 hour shifts. After I got home tonight my abdomen is really swollen!!! I emailed my ps and he said to be less active and def wear my binder. Ugh.

When am I going to be normal again?????

I'm just whining!!!! I'm super happy with the results, just tired!

I feel the same way but without the 12 hour shifts. Ouch. I feel for you. I would def wear the binder to minimize the swell even though it sucks to wear it.

I am from Utah as well, 51 years old, had the full tummy tuck after 6 kids, I love the results now at 10 1/2 weeks post op, normal numbness, and swelling, and twinges here and there. the only place that bothers me here and there is around the belly button area, it is slowly getting better as well, but very slowly. I haven't worn my binder since week 5 1/2 post op, I need my body to get use to the new me, I have a hawaii trip in less than 2 weeks, and I need to know I can do anything and have fun. the more I go without my binder the better I feel, it was a hard crutch to give up. I hope your swelling calms down some, it's uncomfortable.
