So this week has been a real trial for me. I think this has by far been the worst week so far! Going back to work was tough. Even just doing desk work, by the time I picked up the kids I was done. Couldn't even make dinner the first day back. But every day has been a noticeable improvement. More energy, less pain and swelling. Maybe just getting back into a semi normal routine has been good for me!
I am 17 days post op today and though still very swollen, there has been a vast improvement in the feelings and swelling amount. I don't think I will be back in pre-op clothing for a while, but at least I can see a ray of sun peeking out in the future :)
Pain wise, there have been some strange shooting pains near the incision. I put this down to healing and feelings comin back. I am still very numb, but the numb area seems to be getting slightly smaller and my muscle contractions fewer and farther between.
On a negative note, my belly button seems to be going flat and not a nice innie like I had hoped for. This could be from swelling this evening, but does anyone know how to ensure an innie?
Things are looking up ;)

Tomorrow is 2 weeks. I am back to work and is it ever tough!!! Even though I am on deglaze work only and have set up a recliner in the lunch room to rest on my break, I am so swollen and sore by the time I get home!
I almost feel as if I look worse right now than before. I am so swollen, hunched over and I cannot fit any of my clothes! I know it will get better, but it can't come soon enough.
My hubby is working out of town for the next 3-6 months so its really hard taking care of the kids, the household and working while trying to rest as much as I can. Horrible timing for him to have to go, but I guess it could be worse.

I am at day 11 and it's back to work full time as of tomorrow. I think I am ready, well, I guess it doesn't matter or not because I have no choice lol!
I'm feeling about 60% back to my old self. Besides the major swelling and tiring easy I have no complaints. I am standing about 90% straight again (more so in the morning less so as the day goes on)
I took the dressing off my bb tonight and am very pleased how it is coming along! Starting to push in a bit! I hate the swelling ridges along the incision though, it's almost the same as pre-op but hard instead of jiggly loose skin.... I know this is temporary though...
All in all I am very happy I did this and each day is getting better and better!

I am going through the ubc cosmetic surgery clinic with a 5th year resident supervised by a board certified surgeon that performed a BL 8 years ago on me.
