Surgery was 110% Worth it!!

Seems like everyday i fluctuate when it comes to swelling, today has been by far the best day yet!! Its amazing to see how in just a couple days things change, i drink tons of water...which yes, means i have to pee like every 5 minutes lol, but i find drinking water helps a ton with swelling, and also for me keeping compressed makes a big difference, i dont wear my CG anymore, but i do wear more comfortable firm control high rise panties, like spanx and then i like to wear my sporty capri pants over top, like Nike dri fit capris with a wide waist band..or old navy compression capris, Its not to tight its actually pretty comfy, well way more comfier then the CG. Alrighty well i was psyched to be so flat this morning so i thought why not share with all ya'all! Happy healing everyone and best wishes to all the upcoming TT'ers!

Yesterday i had my 3 week appt, everything went super well, i got my tapes off..only to get new tapes on though, which have to be on for 6 months!...the tapes will give me a better scar..also the tape i got this time is different..more comfortable and not too different from the color of my skin..so no biggy :-) Also i start scar therapy next week..i am to apply a product called Kelocote twice a week, a thin layer on my incision line..wait for it to dry then re tape, also i put a thin layer around my bb and let that dry, so thats a routine i will start next wednesday, twice a week for 6 months..hopefully it'll be all worth it and i end up with a light scar...fingers crossed! :-D
Took before and afters in my swim suits...afters are kinda dark...it was a cloudy day..didnt get much sunlight in the bathroom...i am sooo happy i cant even explain, i am sooo happy!! i cant believe that was me before..feels unreal to look at my afters...at 3 weeks and still swollen i am beyond pleased! No more CG whoooo hoooo! but i have a lighter more comfortable high rise control top i wear when i am feeling like i need the compression...the CG was annoying to wear but the compression it gave me was such a relief, i still need that relief so a garment like spanx or a high rise control of some kind is definitely helpful. At 6 weeks i get to start working out, not aggressively..gotta gradually work into that, i cant wait to start though! before my mid section didnt respond to anything i did, pliates..cardio..nothing! now i feel like i got a body i can work with!!
