I. Hate. This. Surgery. My jeans don't even cover my scar. That's sad. I now look like I have a muffin top because the incision is digging into my sides. Before this surgery I liked my sides, and they sure as hell didn't hang over my jeans. Eff. Em. Ell.

DRAIN FREE IS THE WAY TO BE!!!!!!! :-)
Finally it doesn't hurt to move!! Got both drains out today, however I am more swollen today than i was two days ago. I need help getting back on track with dieting. The combination of quitting smoking and the stress of this surgery is making me just want to eat everything in site. HELP!!!!!!!

The swelling will get better. Hang in there. I also used Dr. Cohen for my mommy makeover. I love my tummy tuck, but have mixed feelings about my breast lift/augmentation. Happy healing to you!

before pic....
So i got on my laptop and found the before pics that i took before i had my BA. This will act as my ultimate before picture. In it you will see all of the stretch marks and c-section scar that Dr. Cohen was able to get rid of with the tummy tuck. Craziness. And of course....my boobs still look awesome. :-)

The swelling is the hardest to deal with. I wish I could tell you it was just going to go away. I'll be 5 weeks post on Monday, & I'm still swollen. By the end of my work day it's terrible. It's always better in the mornings, but so frustrating. On a positive note, I look better swollen than I did before. This is a process. Just take it one day at a time & know that by summer you will be rocking a bikini!

I'm trying to remind myself of that. Thank you for your positive words! It's so hard to focus on the long term!!

I am at just about the one year mark, and it was absolutely worth it. It does get better it just takes time. I went through a lot of emotional crap, and you really do begin to question it's worth. It is a good time to focus on what causes the mental issues with yourself and try to heal those, while you heal physically. I did a lot of soul searching during my recovery, and now I absolutely love myself and my body. It took 33 years to figure that out. ;) you will get past the hump. Happy healing!!
