POD #6
Each day is truly so much better. Today getting up and down is much more comfortable especially sitting on the toilet. (My thighs are very bruised from lipo). I am starting to feel some mild nerve pain in my left and right ends of the incision but it doesn’t last long and is tolerable. Hopefully it stays that way.
I had my first post op appointment today and as expected, everything is going well. My swelling is not getting better or worse which is expected at this state. We will be removing the drains on my next appointment on 10/6/2020. I’m really looking forward to that.

Wow! Each day is getting easier and easier. I’m getting up and down, walking, and using the restroom a lot easier now. Tomorrow my fiancé goes back to work and I’m nervous but I have a friend coming by for a few hours. My thighs still remain the most painful part of my body the bruising is SIGNIFICANT! Whew, I can’t imagine getting a BBL or any breast procedure in combination with this tummy tuck like so many other girls do. I had my first and then 2 more bowel movements today. I was taking daily stool softener (200mg) for a week leading to my surgery and for post op day 1 & 2. On POD 3 I had half of a Miralax powder pack, the morning of day 4 I had the other half. It was mild and I had no abdominal cramping just gas and the urge to go. Output was effortless. Tonight, with my fiancé’s assistance I am in our bed with pillows behind me and wedge under my knees and it feels so good. Hoping to get some well deserved rest tonight.
POD #3
This morning I walked around more, to the toilet, brushed my teeth etc. It was really tiring and my back aches a lot when I stand too long. My legs are really sore from the lipo so that makes it more difficult to walk. I might try and sleep in my bed tonight or at least get into it. I’m also going to try and wean off the pain medication because I feel like it’s delaying my healing because I can’t walk around much on it. I applied the arnica gel to my thighs this morning and it has helped some with the pain. Still no BM but I’m passing a lot of gas. Mentally today is hard, I feel so boxy and so swollen. I feel bigger than before. I know that the swelling is significant and this is no where near the final outcome but it’s hard. I’m only 3 days post op and I need to be graceful with myself.
