My Journey to a Flatter Tummy

I'm now 6 weeks post op and I'm not all that thrilled about my results. I still have a gut. I know some of it might be swelling but, you can still tell that even without the swelling I'll still be left with a gut. I will give it some more time since it's still kind of early in the recovery process before I completely say that wasted $9000, and still won't be in an bikini for my birthday next week. Still can't upload pics for some reason.

I had my surgery on April 29th and I am now 3 days PO. Im still very very swollen so I can't really judge my results. I'm going to just trust the process. The pain the first 2 days was probably around a 7 on a scale from 1-10. Today has been the easiest day. I'm moving around better and more often. Still no bowel movement yet but I'm drinking Miralax everyday. I'm not a back sleeper so thats been a challenge. This binder does cause alot of itching and its folding, creasing, and digging into my skin which is uncomfortable. I think I'm going to go ahead and put my abdominal board under it to eliminate the creasing. Other than that I've been eating light meals and drinking plenty of fluids..esp water, pineapple juice, and protein shakes. I tried to post pics but it keeps saying my file is to large even though it's under the required size. I will keep trying though.

I'm scheduled to have my TT w/lipo to the flanks on tomorrow at 1pm. I'm super nervous but excited. After work today I spent the rest of the evening cleaning my house and setting up my supplies. Can't eat anything ather midnight so I'm about to drink a protein shake, and call it a night.
