So this afternoon 3/29 I went in for a full tummy tuck. Afterwards, we decided to stay in a hotel bc we live 90mins away from my PS. And we have to go back in the morning for a check up. As of right now. I already see some crazy bruising from the lipo. I have this machine ran leg compressor thing that I took back with me to use overnight. I still have a catheter in. Which is kinda uncomfortable but at least I don't have to get up and go to the bathroom multiple times yet. I have 1 drain that's safety pinned to my compression belt thing. The pain is like a 3 if I sit still but when I try to move.. bam a 9!
I'll post some before pictures. And hopefully more later as I heal.

So its been almost 24 hours since the surgery. I went in this morning for a check up and they took the catheter out. So that's one less bothersome thing to deal with. The meds have me in and out of consciousness, which is great. Lol. If I just sit n chill the pain is at like a 5. But standing up is the worst! I know I'm supposed to get up and walk every few hours but it's a struggle. Oh and much less fluid today in the grenade today compared to last night.

awesome :) how are you feeling?

Awful to be honest but I knew going in that days 1-4 were gunna be the worst. Luckily hubby took leave so he's here to help out so I don't have to get up much. Bc trying to stand up and walk is about as painful if not more painful than recovering from a csection. But I will say, from what I can see, girl I'm gunna look awesome! Lol

Not much has changed. I still hurt, I still occasionally feel nauseous. Still sleeping upright in a chair. But I am starting to move around a bit more. Bruising is looking worse but I know it's gotta get bad before things get better.

What areas did he do lipo on?

He said in the areas with the diagonal lines. And I think a little down the middle so things lay flat.
