Day 11 post op

WORTH IT
I got my drains out yesterday! I’m glad about that!! I was nervous but when he did it... I felt nothing!! I took a wonderful shower this morning. Felt so good not having to worry about drains. I still can not stand all the way up straight. The longer I’m on my feet the more my lower back hurts. I slept on my side last night. Wasn’t too bad. I did stretch this morning when I woke up and that hurt a little.
I feel like my incision looks good. The only thing I’m regretting is not getting lipo. To me... I look fat still on my sides. Will that go away? Should I have gotten lipo too? I look square. Now it is only day 11. Maybe I’m worrying too much. Anyway... here are some pics. (I’m moving, don’t mind the mess)

Hi! I think U look great. I'm about two days behind you and have worries too. I think it's way too soon to be judging ourselves. People say it takes months for the final result. I'm not really looking at myself in the mirror much anymore because things change daily. I'll reassess weekly to see my progress. Also remember you can always have more done if your not happy at the end.
Thank you! You’re so right. It’s too early. Hope you’re feeling good!!
I had my drains out today. What a great feeling

I hate these drains!

Day 6 and these drains are on my NERVES!! They are pulling. I make sure they have a little slack but it’s the stitch. Also.... have not gone #2 since day of surgery. My back hurts after standing for 10 minutes.
Bright side... I slept in my bed last night. It was wonderful.

First follow up

Had my first follow up at the doctor today. My surgery was Friday. All he did was take off the binder. Checked the incision and told me to come back in a week to get the drains out. He said everything looks good so far. I still have not had a bm since Friday before surgery. He said I can shower. I’m happy about that. Hubby had to help me. It was hard but worth it. I’ll upload some pics. Lots of swelling still
