Lovin' my flat tummy!

I had my TT with lipo of the flanks three days ago on 3/16/12 so I am a little loopy writing this so I hope I make sense. I am a 31 year old mom of 2. My little boy turned 4 yesterday and I have a two year old little girl. I am 5'2" and weighed 134 lbs the day of surgery. Pregnancy left me with loose skin, excess on the love handles, and lovely stretch marks. I still can't believe I went through with it. I was beyond nervous. I worried about everything from dying in surgery to gettting an infection, to hating my results. Things have been a little rough so far but from everything I have read that is to be expected. The worst part so far was waking up at 4 am vomiting yesterday morning. My PS called in phenergan suppositories so that helped. Today has been better.

4 days post op- I think everyday gets a little better. My husband was off the first three days to help me and he has been wonderful. Those days are basically a blur. I am so lucky to have my hubs tho. For the first two days I had to have help to walk, to fix my little "nest" that I sit in, and do basically everything for me. I have had two c sections and this was way harder. But that being said I think it is going to be worth it. Yesterday my hubby helped me shower. I wasn't reallly sure if i was supposed to or not but I did anyway. So he called this am to check on me and ask about the drain output (btw it was 28 ml in both drains for 24 hours). And he said he didn't want me showering until after the drains came out! Ooops! I didn't tell him I already showered. But I did use hibiclens so maybe that helped. The percocet and valium work wonders. I have not had any more nausea.So the worst part right now is not being able to take care of my kids. They are little and only know that mama has a booboo and they cannot jump on me and I cant pick them up. I just feel bad for wearing my 60 year old mom out with my 2 and 4 year old. My husband is great but has to work alot so she is basically my only backup. I have posted before pics in my new VS bikini, Hopefully when the swelling goes down I will be able to wear it somewhere else than in the privacy of my own bathroom. BTW important to take a stool softener daily. I had a bm day 2 post op and had not problems. I highly recommend colace. Will update post op pics soon.

Day 5 PO- I woke up with bad headache again, chills, and temp of 100.0. Temp did go down. I took both Lortab and Tylenol (I know that was alot of acetaminophen but I was really wanting that temp down). I see my PS in the morning so I am ready for that. 24 hour count on both my drains was 40 ml. I am not sure he is going to pull them with them still putting that much out. I also have a bad case of thrush. I am using Nystatin left over from when my little boy had it over a year ago. My incision and drain site look fine but I still don't understand this temp, Please pray that it is just inflammation and not any kind of infection setting in. Thanks so much for prayers. I will try to post pics. I am pretty much couch bound today tho.
