5 Best & Worst Things After Mommy Makeover

3 month PO - feeling much better everyday. Swelling better, but not gone yet. Boobs FINALLY dropping YEAHH! Tummy tuck incision is healing great. Belly button still very sore and not healing quite as good as it should be. About 80% back to normal at work...can do all office stuff just fine, but still not close to normal on physical stuff. Self esteem/body image MUCH better!

10 weeks PO - tummy tuck incision is looking and healing fantastic! Belly button is still very sore/painful, but rest of muscle repair is feeling almost back to normal. Boobs...size is great (full C/small D), however they still have not dropped and PS wants to do surgery to correct. I am very upset! The thought of having to do another surgery after spending 2 months recovering from surgery is honestly very upsetting.

5 weeks PO - my Best 5 are 1. The mental transformation of my body image and how comfortable I am letting my DH see me - has brought us much closer. 2. The Dramatic Physical Change in my appearance - HUGE difference before and after. 3. Now looking forward to wearing a baithing suit again - have always avoided anything with water that I would have to wear a baithing suit for. This opens up a whole new world. Hawaii here I come!!! After I pay this surgery off of course. 4. How wonderful my DH was during the whole process - he didn't want me to have the surgery and now we are closer than ever. I find the TLC he gave me very romantic. 5. My boobs not falling out of the top of my bra every time I bend over. Worst 5 Things 1. The Recovery - It's long, hard and painful 2. The First few BMs - for me it was as bad as childbirth - worst part of the whole experience for me. It was BAAAADDDD!!!! 3. Lying to those I didn't tell about surgery - this was tough...but it's a personal thing that I didn't want the world to know. You tell 1 person and they tell 5, then everyone knows. So I didn't tell anyone but my DH. 4. Feeling so dependent and vulnerable - this surgery makes you look ahead to what it's going to be like when you are old. I didn't like not being able to do a damn thing and having to ask for help. 5. The guilt of spending this kind of money on me...when there are so many other things we needed. 5 Best Supplies 1. My adjustable bed - it was amazing! 2. Bath Chair & Shower Head thingy on a hose. 3. Enema, stool softners, Miralax - these saved my life 4. Cough Syrup & Drops - trust me...coughing is the last thing you want to do. 5. Help - you CANNOT and SHOULD NOT do this alone. If you don't have enough help for the first several weeks then wait until you do!
