I have a full tummy tuck done in two days, March 19th, 2015. My oldest child is 19 and my youngest will be 2 in June. My belly is stretched out and I am just so tired of feeling so self conscience. I had a laprascopic hysterectomy 4 weeks ago so I am still recovering from that but my dr and my plastic surgeon agreed that it would be fine. I've been dragging my feet in writing this and putting pictures up because they look so bad to me. Yuck! But I figured that I like seeing every one else's progress maybe some would like to see mine.
I do have a c-setion scar from my oldest that is pretty crooked because it was emergency but my surgeon said that he will cut it out and straighten everything. He makes me feel very comfortable and I really cannot wait for this.

So tonight I figured I should update on what's been going on. I made it!!! I have to leave my binder and dressings on until my Dr takes them off so I still haven't seen my belly. I'm not too worried about it because I feel like if I didn't have this binder on I wouldn't feel put together (if that makes sense).
I only have one drain and its been steadily going down. Yesterday it was 30-40ml twice and today its been 25ml when measured. I am getting a burning pain when I move around which I am assuming is where the drain is coming out and its really annoying.
Last night my husband picked up a hospital bed from his parents house so I could get somewhat comfortable. I did sleep so much better and not as sore this morning.
As the day has been progressing I am just sore and can't get comfy. Food is also something I just can't tolerate unless I am taking pain pills. It just tastes icky to me. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

Today has been a very down kind of day. It really is true when they say your emotions are all over the place. I know it is all temporary and I think part of my problem is that I still haven't seen my belly. I've peeked at parts of the scar which looks pretty thin so I am happy about that but I just want to see it all. I could cheat and take my binder and dressings off but I really want to follow my doctor and let him remove it. I am trying to stay ahead of the pain too which is getting better. The worst of it is in the morning first getting up. I'm super stiff and my back hurts incredibly from being hunched over all the time. Sorry for all the complaining today I am just having a very off day today. :-(
