5 incisions here.

I've been able to wear my bra since I left the hospital (2 weeks post op now). Sorry it's so uncomfortable for you

So, you just had a panni? Not an actual tummy tuck? Looks great!!

I was very emotional and cried a lot on day 4....like anna, I also hated having to sneeze or cough because I thought I was going to die....I'm now 9 days post op and feel a lot better. That being said, I'm sooooo looking forward to next week, when I can finally eat an egg I still get tired very easily, but I don't have much pain anymore. It will get better, just hang in there.

I didn't have any problems with drinking in the hospital and still haven't had any....9 days post op. As for the peeing, did you have a catheter at first? I did and the nurse told me they sometimes make your bladder "lazy", so she said if I didn't pee pretty quickly after it was out, to make sure I went and sat on the toilet and tried every time I walked. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems peeing

Kim, I'm 8 days post op and have been doing the same thing Hope everything gets resolved with your clot!

Thanks for the link....requested mine.

Dr. Katsis was my surgeon....really liked him. I have my two week follow up with him on the 21st.

Congratulations!!!

I would love a copy of this as well!!

Yes, I had some pudding yesterday and today.....was the best thing ever! You're already going back to work? I feel for you....I'm scheduled off for 2 weeks, and just hoping I feel like going back then....I sure couldn't imagine going back tomorrow. Good luck!

I'm 4 days post op and I've been emotional today.....several crying bouts.....do not like feeling this way.....hoping it goes away soon. Have been wondering why I did this to myself and just want to eat some real food. Trying to hold it together!

Are you still sore? I am.....still just the one area, but that's more than enough. My NUT said limit myself to one cup of decaf tea a day, but today that's all I've really been able to drink. Feeling quite emotional today too.....hoping that passes soon

Sending positive thoughts! Keep us informed

Sending good thoughts your way! Keep us updated

I too am still worried about blood clots....the thought terrifies me. As for the nausea, my surgeon prescribed a scopolamine patch for nausea. I have to put it behind my ear the night before surgery. I just keep telling myself it will be okay

I know! I can't wait till Monday when I can have broth instead of the carnation....I told my son it's going to taste like Heaven in my mouth

No, I'm August 6th and I definitely know what you mean about the liquid diet. Today is day 8 for me and I just want FOOD. From reading other pre-op diet posts on this site, I think Bailey's has the strictest there is. I see that there are others that do 2 weeks of liquids, but their liquids include actual protein shakes and stuff. And there are so many that get to have one small healthy meal for dinner.......if only we were that lucky

Y'all are so lucky Today is day 8 of my liquid diet and I have 6 more days of it.....the first couple of days I was so hungry I wanted to gnaw my arm off, then it got better....but then yesterday it was bad again. It wasn't even that I was really hungry yesterday, I just wanted some REAL FOOD. I keep telling myself it's all worth it in the end.

Ladybug, a couple of people I know had Dr. Varnell as well and really liked him. They gave me Dr. Katsis.

My late husband had Raynaud's....similar effects....you should get checked out.

Now I'm worried...I bought some grape frost and alpine punch (just an 8 pk of each) for later on. Hopefully, I can choke it down

I'm glad you guys are feeling better today....I'm actually more tired today than the last two days.
