Day 6 post PS: Days 2,3,4 were the most painful I’ll say. Doing great today. Calling surgeon w my fluid out take and he will decide when I’m coming in for my next appt based on that. Since I have a almost 4 hour drive he doesn’t want me coming in unnecessarily. Hardly have anything coming out of them so I bet I go in this week. Abdomen has very little pain now. Breasts feel swollen and sore. Think I need a better supported bra to hold them closer. Im in a fruit of the loom front button sports bra. My body is smaller than the cup size so the around part doesn’t fit secure but the cup area I’m def filling that part up. Not sure what I would do without this forum. Everyone has been so helpful w tips and encouragement. 💛Thanks everyone!!💛Wish we all lived closer and could do a yearly get together!

So exciting!! That’s good, I didn’t take any before pics and I wish I had asked surgeon for a pic of the meat he took off my belly!!

🎉One more day!!!🎉

Awesome!!!!

💛Thank you!💛

That’s good to hear bc I’m so scared to look. I’m afraid bc of the swelling and it not looking like the final product yet that I’ll be disappointed even though I know it will take time to look like how it will be. I’ve kept the binder on. Due to shower so I’m not going to look then either. It’ll make me whoozy which I know sounds weird since I work in the OR but on myself that grossed me out but on other no big deal I could eat lunch right after seeing it.

I’ve had zero appetite since surgery. Anyone else exp that? Normally I’d be happy about that but I know I need the protein to heal.

Yea I can’t lay on my side either bc of my drains from the TT. I know I’ll be in the recliner for a while. Just missing my bed. I totally get just wanting to curl up on my side in bed. Good news is I’ve been off of all pain meds aside from Tylenol in the evening since Friday. So on my way up! Or on the downhill some say! Lol

I’m officially over my recliner. I want my bed back!

Congratulations!!!! So exciting!

@chubrub and @kristieshannon. I’m So excited for y’all!! Think someone wrote something about using a cane to walk. If you have one you can borrow that will help. My back hurts from being hunched.

Oh I see. Yes I’m moving around. I Look like the hunch back of Notre Dam but I’m getting around ok. Waiting for my miralax to work if you know what I mean. Lol

Wow! Getting real quick huh?!! I’m feeling ok. Pain has been rough past couple of days but it’s def manageable pain though. I have seen the girls and they are swollen but look great! Haven’t seen all of my tummy. Just had hub check on my belly button. So far so good. Keep saying to myself it’s all worth it once I’m all healed up! It will be! Careful on going to places bc of your COVId test. I was afraid to get waxed and my pedicure bc w my luck I’d somehow pick it up. Not sure where you live but it’s getting pretty bad down here again. I’m in Texas.

Are you getting excited?!!

Sent you a PM

I can’t imagine the pain of the arms on top of the pain/soreness of TT.

Thank you @greentael This for sure is rough.

Oh so I’ve got a ways to go then...hub has been wonderful. ESP since I’m calling on him for everything. Luckily he works from home. I took 3 weeks off of work. I was thinking for sure I’d be back at two weeks. Currently w how I feel I’m not so sure

FYI I’m on day 3 of recovery. Surgery was Wednesday

Well I gotta say the breast lift and aug isn’t very painful but that may be due to the fact that the tummy tuck is very sore/painful. Dr says yesterday and today would be the worst of it. Anyone have a positive words on the tummy tuck on when this got better for them?🙏🏻😊🙏🏻 I know it’ll all be worth it soon!!

I had one too.

Did any of y’all have a foley when you had your procedures?

I don’t have a history either. I believe He said Bariatric patients are more likely to have clots. He just called to check in on me. “All is well!!” So glad. No nausea after surgery bc I asked them not to give me gas. Makes me super sick. They just did IV drugs to keep me asleep. Think I’m the Anesthesia world it’s called TEVA.

This my trying on the 450cc

Yea my hub will be doing them. I do t think I can stick myself lol But I know it’s a good thing. Def don’t want to throw a clot
