9.5weeks post tummy tuck

Hello again...sorry it has been so long without a pic but I will have some today! Life is pretty much back to normal for me i still swell when i'm on my feet for long periods of time and when i work out but other than that i'm me again! I still wear my binder when i workout or I know i'm going to be on my feet for a while like at work or something. well here are the pics i took today!

7 weeks post op

I know it has been a while since  I updated but here goes....I went to the Dr. on Thursday (my actual 7 week day) and he said I'm not restricted on any exercise anymore and that I can stop wearing my binder 24/7. Those words were like music to my heart!! I still wear it when I exercise because I just feel like I need that extra support plus I swell when I exercise....The swelling has gone down quite a bit here lately which is awesome! The Dr. did tell me that he wants to do a revision of my scar on the ends to make it look better which is  no biggy because It takes 15 mins in the office and its under local. I'm gonna wait till cooler weather where I won't be in my bathing suit anymore before I decide to do that. ummmm.....not much else to say but I don't really have any pics here lately because I keep forgetting to take them! I will def. have some up next Thursday (8 weeks) so stay tuned!

5 weeks post Tummy Tuck

Well hate to say it but still not many changes this week....I have been swelling less (i think) but i still swell especially after i exercise. I am getting really bored with running and doing the elliptical! I wanna start back Zumba but as of last week doctor still says no...bummer! I have an appt. next Thursday which I hope he will let me start doing weights and zumba again!! I am still not supposed to lift anything over 5lbs which i have been cheating hear lately (I KNOW I KNOW!) because my 1 year old child has to get into a buggy sometimes and I just can't see me asking someone to put her in there for me! plus she likes to swing (don't tell my dr). I do try to lift with my arm muscles instead of my abs so that I don't mess up anything inside there...It has never hurt me when lifting her so i think i'm ok! Nothing really else to report.....God bless and here are the pics everyone wants lol.....I think ya'll could care less about all this blah blah blah lol

4 weeks post tummy tuck

Well it has been a month since I had my tummy tuck....not much has changed, I still swell and its really starting to get me down! I just wanna look down at a flat belly but I know its going to take time but it just gets old. I started back running on Monday which was great until my stupid shoes started rubbing blisters on my feet....def. gonna need a new pair soon! Still having a hard time fitting into my preop jeans due to swelling which sucks. I have a hard time trying to find stuff in my closet to wear because of this. I am gonna live in yoga pants and dresses for a while because I refuse to buy bigger jeans!!! lets just say I don't have patience when it comes to stuff like this! I am still a little sore where they did the lipo and some in my ab muscles but I can def tell its getting better. Really nothing much else to say!

Before and after...my udders in all their glory lol

still looks swollen and all that crap and you can see my old belly button more but that will be under any bathing suit so its no biggy.

3 week Post tummy tuck

WOW I can't even believe it has been 3 already! I have been going on with my life like normal now even though I am still sore and some what hunched over by the end of the day. I have been only doing the elliptical and treadmill at the gym per Dr.s orders :). I have still been in the bed and resting comfortably but still get really stiff by the morning. ummmmm....not much has changed except I'm not quite as swollen in the am but once I'm up all day and go to the gym I pretty much look 5 months pregnant. The incision looks good and is healing quite nicely! I am still sore where the did they lipo on my sides (but who wouldn't be right?). I was putting on my binder the other day and I had a really sharp pain in my side that almost took my breath. It lasted for like 30 seconds then quit. It was in the spot on my right side where I had the lipo and I immediatly thought that I had hurt something inside that I wasn't supposed to so I called the Dr. and they told me it was normal It was my feeling coming back. Well here are some pics from this am as soon as I rolled out of bed (at my smallest point in the day).

This was actually yesterday :)

16 Days post tummy tuck

Well  I have been sleeping in the bed for the last 3 nights which was great! The only complaint I have about it is that I get a little stiff by the morning time. Anyway today was my first day back to work which wasn't bad at all...I tried to sit down when I could and  I didn't lift anything that I wasn't supposed to. After work I went to the gym and did 6 miles on the elliptical and then came home ate lunch took a shower and got ready for my date with hubby for his birthday (Outback, Sweet Frog and We're the Millers). Needless to say I have been on my feet all day and of course I am swollen once again but what else is new. I did get a new binder that DOESN'T zip up the side like the one the PS gave me when I had the procedure done. I find that the one that zips up the side is very uncomfortable and it digs into my side when i''m sleeping on that particular side. I didn't wanna have to spend the extra money on one that I wont be wearing much after the next month but washing it everyday was getting old and besides it was getting a little big anyway :).I have decided since there isn't much change going on I am just going to update weekly unless something new happens or I have anything i need to share with you. I am now home relaxing and fixing to go lay down in bed because getting up at 530am and not stopping till 10pm is enough to wear anyone out! Good night and God bless!

New Binder (don't mind black undies) lol

1st day back to the grind :)

2 weeks post op!

I cannot even believe it has been 2 weeks!!! I have been a little less swollen in the mornings here lately so the pics i took for this post were first thing this am when i'm at my smallest. I FINALLY go to sleep in my bed last night which was GREAT! I am still a little sore when rolling over but other than that I'm good to go and I can get up by myself! I have lost 4 lbs since surgery but I don't know if mother nature has anything to do with it because i usually gain 5lbs around that time every month. Anyway I'm looking forward to going to the gym again today even if its going to be in the afternoon because my girls have check ups this am. I have to bring someone with me to hold them for their shots because i don't want them to kick or hurt me lol. other than that there really isn't anything new to post but if something happens thats new before the end of the day I will update this post :)
