OMG

I dropped my cell phone under the bed! I'm sure it'll be at least two bill cycles before I find the strength to get under there. lol. So I'll be using my laptop for everything. Its day 3 post-op and I feel better than yesterday. I need to have a bm. I got my pain pill down after crushing it and mixing it in my applesauce. It was gross  but on a brighter note I found these chewable calciums that are really great. They're sorta gummy but more like a soft chew. I will say one thing has been amazing is my lack of appetite. I am going to try this protein shake today with the water but it'll definitely be a process! Ok just really wanted to update you guys. Wearing two binders today just for some added support!

Haha , make someone crawl under the bed and grab that phone. I always had a list of stuff to be picked up off the floor when my partner came home lol.
Hang in there! It will get easier and easier.

You could always slowly get down on your hands and knees. Even though my daughter was great at picking stuff up off of the floor for me when I asked!!!

If you are still taking pain medication your bm might take a few days and it could be very painful. You might need to take a stool softener so you don't hurt yourself. The stuff I had to drink for the leak test worked for me

I am gonna wear the binder when it will fit around me again just to give my lower stomach 'flap' a lift and hopefully it will work after so I don't need the tummy tuck (I can dream)

Definately get someone to crawl under your bed.  I would go bonkers without my cell....lmao...I can't believe that's the case because I grew up without one.  What's a binder?  Do I need one?  Where do I get the best one?  Thanks.

Binder was put on after surgery by the OR team just added support for the abdominal mucles. They help me alot when moving around and from sitting or lying down to standing!

Good to hear you are feeling better!!  Just a quick question.......you are allowed to eat applesauce on the first week of your program?

Not at all I thinned it out with water and ate the crushed pill in it Probably less than 1/2 ounce. Very gross but thank you for checking me because youre absolutely right
