2 weeks post op plastics

Nov 02, 2013

It has been forever since I have updated this.  The last 2 weeks have been a roller coaster. Lots of pain but wow loving this new body. I had a tummy tuck, lipo in a couple areas, breast lift with small saline implants.  The tummy tuck and lipo have been painful I won't lie. I had a lot of improvement when on day 13 post op they took out the drain tubes.  It made just moving easier. I  was 153 lbs the morning of surgery and came home 161.  That scared the crud out of me but that is what swelling will do to you.  My family finally told me to leave the scale alone for a whole. I am a daily weigher and have been since July 2010 when I had RNY.  I did pretty good and was happier that I am at 154 now and still have a lot of swelling.  This is the best thing I have done (besides RNY). My tummy has never been this pretty and these boobs, WOW, I love it all.  As the swelling has diminished a little I just look at myself naked and am happy. Yeah, not model and still have flaws but who cares this tummy is awesome.  I am still sleeping on a chaise lounge in my bedroom but think I will try the bed tomorrow.  The lounger with pillows under my knees have been a god send for sleeping.  I took 2 1/2 weeks off from work and go back tomorrow.  I am nervous as I still get tired easy and when up too long I swell.  I just ordered a Merena girdle and hear they are awesome.  My  clothes still fit weird right now but I was able to find a couple things I own to hopefully get me through my work week. I might have to wear some unbuttoned pants with shirts over them because it is so sensitive. This may be tmi but I was so happy I still have good nipple sensation.  Whew, these amazing boobs and they still are arousing. I digress.  My stitches are healing nicely but I wish I had taken more photos.  I will try to add some  later today.  Thank you God for giving us great surgeons.
