Prayers for a safe and successful surgery tomorrow! Let us know how you are when you are able to!!🙏🏻😊

Florida would be nice too!

Texas anyone? Italy sounds AWESOME!!

Doing much much better. Standing up a little straighter each day. Actually helped make dinner tonight. Had a lot of help but I did a little. It was nice.

You can order one off of amazon. That’s where I got mine for my surgery. It was like $80. Research them out of course. I’m sure there are some crappy ones. The one I got is a rechargeable one bc I needed it to drive bk 4 hours home.

Very exciting!!! This time tomorrow you will be almost done w your procedure!!

One more day!! Excited for you!!

Thanks for the recipe!! Adding it to list to make!!

Is that butter lettuce? It looks really good. I don’t do tortillas so that’s a really good option for me! Recipe for the filling?

So pain from incisions is very very low. It’s mainly my back from walking hunched over. Sending hub for a cane today. Back feels broken.

So true!! Worth it!!

Thursday! Yay!

Wednesday is the day right!!? Counting down! Very exciting!! I’m on day 6. Excited for you!!

Yum!! I’m obsessed w avocado!! That looks so good!!

You’ve done amazing!! This is your big present for reaching goal and keeping it! Congrats!!!!

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
