I'm starting to regret this...

I am so swollen, it's really uncomfortable.  I've gained 10 pounds!!!!  I went through this regretful stage when I had my DS too, but this recovery is the worst ever!

My body is making this girgling sound and I'm more swollen than earlier today even though I've had a gallon water and peed all day.

ARGH!!!!!

Oh I hear ya!!  No words of wisdom, just gotta keep your eye on the prize.  If you have any idea on how to cope, let me know

I know what u mean the new twins are keeping me up at night screaming from pain but I cannot take pain meds  relaxant and be able to drive  my kids about. Tylenol is useless and plastic surgeon said no motrin  for 6 weeks  ugh  Twins  still have not settled down much but each passing  day is one step closer on healing. I keep my eye on prize and yesterday I got into my bathing suit to stick my feet in pool with kids but damn no bad  at all I had boobies and they looked good in swim suit not bad at all, I just wish the other twim would drop more but seems to always have one stubborn one LOL

I am with you guys too.  I had TT on April 20th and I feel like the biggest fatty wearing 2 sizes bigger now than before.  I also agree that mentally this surgery is horrible.  I can't wear any of my clothes except stretch pants and can't do hardly anything that I need to cause my tummy starts hurting and I get even more swollen.  My house is a mess and needs a serious deep clean and I can't even do that!!!  Its so frustrating!  I just keep think that it will be better!

Take your pain meds - pee as you must - and let go of regret....you will heal - it is a ***** - I did three plastics in 6 months - but you get through it and the outcomes are worth every minute of pain (at least they were for me)......the 10 pounds is waterweight - it will pee away......plastics are no walk in the park....not for the faint of heart......but you will be fine.....move around as much as you can...it will help with both recovery and mood.   Susan

Thanks Susan!

I am actually feeling way better than I did when I started this post.  I've accepted the horrific swelling from the lipo but the compression garment and the swelling are battling each other and it's a taking a huge toll on my body.

I had 5 procedures at once with slightly more than 8 hours of operating time so this recovery is a ***** and a half.  So yeah, I threw myself a big ole pity party...I'm in a much better place mentally now.  Just need to heal.
