hi SusanToday, was the first day that I don't feel so tight, and can move. I love your words, "the joy Of recovery, I am not swollen, so I am grateful,
did you lose any weight yet, I am holding fast at 140, I am wondering when should I go back to work?
I just need a little more energy and i will be OK, so we will be able to plot and plan our next surgery?

Today was my best day yet. I am still swollen and have a pot belly, but I spoke to my doc today and he said it is completely normal after having the drains removed. The fluid will sit until absorbed. He said nothing to be concerned about.
I am down 12 lbs since my surgery and thats with all the fluid and water retention. They removed over 23 lbs of skin and tissue, so I am hoping more will come off. I cant wait to start exercising, I am so concerned about what I eat and gaining weight. I am trying not to go above 1500 calories a day and snack on healthy foods. It is NOT EASY!!! lol
I am going back to work Tuesday, God willing :)
I was just contemplating a breast lift within the next year.
