4 days out from Extended tt

Well I am 4 days post extented tummy tuck! Couldn't be happier, well maybe if my back would quit hurting!   I have NO bruising at all!!! Amazing!!! My surgeon had me drink 1 qt of pineapple juice a day for a week before surgery and 3 days after.  it helps with bruising and swelling. I really don' t know if it helped with swelling or not don't have anything to compare to! But I really think my swellling is minuimal!  it is a little difficult to get around, not bad but there is alittle pain and pulling but I don't take pain med's until bedtime don't need them until then cause I want to make sure I sleep good. I am going to post a picture it isn't very good tried taking it myself when I got out of shower tonight more later.  I love my plastics surgeon!!!!

Congrats!

If you're in a recliner and your back is hurting, try putting a small but thick pillow under your thighs just above your knees.  For me it helped take the pressure off my lower back.

I tried that it didn't  seem to help that much..Dr. office told to go to bed so hopfully that will help stretch out my back!

Good to hear you are through the surgery. Best wishes on continued good recovery!

I sure don't mind pineapple juice... Any idea how that helps with the bruising and swelling?
