Glad to hear you are doing good.  I was wondering how it went.  I just uploaded some pics.  I feel pretty good too.  The pain I experienced hasn't been too bad.

I am 10 days out and feel exactly the same way! I am on my way to Dr right now in hopes of having one of my drains taken out.  Also, I am down to 2 percocet per day. I was taking 2 every 4 hours hours the first week!! So it gets better each day.  Getting rig of my swelling is my next goal.

Yeah for you!!! You aint never lied about that pain, it was bad for me for the first three days then got better each day.  I am now two weeks out tomorrow and still have some soreness, and lots of pain when I caugh or sneeze.  Other than that, much much better.  Drains were taken out two days ago and I am loving that.  Just wish I didnt swell.  I was 139lbs day after surgery now 142 ish...not happy about that, but clothes still fit loosly so that is a plus. 

Good luck to you and your Victoria Secret shopping spree is coming soon.
God is good all the time!!

Congrats! Stay positive! Every day will be a little better than the day before. In no time, you'll forget the first few awful days especially after the drains are removed. Thankfully, I never experienced unbearable pain, but the lower back pain due to walking hunched was the worst pain and I don't even remember it now that I'm 17 days out. My abdomen is very tight now, but not necessarily painful. Thighs are very sore due to swelling but I think I'm doing everything possible to reduce swelling so I'm taking it day by day.  I just posted a few pics on my profile. 

I have a ton of stuff in my Shopping Cart at Victoria'sSecret.com.  Just waiting until all of the swelling is gone so that I know what size to buy. :-) 

Happy healing!
