How it feels after a tummy tuck

 I'm having a tummy tuck in two weeks.  I have never had a flat stomach and was wondering what it is like to have a flat stomach.  How dose it feel after you eat.  Are you able to ware a form fitting top?  Are you self-conscious about your stomach?  I'm excited but very nerves.

Thanks,
Mindy

Most likely in the beginning you will have swelling and a binder but after the drains are out and you are in the shower you will marvel every second feeling and rubbing your flat tummy.

I'm 11 months out and still in awe of my flat tummy. At home I find myself lifting up my shirt and looking in the mirror every chance I get. My girls think I'm silly

At first, my stomach felt so tight I could not eat much solid food so I stuck to mostly protein shakes for a week or so.

I wish you a smooth recovery!!
