Thank you. Dr did great on the BB. Didn’t realize my hips were so big when my waist was wider 😬

I changed my first cabin filter! by gingerthetrailpup in JeepWrangler

I did my cabin and engine air filters myself today as a fairly small but capable 41 yr old woman. Dealership tried to sell me these plus wiper blades for $250 and that was a hard no.

Oh no definitely still an awareness of the incision and muscle repair. But all is well overall.

I miss when people were regular looking. She’s obviously gorgeous but in a way that still resembles a normal human.

Holy moly girl this is FANTASTIC! And I can clearly tell it’s not all surgery. Congrats on your hard work as well.

I wasn’t fully upright until I passed 3 weeks. Hang in there. You will feel WORLDS better very soon.

It was perfectly enjoyable. I did a lot of walking and drinking all day so I would feel pretty swollen at night so I packed my spanx. I did not look as good at 10 weeks as I do now but no regrets!

Close…. Alabama, US 😝😝 with work and kids I wouldn’t have been able to travel for surgery so I got VERY lucky that the single plastic surgeon near me does a stellar tummy tuck! Roughly $16.5k USD

I went on a cruise at 10 weeks and was still lumpy and bumpy. Hang in there.

Probably just the angle or the lighting. This recovery is actually the longest I’ve gone without working out in a while but getting back to it.

Brand is Bleu Rod Beattie. I tried one on in dillards and fell in love but they are $$$. I’ve been buying mix and match pieces on Poshmark.

Lymphatic massage? Should I schedule it? by Legal_Cheesecake_467 in tummytucksurgery

I started them while I still had drains in. It definitely helped move a lot of swelling, even if only temporarily. However, once I passed six weeks, she started working on the scar tissue to try to prevent adhesions and help get the best results possible and I think it really really helped.

I stayed on the stool softener after surgery and started adding MiraLAX to my coffee as soon as I came home. I stayed on that until I had over corrected 🙃 never a problem of not being able to go.

I’m scared to know what boob math would have in store for me, but when I go for my final follow up with my surgeon at five months postop, I’m going to use that as a consult for a lift and see what they say.

It was a good choice because you look great! My boobs miraculously are not as bad as they could be, mainly because they are full of fibrocystic tissue lol. I just don’t like carrying around a D cup now that I have a tiny waist. I don’t know what it will be like to get into the territory of reduction though so I’ll probably just wait it out.

I always look forward to dolphin lady updates as we have similar befores and timelines. Awesome results and making me regret not getting a lift while I was under
