MM - 1 Week PO
Well I had my 1st PO appt today, for the first phase of my stitches removal (it was quick & painless). Apparently, I had 700 ccs of fat removed and 265 grams of tissue from the TT (not sure I wanted to know this, but I did). I'm moving around pretty good (just SLOWLY). I actually did laundry and did some shopping. Tonight is my 3rd attempt to sleep in the bed...I will CONQUER THIS 2NITE :)

Hello, I'm doing really well, returning to work tomorrow. You?
It's my understanding that my PS only provides garments once. I received a larger bra (because the 1st once bruised my skin TERRIBLY) and I requested a longer binder.
Happy Healing :)

MM - Day 6 PO
Yesterday was my second failed attempt to sleep in my bed. Renting the lift recliner was the BEST decision. The chair is so comfortable, I'm actually thinking about extending my rental agreement. Laying flat in the bed KILLS ME!!
Now my 1st real shower was quite comical. I borrowed a shower seat from a girlfriend (after reading how beneficial it was in a review). So I put in the shower then after I removed my compression garments, I thought I would be fine without it. I go to remove the chair while the showers running and the chair gets caught on the shower liner and water was EVERYWHERE. Once all the craziness settled the shower was fine. I was a tad nervous applying soap/water, but I survived. I have my post-op tomorrow they'll remove my stitches then.
I'm still really swollen. So I can't quite see any curves yet...HOPEFULLY there under all this swelling.

MM - Day 5 PO
I'm still too swollen to see the benefits of the surgery. I'm really trying to be positive, but it's HARD!! Especially, since I worked so hard to lose weight and know I look and feel like, I've found it again. Ok, that's my "Debbie Downer" moment.
The good news is that I'm not in any pain, more discomfort. I'll take my first show this morning, however the thought taking off my bra and binder TERRIFIES me. I know I'm extending my "Debbie Downer" moment...HAPPY POSITIVE THOUGHTS FROM HERE!!!

Keep thinking positive! :-) It's hard when you feel like the cards are against you right now... but your time is coming. It will be worth it- it's just time. And maybe if it's nice outside, you could sit in a chair outside and get some sunshine. It always makes me feel better. Happy thoughts!

Stay positive. I have had terrible swelling too! I am so much bigger now that I can barely pull my workout pants over my booty (& I didn't even have work on it). As I'm learning, the swelling is going to plague us for awhile & those with lipo will probably have it worse. If it wasn't for the patient care coordinator at my PS telling me how tiny & awesome my tummy looked when he completed the surgery, I would be very depressed right now. I was very "out of it" the 1st 3 days, so bye the time I walked into the bathroom & looked in the mirror (I had a catheter the first 2 1/2 days) I was so swollen! I understand the depression thing. I am normally so upbeat & on-the-go but now I just sit & watch life go on without me. I feel bad b/c school has started & my family has a lot of activities to attend & most of them I have to forgo.
I know it will get better. Just like what I had to do when I was miserably huge & pregnant with my twins, " take it one day at a time.". Everyday gets a tiny bit better & we are that much closer to our "dream self."
