Hello,
I am scheduled to have liposuction of my abdomen Nov. 7. I am taking 5 days off from work. I sit at a desk all day and have my own office so I figured that would be enough time. I am a bit worried because I have only told 5 people so far, including my best friend who is going to bring me home the first day. I do not have help on the following days, though. My boyfriend is going to check on me everyday but he is extremely busy and we are kind of in a new relationship, so I do not want to ask for too much. Do you guys think I will need a lot of physical support?
I will post some pics of the before shortly.

I am 2 weeks post op I think 5 days off from work should be ok. I think the worst day is the day after but each day gets better. Just make sure to take your meds and you should be fine. Good luck.

Your welcome. Any other questions we are her for you and all the best of luck during your surgery and recovery.

I think you will be fine. Trying to think back on my time, I think after the first week I probably would have been just fine going back to work. Luckily I work from home at the moment so I didn't have to worry about it, but pain pills will definitely make u more tired a lot fast though

Thanks for the advice. I will try to keep the pain pills at a minimum when I go back to work (although I can lock the door and take a nap if necessary, LOL)

I am three days post op. While I still have some soreness, I am finally able to get up easily to walk around the house. I have been sleeping a lot for the past 3 days but that is due to the medications. I have not eaten a full meal since Tuesday and today I am going to try to eat.
I have had a lot of fluid drainage. But I can see the great results. My doctor is the best. He calls me twice a day to check in on me. Also, my best friend spent the first 12 hours with me, as did my boyfriend. If they did not spend time with me, I have no idea how I would have gotten through that first day.
I will post pics later, but wanted to update everyone.

The first few days are rough after a week you will feel much better. Get some rest and continue taking your meds. Try eating just soup and crackers ( that was my diet for the first week lol). Happy healing can't wait to see your pics.

My breakfast. lunch and dinner yesterday was a reubun sandwich. I took three attempts to finish one sandwich. Also i have not done a #2 since Tuesday. Is this weird?
November 11, 2012
Lol no not weird the meds can make you constipated. Try eating a bananna but after a week you should be able to use the bathroom. Same happened to me.
