7 Days to Go ! - Miami, FL

So I went to my doctors appointment today to get measured for my stage one compression garment... I really don't get the difference between stages but whatever. I'm so glad that I'm done with the binder but for real this mother is tight... Doctor showed me a picture of all the skin and fat he cut off. Gross but very interesting. Don't know if you guys care to see that ... If so let me know and I will post if not I will post on my fridge so I never over eat again lol jk I think today I overdid it. Ladies no joke even if you feel good take it easy for the first two weeks at least. I'm so tired it's ridiculous. So doctor told me to start the lymphatic massages on belly so he gave me the card of a massage therapist he recommends. I will call and schedule for Friday. Does anyone else feel like scratching their skin off??? My lipo sites are so itchy.... I welcome suggestions. Other than that all is moving along better than expected... I'm glad I used real self to mentally prepare myself... It's really made it easier. Oh and does anyone know how much longer I can expect to be in a recliner? I tried my bed but still felt uncomfortable.

Well it's been one week since my mommy makeover and I couldn't be happier! I look in the mirror and even though I'm still swollen and my boobs are still in their process I couldn't be happier. My doctor is a genius! I'm quite swollen beneath my belly button but hey that's a part of the process. I'm officially off the narcotics just taking Extra Strength Tylenol. Oh and as far as boobs are concerned be religus about the massage exercises...not only do they cure some of the aches but they help transform the boobs beautifully. I think right now I'm a DD which is bigger than I wanted but hey what the hell they look good and when the swelling goes down they will be smaller. Anyone know how soon I can start driving...doctor says 14 days but that varies with each person... I would love to hear from you all.... That's all for now!
