Sit down put you feet up and try not to use your arms for a bit . That always makes mine swell. Maybe ice ? I only used it a couple of times . Didn't like it :-)

I have fairly young children and it was hard for me to not jump back in the groove after one week of being catered to. So prop your feet up and rest (I loved icing) and remember to listen to your body, swelling is normal but the less you can use your arms the better!

It's really hard to rest. I live by myself, so if I want clean clothes or food, I need to do it. Plus it just gets hard to keep sitting around :)

Holy smokes your PS made you so perky, you look fantastic. I think you already said it, you did too much. It has only been 10 days since you had a pretty big surgery. You may feel great but your body still needs rest to rebuild. I worked 4 hours today and felt great then found myself asleep with the dog for an hour and I'm almost 5 weeks.

I had my first post op visit yesterday. I had the staples removed. Very happy about that. I stopped all meds after day 2. Didn't need them anymore and they made sleeping difficult. My PS said to shower everyday. I have to take a wash cloth and clean the area really well and only wear surgical bra. The area has been itchy, but not as bad as I was expecting. At first, I was freaked out. My breasts looked foreign to me and washing them gave me the heebie jeebies lol. Now I am in love. The nurse yesterday said I was healing well and once I am healed and the scabs are gone, I can start with the Mepiform scar treatment sheets. They are not cheap, but asked my pharmacist if they could get them and very happy to report they can and for less than one third of the cost from my PS office. I can drive now, so I have been everywhere lol. Went grocery shopping last night and that went well. I have been lucky with my healing so far. No setbacks. Still trying not to overdo it tho. I don't want any splits. Will post more in a few days. :)

Your results look great, and you were still left with a nice size. That is one of my worries is that I will feel like I'm left with nothing :(. I just got to hope for the best. Happy healing and I look forward to reading through your recovery. I go next week

Doing really well. Hardly any pain at all. Just had a shower and am air drying my new babies. I love them. You can see there's lots of bruising from the lipo, but its actually better than yesterday already. The Dr gave ocy's but I am having a hard time sleeping, so will ask if I can switch to something else . All in all I feel really good. My friend is spoiling me rotten. So happy this is finally over and done. Woohoo!!!!!
