Today I am PO day 4. Had my 2nd shower yesterday...
$9,081
Today I am PO day 4. Had my 2nd shower yesterday and only almost passed out 1 time. My 12 year old blow dried my hair and helped me not look like a zombie which made me feel better.
So I have on a compression binder, leggins and a sleep shirt which is pretty much how I feel most comfortable. I live in a big remote controlled recliner, which I would not have been able to do this operation without, and I am officially off any prescription meds. Just advil, Vit C and stool softeners now. I have had 1 BM on PO day 2 but that was a taxing experience so I hope the next one is better.
I had TT, MR and Lipo of the flanks done. Which makes me a Cassidy Balloon. My ass is so swollen. I have been sitting on frozen pees for 2 days which feels amazing. One a scale of 1 to 10 for pain I am at a 3. I am just super uncomfortable. Waiting for the drains to come out that is for sure. Not waiting for the pain pump to run out...those are great by the way.
So what would I say to someone getting ready for the surgery? You think are prepared, I was on this site night and day, but your not. Eat super clean, no salt (I am doing a lot of protein shakes and stir fry). Get wet wipes to clean your self and some for the bathroom. A way to sit in your shower is a MUST. Something to cover you up (comfy clothes) everything else doesn't really matter. Be prepared to sit...a lot!
I will try and post photos tomorrow morning. I look in the mirror and I see me...or what my image of me always was so it's odd. I am please. Swollen but pleased. Getting no where near the scale yet.
Keep up the healing ladies....

Congrats to tour arrival to the 'other' side. I am 8 days PO and I haven't touched my BB. Go for first post-op on Monday. Praying drains will be
removed but uncertain due to output. Not gonna worry because whatever
will be, will be. You take care, let others do for you and you get rest!

Oh please let me know what the Dr. says at the PO appointment, I am very interested. Mine is not until Thursday! Does you binder get looser ever day when you wake up? Not sure if it is the swelling going down or what..it's odd.

So I am showered and on my way. I must admit the excitement has turned to nervousness. I am trying to think of it like someone is actually going to MAKE me sleep (I love sleep and don't get enough of it) and when I wake up I am going to have a flat tummy. Hope to touch base tomorrow, see you guys on the flat side!
