Smart Lipo Scheduled for 12/28/11

Today is day 3 and I feel MUCH better! Trying to shower and cover the incision spots yesterday was torture and after walking around Costco I felt I overdid myself. But thankfully today I seem to be done draining and can even getout of bed by myself- a huge accomplishment :-) My muscles are definitely sore but I feel as close to normal as I have since before the surgery. I am excited to see my results over the next few months. I definitely look and feel thinner- when my arms are at my sides they don't touch my sides like they used to. I have new curves :-) the skin, though, looks like I have been hit by a truck! But I am going to start applying the arnica cream now that my incisions are closing up. Will post before and after pics as I am more up and around.

Well it has been 5 hours since the surgery and I feel fine :-) . It definitely feels likemy muscles are swollen and the incision spots are sore, but nothing a pain pill can't fix.. i'm not sure I can have advil yet- I will have to read up on that.

The surgery itself wasn't bad. There were parts that were uncomfortable for sure, but over all not too bad. I forget how many cc's he said were removed, but he said it was equivilent to 11 pounds. Still really swollen, but that is to be expected.

Tomorrow's the big day.. excited and nervous all at the same time. I will update as I am able :-)
