Anxious, Nervous, and EXCITED!!! - Scottsdale, AZ

Hi All! I made it to the other flat side! I'm 4 days post op and I feel great so far. Everyday I can feel a great deal of progress being made as far as pain and mobility. I'm still super swollen but not enough that I can't see a difference. My back is tender from the lipo and burns a bit at times but nothing to complain about. In fact, I'm sort of nervous that I'm feeling so good. Part of me is like did the dr not get everything cuz a lot was there. LOL I just think it helped that I expected the worse and am pleasantly surprised. The Dr said he took off 8lbs of skin and fat from my abdominal area. I didn't realize how heavy my stomach felt until it was gone. Sort of a weird sensation. I want to thank everyone for all of the love and support. I see my ps on Tuesday and will update then.

Well I have 3 more days until I see my PS about my tt and lipo on June 11th. I have so many questions for him. This site has helped me so much! I'm getting really excited and nervous. I really wanted to lose more weight but found myself nesting and getting things ready for my kids and my husband. I know I'm gonna be out of commission for awhile so I want everything to be done so I won't have too much guilt for being laid up in bed. My husband and son are great! They are excited for me and are ready to take care of me. I'm worried about my little ones. They are 4 and 19months old. I know it's going to be tough but I want this sooo bad. Hopefully, time will fly by and I will be looking back telling myself how crazy I was not to do this sooner. I plan on posting some before pictures soon once I muster up enough courage. LOL

So 5 more days until my pre-op appointment. I'm still really excited about my tt and lipo but am also getting a little scared. I noticed that I've been dwelling a little too much on what could go wrong instead of the positive. I'm assuming this is normal. It's like I go thru waves of being so stinkin excited to thinking what the heck am I doing. One of my questions for the PS is how soon can I start taking diet pills after the surgery? I've read several different comments about people wanting to eat a lot at a certain point of their of their recovery. I want to try and prevent that if possible. Has anyone else thought about this? Also, are you supposed to shave your VJ completely before or is that something that the PS does? I just want to be prepared I guess. LOL
