1week PO
Had a shower. Swelling in my abdomen down. No pain meds. Feeling good today. Went out for lunch with hubby. Getting stronger. It is still hard to get comfortable and sleep more than 2-3 hours at night. Overall taking it easy. Relaxing is key. When i tried laying in my bed last night my left breast felt sore and pressure like pain so i went to couch and propped myself up. Is this normal?
6 Days PO!!!!
Today I really feel like I have turned a corner. Sorry for not updating sooner. The pain meds really drag me down. Percocet and phenergen wiped me out. I had to get up every 2 hours to pee, so sleeping through the night is not possible. Got my drains out yesterday. Did not hurt, just felt wierd. Finally had a BM on day 5 PO, that also helped me feel better. The swelling in abdomen and hips is the hardest part for me. Skin is VERY TIGHT. Wearing a compression garment and sports bra. Sleeping in a recliner. Tonight I will go back to my bed with a wedge pillow. The only pain I have really had is my lower back from being hunched over and sleeping in the recliner. I also got my stitches in my belly button removed yesterday along with my drains. No more pain meds, only Motrin for back pain. Drinking lots of water and diet cranberrry juice, eating bananas, boiled egg whites, salad, yogurt, and jello. On my procedure, I did not do the breast lift, only augmentation, 300 cc silicone round textured. The PS did not feel that the shape would change enough to justify the amount of scarring from doing lift. He assured me I would be very happy with the natural shape. I trust his opinion. I was told I dont have to massage them. Just wear sports bra and compression garment for 3 weeks and 22 hours a day. Steri strips on incisions will fall off. Return for appt in 3 weeks. I feel better each day. Day 2 , 3 , & 4 was uncomfortable just from CG. Cant wait to continue improving. So glad the worst is over. IT HAS BEEN SOOOO WORTH IT ALREADY. Here are a few pics taken 2 days ago. Swelling and bruising has lessened. I will update again soon.
