Hey mommyES! Things are going so well. (I should knock on wood!) my bruising is already fading, the sensation is coming back to the lipo areas and I am moving around so much better.
My pain management doc increased my usual meds and it worked out great. I am down to three times a day from 1 every 4 hours. I will start trying Extra Strength Tylenol tomorrow.
I took my first shower and washed my hair all by myself!!!! Then, I was able to put my CG on myself too! Woo-Hoo! Then I went back to bed. LOL!
Tomorrow is my first PO appointment. I hope he's as happy as I am. I'm kind of hungry and if I'm going to have something other than protein smoothies I need to get back in my kitchen!
I am sure PS will take pictures so I will have him email me all he has of me.
How are you? Sleeping?
If you haven't had that elusive bm yet try this. Hopefully you can find it where you are: Smooth Move Tea ( real original product name, right!) and Mira Lax. Mira Lax is a powder, tasteless that dissolves quickly in any liquid. I have had nightmare pain med post op bm's that brought me to tears, nausea, sweating. This was one of my biggest fears about post op. I stayed in an aftercare for 2days drinking tons of water, tea, and liquid. Nothing, I really didn't expect anything or really want anything. When I got home I immediately made a cup of the tea, later had a glass of water with Mira Lax and before bed one more tea. The next morning I had the smoothest movement ever. Throughout the day I had two more. Drank another cup of tea next night, same result. I am so happy. Sounds weird, right! LOL! Hope you have relief soon.
I guess I should read some on the lipo board. I'm concerned that I'm doing so well and other issues are going to start popping up! I feel really good today, except for the whole bruised body I got hit by a train look. So, I'm going to start swelling? I've been taking Arnica and Bromelain for a week. I see my PS tomorrow. Hate to think about the car trip. Not far but my butt hurts!! Oh, I made breakfast this morning. Oatmeal. Can you believe that? LOL!
I was dreading the first bowel movement as I am hyper sensitive to the constipation and have as the worst experience imaginable. I got home yesterday afternoon and made myself a cup of Smoorh Move Tea,ended up having another later and mixing MiraLax into my water. 5am this morning, ta-dah!!!!! Perfection. I started having a little gas yesterday but not much.
