Doing Too Much Too Soon

I hope I'm not doing to much too soon. I got my drains taken out today. The appt was less than 20 min. I got there they took the drains out and said let take some pics and that is. She told me I looked great and moved on to the next...... i would have thought dr j would have showed up or atleast the nurse. When i had my massages last week the lady told me not to take off the white tape. I was never told when i could take it off or what's the purpose of it. I'm not taking any more of my meds. I am taking the make me heal vitamins. Not sure if they're necessary... I've been moving on my own pretty good. Up and down the stairs no problem i can't quit bend to the floor yet so my hubby has to help me with my socks. I just hope I'm not doing to much too soon. I just really tired of laying here on my stomach so i get up and move around a lot.

Hey doll you should update your surgery date on your profile. It appears that you are "3 years post surgery" ! Continue to take the vitamins it is helping you throughout the healing process. Movement helps so that will not hinder your progress. You have a long road ahead of you so be patient. Be sure to keep your garment extra tight, especially in the waist area. You should purchase a 2nd garment now if you havent already so that you will have it when your first one gets "loose" (when you are able to fasten youor garment with ease it is not tight enough. After that you should alter the 1st garment and then continue the process between the 2. Lymphatic massages are also key, so be sure to do at least 6-7+ of those or until the masseuse says otherwise !

Hey AtlantaPYT i missed the fedex guy today with my second garment. couldn't get to the door fast enough lol so i'll have my hubby pick it up of me. And i'm going to have to reach out to RS to change the date because that option is not under my profile. I was trying to find it even before my surgery. I'm going to send them an email now. thanks!

Day 6 Post

TumTucked
Hats off to the ladies who post on rs the day of or the day after surgery! I just couldn't do it! :-) Its day 6 for me. Feeling a lot better. Day 1 and 2 I was really sore. When it comes to sleeping I felt like a new born baby. I slept two hours then i was up for two hours. I had the nurse come out and give me a massage on day 2 and asked her to come back on day 3, but she cancelled on my at the last minute. So my husband did the best he could and has been giving them to me daily. I tell you no lie, they hurt!!!! The stiffness and soreness is slowing going away. My new butt is hard, but I was expecting that. Did anyone else see the flat look like I do? When i expect it to go away? He injected 200 cc in my hips but when to me one of my hips look a little smaller than the other. I will ask about that when i go get the tubes taken out.

I have to be at Dr J's office at 6:30am! I have everything in order thanks to my RS sisters and their post. I hoping to feel better by the weekend and have after pics posted. I currently weigh 183. Before I went to visit Dr J I had already gained 10 pounds and during my consultation he asked me to gain another 10. This has been the a long jounery and I'm ready to get this fat moved to all the right places! I had a tummy tuck a few years ago but not my Dr J. The Dr who did my tummy tuck told me not to mess up their work....sorry. I know Dr J will get me back right!
