One Day at a Time
So I'm 4 days post op and healing I think fairly well. I couldn't use my garment so I'm wearing workout tights with an ace bandage around each thigh to compress my inner thigh lipo. I am also wearing the binder I received at the hospital. I hate it. I am ordering a squeem today. I know I'm supposed to wait two weeks post to use it but the binder is almost the same. I'm actually glad I don't have on a garment. I've been able to use the restroom alone and take showers and I believe it's because I don't have on a garment. I'm sure they work for most but this is actually working well for me.
I've been taking arnica pills, bromelain tablets, extra strength Tylenol, and a multivitamin daily. I was taking antibiotics but they were making me super constipated. I am also taking colace twice a day. I had my first bm yesterday and it was GREAT!!! You def have to shower afterwards no matter what.
I have a lot of swelling and bruising from the Lipo. My lower back is very swollen and tender vi can't really feel anything. I had a lot of fat suctioned there and so it's the most sensitive spot. The swelling is going down everyday and I am able to see more if the shape. My butt isnt big at all. I only got 720cc per cheek which is what I wanted. The inner thigh Lipo sucks! He did a fantastic job but it is so sensitive. If I take the ace wraps off for 10 min they swell up immediately. I know I need to post pics so I will at my one week post op appt. if you have any questions please ask :)

2 weeks and counting!!!
Very very nervous. I am going to buy a bottle of arnica pills and a cheap spanx to wear for the first week. Since they are going to cut it up, I do not want to bring the more expensive one I bought. I asked about wearing foam under the garment but the nurse didn't really recommend it. I think I will still buy some for my thigh Lipo. It might not help but I want to reduce the swelling as much as possible. It's soooo hard to not drink! I don't even drink that often but not being allowed a glass of wine is torture! When I take my pre-op pictures I will add them to the site. I decided not to go crazy and buy a bunch of supplies. I am just going to buy the arnica tablets and cream, cheap garment to wear after surgery, a couple of gowns and sweat pants, large panties, Tylenol, antibacterial soap, compression socks, and noodles to make a seat. Anything else that comes up will be bought by the hubby. Well ladies any advice is wanted and necessary. Thanks for your help :)
