Healing Nicely!
$8,299
All bruising is GONE! My skin burns and feels tight from the inside if that makes sense, especially around my waist. It definitely feels better to wear my faja! I still feel some swelling in my back and waist but most has gone down. The left side of my body healed completely different than my right. I had a lot of fibrosis in my left inner thigh and in my waist but the massages have taken care of it ... And that is why they are extremely important! Taking care of my body and PRAYING I don't lose any size from here on out... Fingers crossed!!!!!

Day 7, 1 week Post Op
Hey dolls! Had my second massage today and surprisingly it felt gooooooood! They used the ultrasound too.... Alittle pain on the bruised area which is expected but it really felt nice. They also took both drains out today!!!! The one in my back was extremely inflamed and irritated, it was honestly the worst part of my recovery. I was terrified to have it taken out but it really wasn't bad at all, and the one in the front I didn't even feel :-) I feel so relieved and stress free. This will be my final daily update since the first week has come to an end. I am going to post photos later tonight and then I will only be posting monthly updates. To conclude the week.....
The beginning is hard, a lot to deal with all at once. Make sure you eat, drink and walk as much as you can. Day 2 post op was the worst, and it later on became the best. As for the rest of the week, soreness & stiffness decrease each day. EAT PINEAPPLE 3 TIMES A DAY! I don't know why the doctors don't emphasize on this but it is critical. Pineapples have a high concentration of bromelaine, an enzyme that literally eats bruises and swelling. Ever wonder why your mouth starts to hurt after you eat a lot of pineapple? Drink pineapple water as well... You can make it by boiling the pineapple skins and core.
If your doctor is using tumescent lipo suction, you will be swollen... Including your hands and face. It is due to the fluid they inject you with before they lipo.
If you are also having your arms lipoed, bring long sleeve, loose fitting LONG sundresses.... You have to hide all that foam and bruising... You will also have drains hanging between your legs. I order all of my dresses (for life and surgery) at gitionline.com ...... Your welcome ;-)
I found this stupid memory foam lounge chair pillow (for the head part of the chair) that ended up being extremely useful... It's not too bulky and awkward to carry around. I got it at bed bath and beyond.
Definitely bring a long black robe.
I think I got everything... :-)

Hi! Best of luck to you on Tuesday!! If you have a good foundation I'm sure your result won't be less than amazing :-) Make sure you let him know EXACTLY what you want out of the surgery. I showed him lots of pics so he got the idea. I also made sure to explain exactly what I didn't want. He really delivered and I had such a wonderful experience with the whole staff, your in good hands! Just make sure you do all you can to heal properly... Excited for you! Xo

Day 6 Post Op
My second massage is tomorrow.... Woke up today feeling good. Less swelling in my stomach area... I can even see my abs! Aside from the pineapples, I've been eating extremely healthy. Spinach salads with chickpeas, lentil soup, avocado toast..... Everything LOW SODIUM! I still take my iron and vitamin C everyday. Yesterday I deviated from the plan and did not wear my lipo foam under my garment... I was sick and tired of looking pregnant when I went out. I did wear it to bed and it made no difference.
