Update
Ok so I had a rough day today :\
I couldn't sleep last night and when o got out of bed my arms were killing me. They feel so hard and heavy. Unfortunately I Had crying episode. I felt so bad for putting my kids through this process too. It's hard for me to keep up at all times and give them my full attention 247. Thank god my friend had s talk with me and I got over it. My body is getting better as the day go by. Number one advise for you guys is to have people that will support you. Also can't stress it enough to use the arnica gel several times a day. The arnica has dramatic results for bruising and swelling. And definitely your lymphatic massages :))) please wear your garments and try to eat light sodium foods. The day before my surgery I made a pot of home soup, pot of lentils, and five days worth of light sodium arroz con pollo. I separated the meals in frozen zip lock bags and stored them. It's was the best all I had to do was heat it up(best idea)! Just try and be prepared just lipo is no joke. I really appreciate the people on realself for support and guidance through my journey. If you hAve any question I'm here. Till the next time :)))

Week and 2 days (9 days) post op
Ok I have so much to say! This week of lipo was hell.... I had so much pain ughhhh. I am still very swollen and have hard lump all over but the lymphatic massages have helped tremendously. I don't know how people live without them. I do see a little difference in my body size but I know I still have lots more results to come. I'm so swollen so that interferes with the final results of course. I did everything by the book. Two weeks prior I took my multivitamin, arnica pills,pee pads, bromelein and bought a wedge pillow. Post op surgery I continued with my pills added iron, vitamin c and d. I started making pineapple shake in the morning for detox to release all the bad drainage. To be continued (sorry my baby decided to take off her diaper lol)
Stats
I'm 5'1, 134 and I workout. I think is good info for you guys to know so you can compare body type and be realistic with your outcomes. I will try and measure myself later. Best wishes
