I've been really focusing on massage to break that fluid up. I just had my first post op professional massage, and man... Ouch, but ahhhh. The therapist does 25 minutes training and 25 minutes massage. I was surprised how weak I was, but I can tell it's going to help me get back into my workout routine. And I feel like I can move so much better. Here are some pics- still a lot of swelling, but sooo much better. Im slightly yellow and bruised as well.

Wow, the difference a day makes! I am 8 lbs lighter than yesterday. Thank god. The swelling has gone down. I was sooo uncomfortable. I am on a diaretic now, which is obviously contributing to the change. I have to say though, the massage was the big shift. I bought a deep tissue massager at the drug store and it broke up all that hard swelling so much easier than I could have done myself. I still need to get a lymphatic drainage massage next week, but just breaking up that fluid has been amazing. Here's the massager I got...

hi! saw the dr today to talk about the swelling. apparently, I freak my self out and the swelling is not as crazy as I think it is. he assured me all is well and that it's time to get back into exercise. any type of exercise. he kept repeating that I can not mess up my results at this point. all I can do is improve and exercise and massage is the key. sooo, i'll stop whining and work out and massage myself! it does hurt like crazy though. but, he says that it always hurts less than it did the previous time, so that's good. I do have a lymphatic massage next week that I'm looking forward to as well. I'll post some pics soon-

He was lovely when I met him today. Very calm and confident. He has been doing it for 30 years and he still seems excited when talking about the changes I'll see. I felt no salesy vibe, and I like the way he approaches it. He uses local anesthetic which I was unsure of until he explained the reason- he wants the patent to stand up during the surgery so he can evaluate how it's looking. I liked that a lot. He does tumescent(?) lip with micro candelas, again, I'm not a doctor, but the way he explains everything made me feel like I understand the whys of the procedure. Thank god for this site. I've been researching everything and everyone's experiences and I feel prepared and calm.
