Post op/Day 2
I had my post op this morning. They removed the bandages and put a bra on me. I still can’t believe I finally got this done!
Pain is still relatively high, taking meds like clock work. I can’t lay for too long without getting up to move around & vice versa. I have some gnarly bruises from the lipo. I’m supposed to wear the compression garment 24/7 unless showering. I went ahead and ordered a second one so I can have a clean one while the other washes.
The dr was confident in my recovery thus far, everything felt “like it should.” The staff was so nice and helpful. I go back in 1 week to see how things look.
Pictures from today attached.

I did it!
Holy moly— I did it. My surgery started at 7:30am yesterday. I was finished and in recovery around 11:45am.
I had breast aug with 560CC on the left & 520CC on the right— we had planned for 560 but also ordered 520 as my right side was slightly larger. I came home in bandages & my extra tight compression garment. I feel like I got hit by a truck. Pain meds & muscle relaxers are my saving grace. My bed is pretty tall so my husband has had to help me in and out of it. Surprisingly walking around feels better than laying— I sleep for a few hours and then get up and walk around. I have about a million pillows in my bed so I’m comfortable on my back. I’m a side sleeper so this is also a struggle.
The BA makes my shoulders roll forward so I’m trying to be aware of that and roll them back. The lipo is the most painful part. It burns and aches everywhere I had incisions. This compression garment is no joke either. It’s so tight that it’s leaving marks in my skin. It’s also odd to have an opening for my vagina to use the restroom. Not sure how I’m going to handle a BM, guess I’ll ask that question tomorrow at my post op.
Best advice—- stay on top of pain meds/muscle relaxers the first day for sure & likely the second.
Here are a few pictures pre-op & after—- the afternoon is the greatest, I’ll try to get better tomorrow.

One week away...
I paid off my surgery today. I have one week to go. I’m a little nervous and excited and kind of scared but mostly excited.
Picked up all my meds, ordered a couple of extra bras for post op & an extra undergarment. As excited as I am, I’m not excited about the chest to knee body suit I’ll have to wear for several weeks in this Texas heat. Looks like I’ll have to grab a few extra sun dresses until I can wear shorts again!
I’ll post again after surgery.
