Day 5 PO
Everything is getting better and easier by the day! Swelling has gone down, but I can still feel some on my sternum. The bruising seemed to get worse before it started getting better but it’s finally starting to fade. Just finished my antibiotics today, and came off my pain meds the other day and switched to Tylenol instead. My chest still feels super tight but wearing my surgical bras 24/7 like the Dr suggested. They said to put some gauze in the bottom for cushion and to absorb anything but so far no fluid or blood. Still have the steri strips on until my next follow up appt on Friday, when I have the loop stitches removed. Can’t wait to see without the tape again!
Day 2 Post-op pics
Day 2 PO
Well surgery went really well! Spoke to the dr after and he said he was extremely happy with the results. The first day back from the hospital was pretty much a blur, just very sleepy and sore. Day 1 PO was definitely the worst. I couldn’t keep anything down, throwing up from water and meds let alone plain crackers. The pain was pretty bad, mostly on my left side where he removed more tissue. He told me it would be so it wasn’t a surprise.
Day 2 PO went much better, I think a lot of the anaesthesia is out of my system. Threw up once in the morning, but felt overall much better. Starting to get a bit itchy all over, prob from the pain meds. Able to walk around without being as dizzy or weak and finally able to hold down some food. Had my post-op appt with the nurse today and saw them for the first time! I was nervous to look, but did and am SO happy with the results so far! Very swollen and there’s bruising but I can tell they will look awesome in a few weeks! Woo! I will post pics later tonight or in the morning.
