First day back at work

My first day back was harder than I expected. I feel like my recovery has been so smooth, even with the swelling I started to experience in the last couple of days. But work was a whole new level of difficult. Wearing my garment all day long just made me feel compressed and tight everywhere. I might have to break down and wear fleece pants and sneakers tomorrow to stay comfortable. I still see beautiful results but I realize that this is not an overnight solution. It is an investment of time and patience

Swell Hell
FatTireMarch 16, 2014
I didn't really understand the meaning of this term until today (PO10). My belly is just hard as a rock and so sore - not painful, just sore. Even swollen, it is still smaller than before surgery, but holy cow is it swollen and hard. I've doubled down on my bromelain supplements hoping that will help and drinking water, but the swelling masks me feel so full, I don't want to eat or drink. Maybe that is a good thing.

I gotcha...happened to me once or twice and is happening right now...just finished dinner, I didn't eat that much but had pistachios as a snack. I am laying down and unbuttoned my cg. I look like the fat guy who ate too many nachos watching a football game! Do you think the bromalaine helps?

I've been taking one turneric pill everyday n trying to drink a gallon of water and lemon with water. The swelling has done very little and my stomach feels sore as well. I just started wearing a white tank top before putting my belt because I scratched so much n now my skin hurts.

I think it did when I had my breast reduction - more with bruising than with swelling. I have to say that my bruising from lipo is not bad at all. I did a lot of housework yesterday and this may be the consequence. I am resting now and had to take my CG off for a little break before bed.

Day 9 PO. Drains out and feeling pretty good
FatTireMarch 14, 2014
I got my drains out on day 7 at my first follo up appointment. What a relief that is. My drains didn't hurt, but they are a pain in the butt. I am also starting to feel better mentally. I think it is tough to think when you are working all of those meds and anesthesia out of your system. Anyway, here is a PO photo taken this morning. I have a fair amount of swelling but still such a huge improvement. I am happy so far with everything and Dr Bonness is really terrific. I have loved dealing with her and everyone on her staff.
