Day 1: Friday 1/13/2017
In-office procedure. Awake the whole time. For the most part it wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. I do not tolerate pain well and a few times I flinched in pain. I felt like I was being a "pansy" for flinching. I do hope I didn't disrupt the doc and I do hope he got all the parts he wanted. I did ask and he did reassure me he did. I hope so.
Afterwards I was wrapped in my new belly band and got dressed. My friend gave me a ride home and I popped a pain pill on the way. Overall I'm feeling pretty good. That evening I took it easy. Ate a light dinner and was diligent in taking my pain meds. Most of the pain I felt was near the incisions.
Day 2: Saturday 1/14/2017
Most of the night slept on my back. Turned to each side in the middle of the night. I woke up pretty stiff, but a lot of the pain was gone. Felt mostly sore. Opted to not take pain meds since there was little to no pain. Walked around a lot more. Was able to make everyone lunch and fold laundry. Chilled out the rest of the evening.
Day 3: Sunday 1/15/2017017
Slept much better but still woke up stiff. Took off belly band and bandages. Got a good look and I can already see a new shape and could forsee past the swelling what I would look like in 6 months. I saw the younger flatter self! At this point is when I could definitely say this was all worth it! I did step on the scale and looked like the doc took out 8 lbs of fat out! That's nice!
After my shower, I rewrapped myself and went grocery shopping. Zipped all around the store and I was moving around much easier. The pain was gone and now I'm just sore in areas and it was getting better with each day.
Day 4: Monday 1/16/2017
Woke up and started my usual daily routine. Shower, make up, got dressed and got the kid up and ready for pre-school. No work today due to holiday. Did some shopping and ran errands. Felt pretty good except for the occasional itch near the incision. Things must be healing well. Noticed that the bruising is looking worse than before but no pain. Just tender in areas. I'll be ready for work tomorrow.
