Things you should NOT do after surgery:
Clean your house.
Lift your kids or pets.
Drive – the first week for sure
Laundry
Weigh or measure yourself
Try on your clothes that you think will fit
Grocery shopping – pushing the cart and lifting the bags is harder than you think
Gardening
Other than walking – no exercise
Eat processed and packaged foods. The sodium will make you swell up like the Blueberry girl in Willy Wonka. Watch your sodium intake at all times.
Drink soda. You do not want to put anything in your body that will cause gas and bloating.
Listen to negative people. There is always someone out there just trying to smack you down with their negativity. You did not do this procedure in vein, you are not selfish, you do deserve it, and you are not crazy to put yourself first for once. There is nothing better than feeling good about yourself. People who are jealous and closed minded will try to tear you apart in a second. I actually looked at one woman when she made a nasty comment to me and said the following to her……Did I ask for your opinion…NO, do I care what you think…NO, do I need your permission…NO, are you paying for this…NO. She was speechless and her jaw dropped. Yep, she was flapping her nasty comments at me and expected me to just take it….NOT.
Things you should do after surgery:
Take your pain meds as prescribed. Stay on top of the dose and take on time. For the first three days make sure you take them around the clock to stay ahead of the pain. Don’t wait until you are past the point of no return and rolling around in the bed in agony. Don’t be a hero!
Drink plenty of fluids and eat a healthy balanced diet.
Let people take care of you.
Massage your tummy gently. It helps circulation and feels good.
Stay positive because this all will pass.
Get outside and enjoy some sunshine. It will really help lift your spirits.
Log onto RealSelf.com to chat with your friends. All of us on here know how you are feeling so will help cheer you up if you need it.
Keep your eye on the prize and know there is an end to the healing process.
Be proud of yourself for taking this step to improve your life and body.
Be patient with the healing process. It is a long haul I know but you can do it. You will have good days and bad but it will all be worth it in the end. If you do get sad and depressed know that it is all part of the healing process. You are not crazy.
Trust your instincts with your body. If something doesn’t feel right call your doctor right away. It never hurts to get it checked out. That is why they are there! I am sure they have heard and seen it all. I am pretty sure my doctor thinks I am a total nut! But a harmless one at that…

Two thumbs up! I love your post about what to do and what NOT to do.
Many times we tend to try and be super moms just because we think we are feeling ok. That's not always the case. Be super careful and take it easy or you can put yourself two steps back if not worse!!
Good luck to you on your journey!

Quote received! & I'm getting a TT, full lipo back,arms,waist, flanks, bbl and possible b.a $6,500.. including the insurance, my date is not yet confirmed, I still have some plan making to do but thinking Feb 2016 will workout for me. Its hard to explain the excitement, even though I have a long way to gooo! Thank God for this website at least we can all vent and talk [RS bleep] lol without all the judgment its all about our surgery's especially when you won't be sharing it all with half of the people you know in your life. So good looking R.S lol.
Also now checking on my bmi which is OK for surgery since I lost 10 pounds, I am at 161, 5'4 so I need to keep my weight or lose some during the rest of this year.

My surgery is sch for 8/13 with Almonte as well.
They only advice I can give you at this point is:
1. Read, read and then READ some more reviews.
Both good/BAD and currant as well as the past! I read reviews going back to 2012! I can't tell you how many reviews I read that said "No one told me" or "They didn't know!" You will learn so much from other peoples experiences. Take notes... ask questions not only on your review but other peoples reviews.
2. Take before pictures (even if you don't plan on posting them)
If you plan to work out (?) it will be nice to see your progress as motivation to keep yourself going.
3. Eat good healthy things that will help with your blood levels.
4. I hope you have someone that you can talk to for support.
It's very hard if your not wanting to tell anyone what you are doing because you are afraid they will not supporting your decision to go out of the country for surgery. There are many RS sisters here going through that.
Just remember you have US! :)
