Had my post op app today and looks like everything is healing well :)
I am starting to feel less lethargic especially after my shower and getting over the constipation hump.
I went home to my apartment today after being taken care of by my best friend since the day of surgery. Now I just have to drill it into my head to not overdo it!

I was told not to keep wearing a tubi grip wrap as it caused my healing to take longer and squashed my breasts making my nipple come apart a bit.

My plastic surgeon is having me stay in the ace wraps until at least a week out, as uncomfortable as they mat be, I'm following his rules to a T.

I've been pretty much gloating to everyone about how I feel better than I ever thought I would after surgery. So I thought today would be appropriate to start cutting back on pain meds (because of the GI effects and constipation sucks).
BAD IDEA.
In between my "let's taper off the meds" attitude and my desire to be productive (I'm knitting a cable-intense neck warmer), I managed to push my limits too far. I ended up in tears by the end of the night. I was allowed a shower today but after pushing myself I'm deciding to wait until my post-op appt, which is tomorrow.
Other highlights of the day was I had my first bowel movement post surgery. Despite prepping with stool softeners and lots of fiber in my diet, nothing could have prepared me for how terrible the constipation is. I had my sister run out and grab me coffee and Mag Citrate, just in case nothing happened.
Thus far, today is probably the most painful day I've had (I'm going to put most of the blame on myself).
