So I made it through. Haven't had it all that bad. Managing the pain with 800mg of ibuprofen and diazepam at night. Had a little scare with one of the boobs but turned out that the tape holding my gauze in place caused my skin to blister. Thank god cause it looked like my skin was tearing and I was near tears thinking what did I do to myself!!! But all is well Dr. said no more tape! Boobs are still pretty swollen and tummy looks great so far :)

Day of treatment
Surgery Day :)
Everything went great. I was a giant ball of nerves and only got an hr of sleep last night. That's ok cause I'll be making up for that plus some this week ;) so I was told that 7lbs of fat was removed from my many spots of lipo. I don't know what size implants he used but he told Hubby they were filled to 300cc's. Ok so maybe I'm just really numb right now with all the meds I'm on but the only thing bugging me is my boobs so much pressure.

Thanks! I was so scared the night and morning of but it goes so fast I remember them rolling me into the OR talking about puppies and the next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery. You will do great! I will post pics when I can.

No SLEEP!
I should be sleeping but NO. My mind will not shut down so I have been keeping busy. I cleaned both bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen cabinets - along with cleaning all the stainless steel & swept the floors. What can I say I'm a clean freak & i had to do something to keep my mind off of things. My oldest daughter is taking it really hard which doesn't help me at all - She cried when I tucked her into bed & wanted to know why I was doing this and told me that I could die. Oh my goodness I already felt scared & guilty but boy she sure did lay the guilt on me thick! Well I have to be "up" in a little over 2 hours so guess I better try to get some sleep!
