Well after reading others post their experiences felt only 'fair/right' to do the same as really feel these posts help us all
This whole (pending) procedure is daunting scary and quite frankly the Unknown...
I've taken note of others advice and have cut out caffeine and now following low salicate diet.. Limiting to say the least!
Oh and no alcohol as of yesterday Jan 1st!...
I had my consultation wit hDominic and like there's felt he was very warm and felt comfortable
Had another follow up as did feel overwhelmed and all a fog from first consultation hence returned to reiterate my needs and to listen to his words and advice more lucidly
He was great...
I must add Lucy his Secetary is so lovely and friendly nothing too much trouble re silly questions
I will post before pictures later and continue my journey if you care to follow...

Day one
GermicidalJanuary 15, 2016
I'm so very relieved to say I'm the other side. It is done
I'm so very tired and so I won't write much but felt I owed to a few of you special girls ( you know who you are) who have supported me with messages and advice to let you know I'm well
I'd love to be like most reviews where by everyone was instantly excited and positive by their reflection.
I'm very alien like right now and although I know this is swelling and particularly my eyes ( had a skin pinch) was very frightened.
Need to just relax and let the healing process do its work
Cannot eat much not that I have any appetite so difficult as only can suck food
Will keep you posted
Too scared to upload photos sorry
If your really interested send me a private msg.

Oh bless you Germicidal, I'm sure you'll start to look and feel human again in a few days. Make sure you have plenty rest, and think about what you'll look like in a couple of weeks time. Happy healing [RS bleep]

Day 3
GermicidalJanuary 17, 2016
I just wanted to reiterate pretty much what everyone who has had this procedure says..
Every day is so much better than the last
Feel stronger today as before the thought of even posting this was an effort plus for some reason my mind was all over the place?!
Anyway I managed a fairly good nights sleep and only awoke a couple of times to ice
Had a scare last evening as face became so hot and inflamed that almost felt it was pulsating..
I've had no heating on and was continuously iceing
Decided to go for a walk ( as -1 outside!) it truly helped :)
Anyway went for a wonderful walk today so all good
My only tips to pass on are as follows..
You cannot open mouth hardly at all and eating is a struggle .. Not that I really have experienced any hunger as yet
Make soups and get eggs in as found scrambled egg to be best food choice
I've also suffered from raw insides of mouth where my back teeth have clamped on the insides of my cheek as jaw very tight
Have all your meds to hand on side table at night.. And for some reason my mind is not 100% and so I've had to write down each time I've taken meds as can get very confusing
Perhaps set alarms if your anything like me?
I've found this website a god send and it's wonderful ladies who have posted their experiences before me.. Particularly as I chose to do this alone I have felt support from all of you who have messaged me and just shared their journeys
I'd encourage more of you to do this as information is key as we are all in the 'unknown' hence very scary

Yikes! You are doing this all by yourself? I had my uppers done, too, and couldn't wear my glasses for a few days and there was no way I could read the prescription bottles. I had to have my husband dole out the medicine.
Glad to hear you are doing well.

I chose to tell no one as knew my family/friends wouldn't approve and I'm single
It's been a little lonely but get this have been out and about complete with sexy face bra since day 2!
Mind you I did chose out of the way coffee shops!

Thank you for your posts. I can't believe you've been out and about since day 2! You are making me feel much less anxious (I think). How is your swelling/bruising/pain doing?

Hi, just planning everything for my op in July, first night will have friend with me saying at he hotel, but then planning on hiding away much of the following days at home by myself. Will do lots of food prep beforehand, but do you think I can manage by myself for those following days? Thanks
