Post Op Day 2!
Today was shower day! I waited until 48 hours passed, and carefully removed my shapewear, lipo foam, and extra maxi pads I’d put in place on my lower abdomen. I hand washed my shapewear because it had spots that were saturated and the smell ugh…i then had my hubby wring it out real good and toss it in the dryer while I showered.
I tried to get the water moderately hot, as I’d read that heat helps circulation, healing, etc. there was a few mins in the shower where I had intense pain to my left flank, but I breathed through it. Had hubby help me towel off and then I put fresh lipo foam on, and 3 full pieces instead of 2, so I feel extra tight and supported now. You can kind of see in the pic how I’ve got my foam…Dr. Masters said front and sides. Tiny bit of leakage still on the back, and mild leakage to front 3 lower abd holes. Pain is better than yesterday but still worse with movement. Hope this is helping someone, as I have no idea what I’m doing except following surgeons instructions and trusting the process!

1 day Post-Op Safe Lipo
Hi friends!
I had surgery yesterday at about noon! It’s late afternoon now on post-op day 1. My anesthesia has fully worn off, and I am staying on top of taking medications on time. I am alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen and taking a Norco as needed. The pain is definitely not something I’ve ever felt before! It’s like a burning/stinging all around my midsection, and much worse with movement. But overall manageable!
I’m wearing abd pads because my leakage is still moderate, with lipo foam and then my shapewear. I will begin using the lipo roller on day 3. I’ve also checked out some YouTube videos on self lymphatic massage. Basically the idea is to keep the entire area smooth and malleable. Anyone else have any insight on self massage?
I’ll post pics soon, so far I’ve only removed everything to quickly change out dressings, so maybe tomorrow after my hot shower!

Pre-Op Appt ??
Hi friends!
I saw Dr. Masters today for my pre op appointment. I am to buy a muscle roller and lipo foam. I’m wondering what foam is better…the large squares or the pre cut fitted ones for front and back? Amazon has a lot to choose from. Also wondering about lymphatic massage afterwards…I’ve got a local lady who is wonderful for that and would love to hear anyone’s experience.
I’m also going to start some additional vitamins on top of my daily multivitamin…vitamin A and C, as well as incorporating some silicon scar gel. I tend to heal slowly and scars are pretty visible, so I want to get ahead of it for sure.
He said some bruising and discoloration could even stick around for 6 months max, especially on the sides of the waist, since he gets so aggressive in trying to slim the waist. (Which I told him that’s exactly what I want!)
Overall, I’m so excited. 12/22 can’t come soon enough!
