7 days post op!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week already. A week full pain and tears. It's been tough. Yesterday I ordered some Spanx to replace this awful compression garment for the Vaser. It was so painful and was resting on my incisions under the boobs. I was left a funny shape due to the compression. The Spanx was hard to put on over my dressings but got there in the end and omg what a relief!!!! It's so much better. I and ordered some 30DD non wired bras and another OMG moment!! It's like the pain I had has been cut in half! The sports bra made them so painful, not sure if it's because they weren't the right size but all I know is I'm in relief heaven right now!
Due to the vaser I can't find anything that fits nice. I'm swollen and I look 6 months pregnant. I have been in my pyjamas all week so this is the first time in proper day clothing. I have my 7 day post op appointment today. Hopefully they'll be fine with my swap of compression garments :)

Wow, last night was the worst night sleep. My right boob was painful near the incision. It was burning. I took painkillers but was still up and couldn't sleep. Pain still here today and struggling to lift my right arm up. Just want to get better I'm so inpatient!!!

The vaser swelling is going down.nim loosing a pound of fluid a day (been weighing myself daily) I'm not as bloated. The compression garment is rubbing near my breast incisions. I find drinking loads of water is helping :)

In recovery hell right now!

3 days post op. Sickness and nausea is getting me down. Pains in my chest too. Was on the phone to the nurse when I had to end to all to be sick. Every smell and thought of types of food is making me sick. Nurse thinks it could be the painkillers and has advised me to stop taking them. Breasts are still rock hard and uncomfortable and out of shape. Vaser swelling is reducing luckily. I'm continuing to ice the areas.

From my first appointment with the surgeon I was unsure what sizes to choose. As I am petite (5ft 1" and 112lbs) I was worried about being too big up top. I tried 3 sizers on with the sports bra and when I tried the 400cc I was like "wow". He said they would suit my frame and agreed that they would be best because I might regret no going bigger. In regards to my vaser he suggested the 2 areas on my abdomen, lower and upper to smooth it out and I requested a fatty area on the pubis area which I have hated since a young age. He assured me that he can do a good job there. The staff have been great too, I have had numerous questions and they have made me feel at ease. As i'm have 2 different procedures I have been worried about recovery as I am a busy full time working mom of 5! I didnt feel pressurized into any of the procedures and glad that a tummy tuck wasn't suggested by the surgeon as they are around £7000!! plus healing time is a lot longer.
