I feel like I've been hit by a dump truck with hot garbage juice. The swelling on day 3 is all what they said it would be. Feet, hands, thighs, stomach everything is puffy lol I can't wait for it to go down! I had my post op appointment today and Dr. Moelleken told me he gave me a really nice contour and I love it! He did say at one point he was getting a lot of blood and my skin was getting kinda weird so he stopped. Scary! But I should really like my results.

I feel a bit lumpy so I'm going to go ahead and book my massages this week. And I can't feel my arms but they are super small!

Let me tell y'all!!!! mhmm mmm.

I know I haven't updated in a while. But I've just been so busy preparing and finishing up things for work so I could recover. Right now, I'm writing this from the recovery center in Santa Monica called Serenity and this place is amaze balls. Im being greatly taken care of by the nurses and aides. They are so nice and have great bedside manners. I'm totally in love with my nurses. This place is so amaze I've decided to stay another day since my post op appointment is tomorrow morning at 9am. So let me get straight to the facts...

DAY ONE WAS HORRIBLE!
I mean... it was awful. I don't know how you guys make it look so easy! When I got to my doctors, they made me change into my gown and I spoke briefly with the anesthesiologist who was super nice. He explained that going under was going to feel like a nap basically. And then he gave me the good stuff that made me really sleepy and I was out!

When I woke up, I could barely keep my eyes open. I was sore and hurting everywhere. I wasn't nauseous just extremely sleepy. I glanced over and they had 4 vials of fat they had taken out. Most of it looked like blood which got me a little worried. Ive never seen vials with so much blood in it!? lol Dr. Moelleken told me everything went very well and he would see me in a couple days. Then they put me in a wheelchair and one of the ladies from Serentity picked me up. When I got there I had to go to the bathroom and I damn near passed out on the toilet. Releasing all that fluid from the surgery got me really lightheaded and I felt like a heavy sack of potatoes. It took 3 nurses to help in the bathroom and they had to snap one of those ammonia sticks under my nose to get me to wake up. And to think I was just going to go home and take care of myself! F*#! that! I would've been dead passed out in my own damn bathroom! Afterwards, I was leaking everywhere and slept the entire day. But day one was extremely rough. I needed help in and out of bed and going to the bathroom. And that first feeling of standing up after laying down for so long is THE WORST! I know I wanted to do this privately and on my own but there is NO WAY anyone can do this by themselves! My doctor set this up so Im very thankful for that!

DAY 2
Day 2 was much better. I stopped leaking finally and the pain medicine was working it wonders. It still hurts to get up and down but its getting more and more tolerable as the day goes on. Ill be going home tomorrow. I can't wait to put on my other garment and squeem and get this waist all the way snatched!

I took lots of pictures!!!
