Let me be completely transparent here, I have had unwanted "fatty" areas that had bothered me all of my life! No matter how much exercise and diet those areas always made me very self conscious! I am not expecting immediate results but I am expecting a lifestyle modification post this procedure! And just to feel sexy wearing tank tops and a bikini.

So I had my surgery done today. I feel great now that it's 11:30 pm and my surgery was performed at 1:30 pm. I am quite sore and I did feel very nauseous right after. I took my pain medication immediately after I was woken up. But as soon as I was home I went right back to bed and I had a lot of discomfort but nothing that wasn't tolerable. I felt better at ease as soon as the doctor called me. I let him know that I felt like a car had run me over. He assured me that the first few days I would feel this way but that it will get better soon! He mentioned that he was able to remove 5 liters of fat!

Ok so day 1 post op wasn't too painful but I was def very sore. I went to the doctors office to get my first lymphatic massage! (The most painful massage of my life) omg I felt I was gonna die from the pain and I actually fainted twice! My entire lower body was black and blue in bruises. The doctor did come by to see me and he advices that the swelling and bruising would be normal for my condition. Yesterday was day 2 post op and I have to say it was the worst I was draining so much and was feeling very nauseous ????. At home I actually fainted twice again and one of the times I fainted I actually hit the back of my head pretty hard even with assistance. Today it's Saturday morning and last night I felt a little bit of a panic attack the garments and everything feeling so tight and not being able to move I almost felt like I was being tied down to my bed with a massive head ache. I took a Motrin 800 and put a cold wash cloth on the back of my neck and eyelids and it relived my discomfort!

Sure I was just about to post an update! Once I drank Gatorade and ate a hardy meal I started to feel better!
