One Month Pics (belated)

Hey all! Sorry for not updating, life has been nuts! Here are some pics from one month ps. Will post more recent ones soon. At one month I still had a lot of swelling and some signs of dog earring. Much better now. :)

One week appointment, a few days late!

Hi, everyone! So I'm now about a week and a half post op, and feeling pretty good. I had my one week appointment on Wednesday, and it went really well. My doctor was surprised when I said I was already stir-crazy. I guess it takes most people a couple of weeks, but I'm a country girl and it's hard to stay put during such a busy time of year, haha. Everything looks good, according to her! The dark patch on my right areola is nothing to worry about, whoo hoo!

I still don't have any feeling in either areola/nipple, but they can both harden, so my doctor isn't worried. I didn't have much feeling in them before, and got anxious when they were stimulated, so I don't really care either way as long as they're alive and healthy.

I got ok'd to switch from tylenol to ibuprofen, which was a GAME CHANGER. At least half of the painful swelling on my ribcage from lipo went away overnight. Thankfully, I'm actually able to get through the day with barely any pain. I almost feel back to normal, and it's difficult to remember that I have to hold back.

I still have a lot of bruising, but everything is getting easier, from showering to getting things done around the house. Let me know if you have any questions!

Lots of bruising, first shower, and first bowel movement!

Warning: this update contains poop talk.

So, today was a big day! Although I'd taken milk of magnesia twice and been drinking loads of water, I had not yet had a bowel movement. Today after drinking 3 cups of coffee and taking a walk didn't work, I took a suppository. Not my proudest moment, but twenty minutes later the flood gates opened. It was quite a shock to my gastric system, and I had an upset stomach for most of the afternoon.

I also showered today, which went pretty well. It was very disconcerting having my breasts out for that long, especially because they're still rather numb. I noticed that a TON of bruising has shown up overnight, but that's normal so I'm not too worried. There's also a small dark spot on one of my nipples, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. If it gets much worse I'll ask my doctor, but I showed my mother (a nurse) pictures and she wasn't concerned, so neither am I.

More updates to come!
