Post op
Well I did it!! So let me fill you guys on my journey. I got up early got prep. The staff was so lovely to me seriously. They made sure I was ok. I was super nervous. My nurses was sweethearts.. I had my areas drawn on. Next thing you know I went to the OR. My ps was very very genoa routs talk to me and told I'm gonna be fine and beautiful. So I felt relax. I woke in recovery and my throat was sore... Omg.. But my pain was at a three. I got home and my brother was here till my boyfriend came. I took my antibiotics..and took an Aleve for the pain. The pain isn't that bad.. I feel asleep at 3pm and woke up feeling ok. However all I'm really doing is getting up and peeing like a fish and I'm drinking lots of fluids...my bathroom trips aren't too bad at all. And I'm helping myself.my garment isn't too uncomfortable. But I will have in a couple days. But I am swollen. I thank god for keeping safe. #lipoed
Day post op
Hey guys, I still don't have that pain.. I still haven't taken my Percocet yet..I figure I will take it as soon as I can't tolerate my pain. I've been walking around at. I have swelling still but i feel ok. But I've mostly been in bed with my legs elevated at all times and drinking lots of fluids. Mostly water. I'm still peeing like a fish. Lol I slept ok last night. I kept waking up every couple of hours.. My garment isn't uncomfortable yet... I can't wait till I can shower.. Which is tomorrow I wanna see what my body look like and see how much bruising I got. I will post pics when I take the garment off. But i feel like I will have an amazing body.
Day 3 post
So I was able to shower today.. And when I took off my garment I was still swollen, and slightly bruised but I see results already.. I'm happy so far. I have my follow appt this Thursday so I get my next garment. It felt good to have showered today.. I was staring in the mirror for like 10 mins.. Overall I know I have some wAys to go.. So let's see what I look like in 3 weeks..here are some pics.
Follow up
So I did my first follow up appt. and everything I coming along nicely. I got my stitches taken out. I also go my new garment cause the one I had was loose I guess I lost a few inches more. Yay! And I also did my first massage today. It was uncomfortable for me cause I'm still sore but the young lady was really gentle. I schdule couple session with her cause my body is tense and would really benefit from the massage. I figure next week I would start the treadmill slowly. As far as pic I'll post some when I'm exactly one month so I can see my progress this far. #still swollen
