Getting the Tummy Tuck for my 60th Birthday on February 6th - Orange County CA

Hi, wonderful Ladies. I've been reading your journals and learned so much from it. So I've decided to start documenting my journey and hopefuly it will be helpful to others as well to me.
In the last several years my weight fluctuated between 128 lb to 154 lb, my stomach protruding due to loss of muscle elasticity. I'm 5'4 and my current weight is 145 lb. In two weeks I'll have full tummy tuck with liposuction of the lovehandles, hips, flanks and the upper inner thighs. I'd been thinking about to have a TT awhile and suddenly I'd decided to go for it. My hubby is wonderful, supporting me 100%. I had my pre-op consultation and lab tests last Tuesday. Find it out I have bladder infection. My doctor put me on antibiotics. Based on your posts I'm putting together my shopping list and start my “nesting”. I'll post "before" pictures soon.

My list of questions to my doctor included the list of my current medications, post op treatment, care of surgical sites etc. He told me to stop taking mutlivitamins, ibuprofen, vitamin E, antibiotic, etc.... Prescribed pain killer, medication for nausea, sleeping pill and anxiety medication. Suggested to by colace stool softener and start taking it every night after the surgery. Take the anxiety med the night before and the morning (with little water) of my surgery. One day before my surgery I need to go on liquid diet and middle of the day I need to drink magnesium citrate. Do not eat and drink after midnight. Told me that its imperitive after the surgery to get up in every hours and walk at least 5minutes. Eat lots of protein (protein powder), fruits with vitamin C. They will provide the post op garment. When I was asking about what supply he is recommend to by for care for my surgical site he said that they will provide me with everything. I only need to by 4x4 gauze. He gave me the long list to do/not to do and eat/not to eat before/after surgery. They did blood work, urine test and EKG. Find it out I have bladder infection. Great... So they strarted my on antibiotics. I hope this list was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions and if you need more detail.
I also started my journey in the review section under Getting the Tummy Tuck for my 60th Birthday on February 6th - Orange County CA.

I went shopping yesterday with my hubby to buy supplies for my post op days. Today I was organizing my bathroom drawers, got rid of many things. Tomorrow I'll by a walker. I'm not sure if I'll need it, but many of you suggesting to use it. I'm a little worry about the lipo on my inner thighs because I was told that I can't remove the compression garment for 3 days. I know it's silly but I'm worry about how will I use the bathroom. They said the garment will have an opening... Well I will have to shoot straight I guess. Just in case I ordered P-ez from Amazon. Any tought, suggestion about it?
