Oops posted backwards so 1st photo 3 days ago 2nd photo today :)
I've been using the Arnica as well. Most of the bruising is gone now! But the inching has begun. I really really want to scratch, especially after I take off the binder/compression garment. How are you feeling?
Typo- Itching
I'm feeling pretty good today and yesterday.... I can't wait to get these drains out ! Ugh they are what's bugging me the most right now
Yes those drains are the worst! I'm happy I didn't need any this go around. I think it was 2 weeks til I got them out the first time. I hated it!!
My two week mark will be Tuesday so I am hopeful that i get htem out :) super lucky no drains this time yay for you :) I washed my cg again today and I sure do hate not having that thing on holy cow it is so comforting lol I wonder if anyone has ever got one of those training girdles for after and if they work? I may just ask the community.
You should ask! I never used one- the waist trainer, is that what you mean? Lots of people rave about it!
ya that's what its called lol ...
Glad the arnica and bromelain I recommended helped, the difference is amazing isn't it?

Haven't heard from you in a while so just thought I'd check in with you. How you doing? Hope all is going well hun x

Crying

So today I have been crying over everything and anything is this normal ? I am really liking what I'm seeing in the mirror though !! Yay !!

Awww it's normal hun! The post op blues. After the anesthesia and body changes, you gotta let your feelings out. Tomorrow is a new day
Yes, your body went through a traumatic experience and endorphins and hormones surged. Now they're ebbing and you're a little sad. Totally normal occurrence. Glad that you are liking what you see!
Thanks for encouraging words so I don't feel crazy lol

Stomach ache's

So anyone experiencing stomach aches since surgery ? This is the 3rd time since surgery that I have a stomach ache just wondering if it's normal? thanks in advance

I didn't have tummy aches as in nausea but I had gas pretty badly. I also would eat just a little and be full. Usually throughout the day I was fine but I started taking GasX before dinner and did better. Now I'm fine.
