I DID IT!!! Day 2 and I'm actually feeling better than I expected!

Hey Ladies! I made it thank God! I showed up at the surgical center at about 8 and was on the table by 8:30. Dr. Morea's head nurse and nurse anesthetist were awesome! The most nervous part for me was being put under because I had never been thru surgery before but they made me feel completely comfortable and had taken a lot of the fear from me. The last thing I remembered was havin a conversation with the nurses about my kids and the next thing I knew, about 3 to 4 hours later I was waking up in the recovery room. The doctor was able to get 2000 cc's of fat from me but I can't remember how much of that was injected into my butt. The most painful part of my day 1 was that first move from the recovery bed to be dressed and put into the wheelchair. That was the worst because my entire body felt heavy as bricks. As soon as I got to bed I ate a few crackers and drank 7up and slept for about 2 hours. Then I woke up and took my first dose of pain meds. I drank a lot of water, 7up, and Gatorade. And later in the evening had a yogurt smoothie and half a can of soup to take the first dose of antibiotics. I was taking in a lot of fluids but couldn't use the bathroom until about 11 that night then after that I was up about every hour to go so my sleep was constantly interrupted. It took me awhile to get used to the funnel because my mind just couldn't let me pee standing up... But now I'm pretty much a pro at it!
Today is day 2 and I'm doing pretty good.. I'm taking my pain meds every 3 to 4 hours and still only sleeping about an hour or 2 at a time. I had a little bit of eggs and potatoes for breakfast and had a little soup for lunch and have added pineapple juice to my fluid intake but it gives me crazy heartburn so I don't kno how much more I can take of that. I'm starting to regain my appetite so I'm going to try to have something a bit more filling for dinner... And NOW I kno u all want to kno what it looks like?!?!?.. I have a lot of foam padding everywhere under my garments and I haven't taken my first shower yet so it's kinda hard to tell but it looks and feel like its exactly what I needed for a natural look. I didn't want to be huge I just wanted to add that backside curve with a little poke to these hips, thighs, and boobs that I have.. LMBO .. I just hope and pray it turns out to be what I had in mind... But as of now NO MORE Fredericks of Hollywood padded boy short underwear for me!!! Yaaaayyyy!.. I'll post picks as soon as possible when I remove all of this padding! And thanks to the ladies who prayed for my safe and successful surgery!

I never imagined this day would come and it's basically already here in less than an hour! I have never had any kind of surgery so the thought of being put under has my stomach in knots! I'm extremely tired, my eyes are burning but my racing mind just won't allow me to rest.. Please pray for my safe and successful surgery!

ONLY 2 wks away and I am anxious, nervous, scared, excited... All at once! I had my medical history interview with the anesthesiologist and I should receive my packet of information and prescriptions in the mail in a couple days! Yaaaaay! I'm still trying to gain weight these last couple of weeks and its getting harder and harder. I'm at 159 lbs now. The problem is, a lot of my weight goes to my hips and thighs and very little goes to the areas I'm having lipo'd. Other than trying to gain weight, these last couple was will be grocery and supplies shopping for things I'll need post op. I won't be wearing a full compression garment. The Dr will give me a compression garment for my mid section (lipo'd area) and he want me to purchase a light compression, like running/biking short to wear on my bottom. All the stories and after pics I've seen on here shoes everybody in a full compression garment so I was a little worried about not having one, but I've gotten over that and will just trust the Dr. I'm really excited about my potentially BANGIN body and will keep u all updated! I'll also post more before pics soon...
