Day 2 - Lipo Pictures
$15,000
Finally worked up the nerve to take a shower...which felt WONDERFUL! I am IN LOVE with my lipo results so far. Sure there are some areas of unevenness but I'll take that to be rid of my saddlebags and inner thigh bulge. I think it can only get better from here on out, right?
Still having some pain so sticking to 2 hydrocodones and 1 muscle relaxer every 6 hours. Hope to switch to Tylenol tomorrow. I have had a headache all day. Is that from dehydration? Stress?
Question: when do the implants typically drop?

Things are getting a LITTLE better but I'm still pretty sore. It is shower day (yay!) so I'll take more pix later. Here is one pic of the bruising that is starting from the lipo. And one pic from the boobs. Is it supposed to be bloody all around my nipple or is this abnormal?

24 hours post op.
No turning back now! I did it! Surgery was yesterday and, I'm not gonna lie, It feels like I got hit by a Mack Truck! Yowza! My surgery started at 8:15 and lasted about 4 hours. It look them a long time to bring me out of the anesthesia so I didn't get home until 5pm. And then I couldn't/wouldn't get out of the car! My boobs hurt SO bad and the liposuction areas were burning. Finally managed to shuffle up the stairs to my recovery room (the tv room). It was all I could do to lay down before I threw up or passed out. I've been here every since.
Doctor said the surgery went well. He did the lift and then went with 304 cc, gel type implants. I have always been a 36B and really didn't want to go much bigger. I am looking for more of a lift than making them bigger. He also sucked out 3.2 liters of fat. Hopefully I'll end up under the 130lb mark when this is all said and done. Hoorah!
The pain is better this morning. I'm hoping it will continue to improve today so that I can take a shower tomorrow. I think that will make me feel better. I've had quite a bit of draining from the lip and I think I popped one stitch in my butt.
That's the most I can muster today. WIll continue to post as my recovery continues.

Congrats!! It WILL get better. :) Take it easy for a few days, let others pamper you and try to get lots of rest. Your pain meds will be your best friends for a bit, set a timer and don't feel bad for taking them. Happy healing!

Thank you! Yes, I'm trying to do as little as possible and take advantage of hubby and mother-in-law while they're around. The meds are GREAT but know me out. Hopefully I can start tapering in the next day or two. I will continue to document my progress. :)

Congrats!!
Like others have said it will get better. Stay on top of your mess, rest up, and don't over do it. We as women are so use to being superwoman, but this recovery is a long process. Enjoy being pampered by the family as long as you can.

Thanks! Today was MUCH better than yesterday. I've been managing to shuffle around the house but am staying put for the most part. And staying on top of my pain meds. The shower did me a world of good! I really like my results so far and know this is just the beginning!
