One More Month Until my Nose Job! - Sydney, AU

Thank you :) oh there behind me at this moment but i'm certain tomorrow morning they wont be.

Doing good, last day of comfort before the hell that is tomorrow!

Thanks alot Angie :)

Haha nice.. mines is next Tuesday! we are almost there now.. i'm so excited for all my fellow ladies that are getting there surgery done from this site within days. It better go well for you and me both lol, Takecare & keep me posted x

mine is this Thursday! so im the first one going in, ill test the waters! I picked up my rx's today, bought a humidifier, Afrin, Sudafed, a neck pillow. got the guest room ready for me, lots of pillows, lip balm, books

Nice, i haven't gotten anything yet... I will stock up on goodies pretty soon. Don't forget to stock up on easy eating foods.

I have a few things so far but my Dr. really just encouraged me to stock up on ice packs or frozen peas and lots of panadol and to only take the strong pain medication at night as it can make you feel worse (i.e. nausea, constipation).

I just assumed the hospital would give me some after i leave i guess that's not the case. I do always have panadol at home and plenty of frozen peas. What strong pain medication did you buy? All i know is panadol lol.

They said they will give me stronger medication (not sure what it is) after my surgery but he said to try and stick with panadol because there are no side effects. He said I shouldn't be in very much pain just some discomfort :)

I had 4 rx's to fill: Zofran for nausea, Lortab 7.5mg hydrocodone for pain, Keflex antibiotic, Diflucan for the yeast im gunna sprout from the Keflex. plus otc Afrin nasal spray for severe congestion, & Sudafed for same. im going to call & request a couple of Ativan 1mg for nerves night b4 and morning of surgery

and raw rice in Ziploc in freezer make great small ice packs and can be constantly changed out for colder ones n refrozen

what would you recommend for food? I'd love to lose 20 pounds!

I plan on living on deserts after my surgery.. so that's ice cream, jello & custard.. defiantly not my time to lose weight. However, once i'm done recovering I do have to lose the extra chub. So that means sleeping well, exercising, eating all meals, plenty of vegetables, fruits and lean meats. I have however come across this product that i'm currently obsessed with it's Roasted Coconut Chips they are sooooo insanely good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to go the opposite and eat super healthy to hopefully speed up my recovery. I'm generally pretty healthy anyway (I'm gluten and lactose intolerant) but I want to be super strict after my surgery so I don't gain any weight as my Dr. told me I can't exercise for a month after! I'm going to be making soups and eating a lot of fruit and soy yoghurt :)

im stocking up on skinless boneless chicken grilled and raw veggies. lots of low cal Greek yogurt and tons of water. and my vitamin supplements :)

Ohh sounds yummy and healthy! My doctor told me not to take any vitamin supplements because it can affect your blood/bleeding??

dmaree24, girl84 and I want to email the three of us together bc our surgeries are all w/in a week of one another! yes I'm not allowed to take my herbs and supplements until after the surgery none before. Tons of Vit C helps healing and decreases scarring. ill take at least 3000mg/day after surgery

Sounds yum.. i just figured within the first week of getting operated on until cast removal i wouldn't be keen on cooking at all, I just visually see myself being bed bound eating ice cream, yogurt ,custard etc. I do hope after he removes my cast i look decent enough to go to the stores. I must certainly not forget to buy concealer that's for sure lol.

lol you're hysterically funny! go eat your yummies, and with concealer over your bruises you'll be gorgeous!

I better be! I'm dead certain that wont be the case however, he warned me i'm going to have a pig like nose. I can't see myself being hot with a pig nose along with concealed bruises.. I just see weirdness from my part and long stares from strangers lol.

pictures pictures! im not known for my patience :/

ok girl, time to share postop photos! im feeling good, how are you?

hey love! one more day girl! you are GOING TO BE SO HAPPY!

I'm thinking busted face more so then happy LOLL.. but yes i'm happy it's finally here happening and that i'm not so much in the waiting phase of months anymore feels great.

not yet.. it's tomorrow at 7am.
