Day 4 post op-a few random thoughts
My procedure was on Friday 6/24 and dorsal is Tuesday.
Day 2 and 3 I was itchy!!! Every time I took my garment off.
No pain. Just soreness like I overdid a workout. My hips and outer thigh are numb and swollen. My back is too but not much since not much fat was taken out of there.
Yesterday I went outside for a two mile walk and the first 15 minutes my bra rolls were really sore but as I kept warming up the soreness went away. Today my bra rolls feel a lot less sore so hooray for exercise. Today I will go to the gym to walk and do recumbent bike.
The bruising is going down a lot. I'm no expert but I credit it to the walk.
Had to exchange my garment to spanx to sleep. The damn garment is terrible to sleep with.
My post op is on 7/7. I hope my swelling is down enough to gauge if I need a revision. I hope is just normal swelling but I think my right hip is still big.
All my incisions are closed and the worst incisions were in my shoulders. The damn things are big and burn!! The last ones to close were on my outer thigh.
I was on phentermine before the surgery so I was told to stop it 2 days before and j could resume it two day after and I did. No adverse effects.

And I am already climbing a ladder to clean my chandeliers. Haha. I feel really good. The day of surgery I made it home and laid down all day. I peed a lot, I guess due to the fluid they pumped on me. They took 3/4 of a gallon of fat , mainly from my hips. I got up and walked around and my pain was about a 2. At one point my inductions did burn a bit so I took a Vicodin and watched TV. Yesterday I spent most of the day laying around the house being bored but I was sore. Sore like I exercised a lot after I took a beating with a stick but even so, I wasn't in much pain.
The most annoying and uncomfortable thing for me is the stupid garment. Ugh! I hate the damn thing and I am dreading going back to work with it on. It digs everywhere!
I loosen it a lot so I can sleep and a few times during the day. I already took a shower yesterday and redressed my inductions with breathable gauze. My incisions look good. I am taking arnica and my antibiotics as instructed.
I feel so good tomorrow i may go to the gym just to walk. I want to get my body used to the movement because you can't be a wuss. I am already walking and lovins as normal despite the soreness but the soreness today is about 50% better than yesterday!
