1 week Doctor Visit. I can do this!! ????????????????????
So, today I was able to see my before pics of my back and was defiantly the encouragement I needed. I'm starting to message the areas that are needed and that's a bittersweet task within itself. Initially hurts but feels better with time. TIME is the key piece to lipo. I'm learning and it's no easy. Patience has always been my problem area. Concentrainf on the positives each day and praying after this week the swelling will decrease enough that my garment will not feel like it's squeezing the life out of me. I am able to get around so much better today. I made the mistake of lifting my laptop bag and oh my, I though something in my stomach was going to bust out.-what it felt like. Below are pics of my back before, one day after, and today which is day 7. Chugging forward....
Liposuction day 7 One week!
Today I have my one week check up. I actually slept all night last night. I've started to unzip the side of my garment a tad while sleeping, as it's so tight and feels a little more comfortable with the wee bit of unzipping at night. I've completely stopped taking my pain meds outside of ibuprofen. I also take Benadryl and arnica tablet. My swelling is still max capacity this morning. I feel like I'm going to pop out of my garment any second.
I'm 6 days post op from my procedure. The pain is...
I'm 6 days post op from my procedure. The pain is completely bearable, but the discomfort from swelling is overwhelming. My compression garment is very uncomfortable. I have difficulties finding a manageable position to lay or sit. It truly feels like my mid section is a barrel. The garment leaves indentions and I feel like I'm swollen to the max capacity. I weigh 6 pounds more since my procedure. I'm severely depressed and regretful with my decision at this point. I know it's not instant gratification but I feel awful and completely out of my normal routines and feel like I've depressed my family also. Unable to do any normal functions with my daughter as in literally limited to my chair or bed. I have no clothes that fit, I've been wearing night gowns and house robes all week long. I hope it gets better soon, as my overall thoughts now are nothing more than regret.
