2 Weeks Post Op
My goal mentally going into this was to make it to 2 weeks. Surprisingly, things were easier sooner. But I still had my “moments”.
Day of surgery... weight 213, height 5’6. Things went great in the OR. I had a TT, MR, and Lipo to flanks and axilla area (side boob fat). Afterwards I hit a few bumps, but nothing to major.
Day 2.... don’t remember it to much, was dealing with nausea and not wanting to eat. I do remember thinking the pain wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected.
Day 3.... at 1am (so less than 36 from surgery) I took my last pain pill. Tylenol and the muscle relaxer were enough.
Also on Day 3 I made it a goal to get in and out of the chair by myself. I did need a little assistance getting the pillows back under my legs. Also took first shower, and even though I felt nauseous and didn’t have the energy it was SO worth it.
Day 4... prepared myself my own breakfast. Lower back really starting hurting. Tried to lay in my own bed, I got in okay, but couldn’t get comfortable and getting out was horrible.
Day 5... sat outside and it was WONDERFUL!!!! And my appetite finally starting coming back.
Day 6... With docs permission I started short walks (10 mins). Which really helped with my lower back.
Day 7.... first post op appointment. Doc was impressed with how upright I was and how good I was feeling. He removed one drain.
Day 8... started sleeping in my own bed, didn’t make it through the night until day 11.
Day 9&10&11... we had a busy weekend, nothing strenuous. And I took lots of naps. Felt great to get out of the house as much as I did!
Day 12... drove for the first time. Went to the grocery store and picked up a few things. When I got home I had my kids bring everything in.
Day.. 2 weeks post op!!! Weight 201 (and I’m still 5’6 ). I continue to do a little more each day in the restrictions I’m allowed. Lower back pain is just about gone and I’m pretty much back to standing completely straight.
