WORTH IT$5,500
I was also my most active the last 2 days since I had surgery, not sure if that affected my bruising going away or if it was just the cleanse. :)

MASTER CLEANSE!!!!!
AlliTJuly 8, 2014
So, I asked my phycisican if I could do a master cleanse and he said yes - as long as I listen to my body and don't go crazy. I'm already feeling great and don't need the extra calories anymore so, I started the pre-cleanse 2 days ago- and I feel great!!
Today I woke up and noticed that since last night my bruises have gone away 50%. You will see when I post the pictures - amazing!
Goal with the cleanse is to rid myself of toxins pre and during surgery, as well to help reduce and flush the edema (swelling). so far so good!!
ALSO I had a routine foot massage during pedicure on Day 7 and it felt AMAZING. I felt a rushing feeling - I assume thru my lymphatic system. Doc says that my lymph nodes in my legs/feet were probably swollen which is why the massage felt so nice. I paid extra for her to massage my neck/back/arms after that and it was equally nice!!
Beceause the massage went over so well I researched "lymphatic drain bath" and I added a small box of baking soda, tons of Epsom salt and a mineral bath mix to a hot bath. OMG I was in there for 2 hours and it felt like HEAVEN. Could tell it made a difference in how I felt even the next day.
Will continue to post re-healing, my master cleanse and how it continues to affect the bruising and edema!! I am feeling GREAT!!
Still waiting to post pics so I can crop the before and afters together nicely.

Numbers on the scale
AlliTJuly 2, 2014
*I'm still taking pics every day to document but keep forgetting to upload them lol.. will do I promise!
Just a quick update on my weight since surgery:
Day 1 post op: GAINED 13lbs from before (this ALWAYS happens to me, I think it's to do with the anesthesia and all the fluids they pump thru you). I've learned not to judge the scale numbers for a while after surgery... they tend to just bum me out lol
Day 2: lost 3lbs (10lbs up from preop) Think the laxative helped
Day 3: lost 2lbs (8lbs up from preop) Peed a LOT this day... must be the swelling!
Day 4: lost 2lbs (6lbs up from preop) Same as day before. Water (edema/swelling) weighs more than fat so trying to remain calm
Looking pretty close to how I was pre surgery, smaller in some places - even tho scale says I'm heavier. Must be the swelling!
SIDE NOTE: I noticed that the swelling came down a LOT more in my upper body than my lower body, a lot more drainage there. So, just as an experiment I decided to do a handstand with my feel on the wall (only try this if you are feeling strong and maybe have someone near by just incase you get lightheaded).. but I felt a rushing feeling thru my body and it felt sooo good. I could be imagining things but I feel like I was helping encourage lymphatic drainage because everything was reverted. The lymphnodes we use to drain out of our legs are near our crotch - pretty rarely do we elevate our legs above our crotch lol.
ALSO I went back to the office today and had all the stitches removed. New garment still doesn't fit arms right now compress my back, waiting for 3 try to arrive in mail tomorrow!!
