Doctors Visit today... down 17 pounds....

I had a post release doctor visit today, with both the plastic surgeon and the er surgeon, since I cannot drive I had to make them the same day.

 

the breasts are still squarish and will be until they 'fill out' four months from now... I must have missed that in the consult.. I thought my boobs would be ready immediately post op.

 

I had some oozing from the incision.. the doc said it was ok, and gave me oozing catching gauze. . .  I have to treat my belly button twice per day. I go back to see here in 3 days.

 

At the ER surgeon, he said I could eat solid foods in 9 days. I have to keep on clear liquids with protein enhancements for three more days, then all protein shakes for three days, then soft foods for three days..

 

Oh and I lost 17 pounds.. so I am literally skin and bones... I lost my butt.. my big jiggly butt is no more.

Yeah, the squarish boobs are a little startling. They'll settle down. I'm still waiting for my right one to drop all the way.

I haven't heard of anyone having a restricted diet after their plastics. Interesting.

17 pounds is great.

Soundsl ike you are doing well overall.

Take care!!

yay for you!!!

But I think I gained your 17!!!!

I have to get back to work and back to having structure in my life. I'm the first to say that before surgery I was thrilled about the time off.. Now I want it to go away!!

  I was not on any food restrictions.... probably should have been though!

Jujuvee:  I am right with you, I wish I would have thought about doing a restricted diet right after plastics but all I wanted to do was EAT.  Even with pain, I wanted and needed food.  I gained also and where I work I cant come back till I can lift 50 lbs and my doctor won't release me on that till sometime in January...so 4 long months of sitting home and EATING because of stress and boredom and lack of exercise.
