My surgeon went back to his original,plan and did the extended horizontal cut instead of the anchor. Got home around 6 pm yesterday. The lipo pain actually hurts more since its right above my butt and obviously being leaned on in the recliner. I've been on top of my pain pills, setting alarms. I've been going to the bathroom like crazy, which is good since it gets me up for a bit. Went to see the surgeon today and he said everything looks great and his staff was impressed with how with it I was. He changed my dressings, I couldn't see anything but my mom was super excited about how everything looked. I haven't had much of an appetite and been pretty much living off of Gatorade and NSA apple sauce.

Oh yeah, he removed 7.5 lbs of skin plus the lipo. Probably around 10-12 lbs total

I'm feeling really good today, even sat at the table this morning for breakfast! Already cutting back on my Percocet a bit, instead of every 4 hours I'm aiming for 5. Walking laps around the kitchen every time I go to the bathroom. Haven't pooped yet but I started farting some air out last night. My drains are already pretty low. The one only put out like 5 ccs from 8p-8a and the other was around 25. I'll probably at least attempt a shower sometime this afternoon. I'm really surprised I'm feeling this good. Hopefully it stays this way!

Great news. Glad to hear that things are going well, all things considered. A shower will feel AMAZING!! I am recovering from a LBL on Wednesday, and I can honestly say that the first shower and having my back washed with a facecloth (thanks mom!!) was one of the best feelings ever!!!!

It seems like all 3 of us from this week are doing really well! My only real issue today is having too much energy and not getting the rest that I need lol. I'm working on getting myself in and out of the recliner so I'm not relying so much on my mom, she goes back to work tomorrow and worst case scenario is being alone for 5 hours but she's trying to rearrange her schedule a bit

I'm back to eating mostly normal and am getting in and out of the recliner by myself. This is the first time I've been alone at all and I'm feeling okay so far. Tmi, I pooped this morning with no pain which was strangely exciting lol. My back just hurts from being hunched over and my one drain is starting to tug a little depending on the position I'm in, but things are still going mostly smooth. Hopefully ill get a picture up once my drains come out.

What are you having done?

One week update!!!

Had my one week checkup this morning. Both drains are gone! Such a great feeling! It feels weird to be able to get underwear on again (although they're super tight with swelling). He said everything is healing nicely. He seems genuinely excited to see my final results which of course makes me even more excited. I have a weird indent looking thing on my hip which he said will go away, it's just where a deep stitch is that will smooth out.

I was feeling good after so came home and took a nap and then tagged along with my sister for her wedding dress fitting. All I did at the seamstress was sit in a chair but oh my goodness it exhausted me! It felt good to get out and do something human though lol.

Despite all my swelling me and my mom checked my measurements this morning (I'm gonna need them to order my compression stuff tonight anyway). Even being super swollen my hips and thighs are down an inch each! My waist is up a few inches though. It surprised me that even my bra felt tight on the loosest hook when I usually have it on the tightest.
