It's funny you say that - today is the first day I am feeling any pain in my breasts since my abdomen has been SO intensely painful.  I guess I can't imagine having my arms done at the same time, because I have to use my arms to hike myself up on my wedge pillow or to climb out of bed.  Without arms, I would literally have to lay prone and would likely cry and whine ha ha.

I do feel like I turned a corner today, 4 days post-op.  I got up this morning, got myself out of bed, made a coffee, drained my drains, and generally felt like a human.  If only I could walk upright...

I am back online catching up on work (at least until my next dose of Oxycodone) so that gives me something to focus on as well!

And thanks for the compliment.  I do feel great though I hate that I am inexplicably up 10 lbs from surgery.  I can't wait to see that scale go down, especially since I am barely eating 1,000 calories a day.

Have a great day!

You really do look fantastic, it's so amazing what they can do isn't it!

You could see, never mind FEEL I had lipo on my flanks and my mons. OMG, I hurt like hell from the lipo. Incisions didn't hurt at all, my muscles hurt and where lipo was done I looked like I had been beaten, black and purple and pain to move TMI-and wipe after going p 😭

Each day will get better, keep on top of your meds and take it slow.
