Hi all,
Just a quick update. I am doing well. I went back to work on Monday. I am not lifting anything but other than that I can pretty much do everything else. I am bruised but not too sore. My stitches are healing okay. I have to go to work so bye for now.
Cheers!

Day Two
Hi all,
Today is the day after. So far so good. I am sore of course, bruised like crazy and moving is a bit tricky. Other than that I am doing well. I am not using any pain meds except for a bit of Advil and that is just to help swelling. My doctor put a compression belt on me. I thought it would be more like a compression garment like a jumper that goes down the legs to the knees and all. It was not. I bought a jumper ahead of time. I took off my belt to shower today. My blood pressure dropped like crazy. I put on my jumper and showered with it on. I washed out my belt and dried it (all while wearing my jumper). I let my jumper dry on my body. Tomorrow when I shower I will take my belt off, shower with my jumper on, then change jumpers (I got a couple more today at Walmart). That should help with the blood pressure drop.
Other than that I am doing fine and it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Of course I look like I was beat with a bat. I look slightly slimmer. I know it will take a long time to get rid of the swelling. I am excited to see the results!
Cheers!

On My Way Home
Hi all,
Well it is done! It went well (except for the IV). I am a bit sore. Not bad. Of course I cannot really see what it looks like so far. I can feel swelling, but a lack of the fat. I am able to get up, walk around, get out of bed and more. Going to the bathroom hurts. Stairs are tricky, but manageable. I'm able to lay down and be comfortable. So far, so good!
Cheers!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow...
Hi all,
The big day is just around the corner. I am super excited. I am also a big ball of nerves. So nervous in fact I have not had an appetite the last couple days. I have been eating as much as possible. I know I need to. I want to tell my Facebook family about this, but I have not. I am a bit afraid of being judged. But hey it is my body I have to live with. Not theirs.
Cheers!

The Mirror
Hi all,
Three short days till surgery. Yikes! I am excited, nervous.
Today after I showered I noticed myself in the mirror. I did not like what I saw. I do believe once this is all over there will be a huge difference.
At work I wear a uniform. The pants do not fit me well. My pants at home never fit well. I am sure there will be a difference. I am so excited to get into my clothes on the other side. I know I will never be perfect, but I hope to be happier with my reflection.
But I am nervous. Going under and the pain thereafter scares me. I keep thinking it's worth it, it's worth it. It's all totally worth it.
Cheers!

5 Days Away from Liposuction
Hi all!
I am five short days away from having liposuction!!?!! On that thought I have continued to do research on the topic. I have been watching YouTube videos on people's previous experiences. I saw one yesterday and it has me slightly concerned. She was a few days after her surgery explaining how she feels. She was very happy with her results. However she would get light headed to the point of passing out. I wonder if it is common. I guess I am not very scared. I have a few concerns, but for the most part I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.
I guess I will do more research. I have a lot of jeans that are tight on me, so I am excited to be able to fit in them better. If they are too loose, I guess that will be a good problem to have.
Cheers!
