Yesterday was my lipo appointment. My husband dropped me off at 7am and picked me up around 2. I'd say it was a long day but I was pretty drugged up and didn't mind lying half sleep on the table.
To be totally honest, I was kind of dreading going in yesterday. In fact, I almost delayed the procedure until the fall at the last minute. Although I'm really happy with the results of my stomach surgery two months ago, I just wasn't looking forward to facing two weeks of swelling and soreness.
But now, 24 hours after surgery - I'm so glad I got it done. I drained a lot more this time, which was kind of gross this morning when I took off all the padding. But even swollen - I love my new shape. My love handles are gone, my thighs are thinner and I have to say, I have a cute butt. I can't wait to see what things will look like when the swelling goes down as I start to heal. I also feel like the holes are much less noticeable this time.
Most surprisingly, I am not sore. Not at all. After my stomach surgery I couldn't lay on my stomach for at least 3 or 4 days. And if someone had pressed on my abs I probably would have screamed. But I was tossing and turning last night with no problem. If it wasn't for all the pads I have to wear while I finish draining, I might consider going to Crossfit tonight. No Joke.
Before surgery I weighed in at 115.4. That's probably the last time I'll weigh myself for at least the next week. I don't expect to lose any weight from the lipo - since its more about shaping, but the scale will be off because of all the swelling. Once I feel like the swelling has gone down enough I'll establish a new base and goal weight.
