No weight entry as I’m all bandaged up like a mummy and still swollen, BUT, it’s been 4 days since my circumferential body lift with fleur-de-lis and feel pretty good considering! I’m up and about, pacing the house like my Pop used to 😂 and managing the pain through extra strength Tylenol only at this point. Given what I feared, expected and was told, I’m doing well 👍🏻
One interesting lesson: working out matters! The fact that I’ve spent so much time strength-training means my other muscles are helping support me, speeding up my path back to mobility a lot. My arm and thigh muscles are strong, I can maneuver things like on and off the couch and toilet with much more easer than I could without having focused so much on strength training.
Had a couple of days where I had some extra snacks out of timing with medication and then out of boredom/comfort, but feeling back into a good routine today with the best diet for my needs right now based on my nerdy obsession with meal planning and batch cooking - high fibre, high protein, low sodium, hydration. Fingers crossed the incisions are healing as well as I feel 🤞
Two comments on the surgery: Confident it’s good, caught a glimpse before being discharged and could not believe how great mt stomach looked so excited to see it in post-op. The surgeon seemed cutely proud of his work 😊 Second, because I had no fat left in that area, I didn’t have any lipo done which will both help healing bc lipo is hard on the body, but also, the team removed 5 lbs of pure skin from my midsection that could never have come off any other way. Proud I was as lean and muscular as possible before having this done…I can feel good I did everything I could and no lipo needed was pretty cool 😎
