Awww, thank you.
I'm trying to be helpful with sharing my experience... Which I think is good thing to do as its somewhat unique in some aspects. Also I don't want to hide behind a facade of fake positivity, or to make this look like its nothing but rosy rainbow tinted highlight after highlight. Quite the opposite, doing NBE is the fun part, but transition in its entirety is like trying to run in a swamp. Its far less glamorous than what I was taught to believe.
Btw, its eigth day post op and today is the first one I'm pushing through without a single painkiller so far, I might take one before sleep as it always gets worse towards the night. Antibiotic ran out yesterday morning so that's dealt with.
Swelling keeps going down. My breasts have lost some volume which I think has been mostly swelling also. I've been drinking a lot of water and also pineapplejuice to help get rid of the extra fluids I've been carrying around. Bruising is on its last legs, most is pale yellow remnants of dead blood cells and that's it. Wounds are healing well, several stiches look like my body is really wanting to reject them soon, no signs of infection anywhere. I did massage of the lipo areas today twice and its painful but there's also really juicy deep itch all over me which is fantastic sign. Massage also feels great as I can tell how I'm geeting blood flowing in there. My surgeon spoke about lymphatic massage for helping lipo recovery, but I'm not aware which spots those would be for flanks, back and tummy.
So far I'm extremely pleased with the results. I'm restarting some NBE stuffs today and tomorrow, for Prog cream I have to wait for a bit as iHerb was out of stock.
