There really isn’t a whole lot of excitement for Stomach Liposuction Post Op Day 2, unfortunately. A lot of dozing while binge watching Homeland on Netflix.
In a way, I feel really lazy because with the previous 5 liposuction surgeries I was at the gym working out with my trainer on day 2 post op (day 3 for my arms, solely due to the fact I had to attend a funeral of a close family member on day 2). However, the pain hasn’t eased up and it only seems to get worse when moving around. So I’m erring on the side of caution and have decided to just take it easy vs. pushing myself to my limits and over cooking it so that I’m down and out over the next week.
I completely plan on working on Monday (from my desk, at home) so the more rested I am, the more likely I can hang in there long enough to at least make it through a half day if not more.
Plus, tomorrow (Saturday, day 3 post op) a good friend of mine who moved to England this past fall and his step son are in town and we planned on hanging out. I really don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to hang out with everyone because I was an idiot and decided to prove to everyone I could work out on day 2 post op like every other time. It just doesn’t seem smart.
I did go to MLD, early in the morning, and the terrorized intern stayed on the other side of the room again. So at least there was a little bit of entertainment.
Something else I’m noticing is since I’m on full Tramadol vs the 50/50 Tramadol Paracetamol mix is I’ve totally lost my appetite. This isn’t necessarily a horrible thing since I’m not active at all.
All the wounds are still looking good, there’s no protein gathering in the folds. I’ve also noticed that I don’t have as much numbness as with other liposuctions. I wonder if this is because the liposuction didn’t get the last inch or two of fat out of my stomach.
