A safe space to drop your baggage, bemoan your post op life issues (rational or not) without the worry of someone trying to "Iyanla fix my life" and hopefully leave feeling lighter

PS - Forgot to add I had a fight with my iPad last night & lost. Was trying to stretch out my sore elbows while reading in bed & lost hold of the iPad. Bang straight onto my face. Waaaah! The corner slammed into my lip. I now have a very unattractive, swollen bruise on my lower lip. ?

omg, I know how you feel...I've dropped an iPad (or phone) or two on my face on more than one occasion.

Ouch!

He came with me for surgery and received all my post op instructions while I was *impaired* & he plans to follow the rules for my safety ?

I forgot that surgery can mess with your hormones/mentrual cycle

Yup, mines is definitely messed up. I woke up this morning to a surprise. The worst part of it was that I ran out of pads ?

My bf rushed to the store for me while I was in the shower so I wouldn't be late for this mornings meeting.

Hello cramps...

I've had some pretty good sx in the past and i would have to say... Partial hysterectomy was a great one....

My TT was wayyyyyyyy back in 2012...... don't worry you guys the swelling goes away... just keep wearing the compression. I drank a sh!t ton of pineapple juice. I want to say a good 4 months before my stomach was flat... SX was March 2012 and by July i was rocking a bikini for the first time in over 20 years.

My husband and i were talking about a BL the other day and i thought.... man it would be nice to have them high and tight.... but i don't want the pain and the chance of them coming out all funky.... so, for now, they are what they are.... a 32G....

Someone needs to start a topic on ....... These old bones..... where we can all gripe about a$$ bones and such.... hehehehehe

Thank you! There is light at the end of this swollen tunnel ?

I was trying to drink straight pineapple juice but its so sweet I have to cut it with water, and o feel like its defeating the purpose

My Tatas were no where near your size when i went for the lift but they needed serious reconstruction. They came out beautifully I was so surprised.

Save that sx for a raining day emergency especially since you are in mint condition?

It works.... or it worked for me.... The first was at 5 weeks and the other was at one year... FYI, i weigh less now... so glad i will be able to rock this bikini this summer...

Last year i was WAYYYYYYY to fat. this was pre-band removal (2017)... I want to say the summer of 2016. I want to take pictures... but im way to white... God i need a tannnnn

Your swelling at 5 weeks is like half of mine! I may have to go find some bromelain supplements (the enzyme in pineapple juice) as the I think I will likely dump if I drink the juice straight.

P.S. you are so lucky that you kept your butt throughout the weight loss! va-va-voom...

Am I the only one who read that as “I’ve had some pretty good s*x in the past”? Lord cleanse my mind ??‍♀️

Anyways as far as pineapple juice goes have either one of you @ms.sss @GreenTealael tried pineapple water? When my step mom is bloated she will boil pineapple cinnamon sticks and cloves and then drink it cold, sometimes even hot. You can add a sweetener or not but it usually helps her. Not the same as being swollen from surgery but maybe it could work ?

Oh and @BayougirlMrsS you look hot!

I've generally been feeling good, and in anticipation of getting cleared for free-reign exercise this afternoon at my 6 wk PS post op appt, I put on my running shoes (not boots this time) and a nice solid sports bra for a real RUN around the neighbourhood for the first time in a looooooooong time.

Result: Running Fail.

I barely did 2km and had to stop cuz my boobs started to ache again. Dammit.

It's been about 30 mins since that stupid run and my boobs still hurt. What was I thinking. Geez.

You'll get there babe! Think major surgery. Minor setbacks. Amazing things yet to accomplish when the bod is ready.

...this is actually a good idea. I've read that the enzyme with the anti-inflammatoriy properties are concentrated in the stem of the pineapple,so maybe I can boil that part...?

...will research some more, thanks for the tip!
