Hey y'all, your girl is back and today is post-op day one and your girl is feeling so much better. Since I'm not taking any pain medications, the pain has been weighing on me, but I'm doing so much better and I have been going to the bathroom non-stop because you do want to let the fluids out and from the anesthesia. I'll be recommend this female urinal than the front of the other one because the other one y'all going to pee on your thigh, but this one I didn't pee on my thigh at all. I love how this recovery home makes sure to take our vitals and everything, write them down just to make sure they're on track with us. Since today is post-op day one, she made sure I had something in my stomach before I go to my post-op appointment because I will be getting my first massage. Y'all going to need that tea because your throat going to be hurting so bad from the surgery. I while I'm walking to the car, they talking about girl, you look so good. I'm like, yeah, thank you. You know, sipping tea. Now, here come the hard part getting my behind back into this truck, y'all. Like, uh, it just be feeling so heavy. Your body just be feeling so sore like two trucks done ran over you, but I arrive to the surgery center and my girl was just getting me right, letting me know that I do need to take these blood thinners to prevent blood clots. I would highly recommend you ask your doctor to prescribe these for you if you don't already prescribe them so you can make sure you prevent them getting blood clots. Then it was time for me to get my first massage, y'all. I was so scared, but actually it went really well. I did kind of feel like I was about to faint. I didn't show y'all that part because it's just too much. Like I don't need y'all to see all that blood and stuff, but just knowing it went good. After that, they fed us with some quick lunch. Y'all, I'm over here playing while everybody in pain, but your girl is thick. So I'm need all y'all little booties to move over because beep beep, big Lila in town. But after I took a shower and everything, my massage therapist did tell me that I need to make sure I start drinking more fluids because I kind of feel like I was going to pass out. Y'all, this is the best. So you want to prevent forgetting an IV, make sure you get this. This made me feel so much better, y'all. It literally felt like I was ready to run a marathon. After I got my steps and my walking, I ended up taking my medications. This is kind of rolling into day two, you guys. My nurse at the recovery home did do my injection this time and it kind of felt better than the last time. It's a little burn, a little sting. If you can take this BBL surgery, then you can take this little injection, boo. To this bathroom, y'all, I keep having to go to the bathroom back to back. Like it's starting to get so annoying, but anyways, it's so worth it because all the fluid is coming out. I am finally able to start putting my foams in, so that's what she's doing for me today. Just so the pressure could go down and so I could drain a little bit more easier for tomorrow's massage. I did go ahead and buy me a BBL pillow so when I get on this plane, I have no complications. Lila, which is basically showing me how I would be sitting on it, is telling me making sure I do not sit on my butt, just making sure I'm literally sitting on my thighs. But yeah, y'all, this was the dinner for the night with some tea because y'all, I'm telling y'all, your throat going to be hurting, but until next time, y'all.
