Day 4 post op while recovering from loose skin removal — Part 1

This is what day 4 post-op from full leg loose skin removal looks like for me! ☺️

The day before this was a big turning point. I was finally able to get in and out of bed, the car, and the couch completely on my own. The first couple of days, I definitely needed help with all of that.

I actually got a little “ready” this day… which just means taking out my 4-day-old hair, throwing it back up and putting in contacts instead of wearing my glasses. 😅

I also started feeling itchy (which is actually a good sign since it means healing is happening 🙌). Swelling, though… still very much at full capacity in my legs and feet on this day.

I get lots of rest but it’s also important to get in movement too. Every two hours or so, I make sure to get up and walk around the house a little.

My nurse was with me the first two days and then my mom took over! ☺️

Here’s what I had / took throughout this video:
• 3 eggs on sourdough bread
• Apple with peanut butter
• Water + electrolytes (used Re-Lyte this time)
• Prescribed hydrocodone (for pain)
• Prescribed antibiotic (to prevent infections)
• Lovenox injection (to help prevent blood clots)
• Benadryl (for itchiness)

I wanted to show as much of the day as possible, so this is Part 1 — Part 2 will be up tonight with lunch, dinner, and my first post-op shower! 💜
