Lord Have Mercy!!! Let me tell yall. Coming from a person who does not take any medicine. All I can say is these meds had me Moody AF!!! Emotionally, I was all over the place. Fortunately, that's the bad news, because the good news was I never experienced any pain.
However... last night... I decided I wanted to stop taking the meds and return back to my old mental self. With my daughter by my side, we laid in my bed, I was very uncomfortable. I would rate my pain at around a 6. This is the most pain I have been in since the surgery. However, I was determined to tough it out. And I made it!!!!
Today, I have not taken any medicine at all and I have not been in any pain. I'm still taking it easy. Not doing too much. But, I am PRAYING TO GOD that my doctor remove my drains on Monday.
My last follow up, on Wednesday, the doctor said I was still having too much output in the drain. And my reaction was to storm out of the office and yell at them.....
"I AM NOT HAPPY!!!!! I AM GIVING YA'LL FIVE SAD FACE EMOJI'S AND 5 RED FACE MAD FACE EMOJI'S!!!!"😡😡😡😡😡😔😔😔😔😔
The whole staff looked puzzled and one nurse responded, "Five?"
"YES!!!!!! Five!!!!!!" I yelled as i left out of the office.
Since that visit, I just have been agitated with everyone. Not really my kids, because they really get on my nerves. But they have not been agitating me. Which is strange to me. I been really frustrated with my sister and my husband. My mom is on the list too, but I can't really be mad at her for too long.
What I would like ya'll to know is that meds have side effects. I've heard of people getting depressed or getting addicted to them. So just know that after the procedure, the medication will have some effects on you mentally eventhough it eliminates your pain.
Again... I would like to thank all the good people in my circle who knew I was agitated and continued to call, text, and message me anyway. I am forever grateful for them. Here are a few of my circle that’s been in my inbox.... I heart them for their concern for me!
Many people have asked alot of questions about my procedure and so let me address that real quickly.
1. Why did you pick your surgeon???? I love Dr. Rednam she was one of the few docs in Houston who offered the drainless tummy tuck. Eventhough, I was not a candidate for that procedure, I moved forward with allowing her to perform my surgery.
2. What are you eating Post Op? Yes. I had a little thanksgiving food. My cousin Bennie had a turkey soooooooooo good I couldve hurt myself eating it. Oh.... and they had potatoe salad. At my cousin Chirlanda's I had a little dressing and greens. Honestly, I did not eat toooooo much. Not nearly as much as I normally would have ate.
But typically everyday since the surgery, all I've been craving is WATERMELON & soup (Wonton Soup) I don't know why. Then, I also have a granola bar and a green tea.

3. Have you lost any weight? The surgeon removed about 4 lbs of skin and fat, but I got on the scale this morning (the day after thanksgiving and I had lost 6lbs.) I don't know whats that about since I haven't been moving much. Maybe because I have not been eating a lot. I really don't know
