hello its Bella I'm here to talk to you
guys about how to prep for surgery I
recently had plastic surgery done which
I will talk about in my blog and
possibly do a video about for the
purposes of this video though I'm not
gonna get into what exactly I had done
but I'm gonna get into how I prepared
there are a bunch of things that you can
do to prepare and one of them is taking
supplements in your normal diet so romo
lean and arnica are two supplements that
I highly recommend my doctor didn't
necessarily recommend me taking them but
just from all the research that I've
done it seemed like it couldn't hurt I
cleared it with him so make sure that
you clear with your doctor if you're
having surgery that this is okay the
experience that I'm gonna tell you about
is my own and I don't you know I'm not a
doctor so the recommended dosing is
definitely my personal use and that of
my personal recommendation but with that
said always run this by your doctor
because you never know according to your
specific situation what may happen or
what your outcome may be so first of all
I'll start with arnica a lot of people
know about this already but I don't
really know if they know what it does
arnica is very very helpful when it
comes to bruises or a muscle soreness
and your process of healing it is an
herbal supplement and it's not you know
so it's not a drug you don't need a
prescription for it you can go into any
health food store or go on Amazon and
buy it I have some links in my bio below
this specific brand is Highlands and
they're a homeopathic brand they have a
bunch of different items this strength
on this arnica is 30 X which is the
potency so arnica ranges from about 6 X
to 30 X 30 X is the highest potency that
I was able to get so that's what I got
it has 250 tablets I think it was about
I can't remember the price I do
apologize so I'll look that in the
bottom as well the directions dissolve
for tablets under tongue four times a
day
I personally did this six times a day
two weeks post two weeks
before my surgery so it was you know
every couple hours I would just put four
of these under my tongue it doesn't
matter if I ate or not I didn't get sick
from it and what it did is it kind of
built it up in my system for those two
weeks prior so by the time I went in to
have surgery I already had a good amount
of this in my system and I was ready to
go I'm also one week post-op and I've
been taking it I took it eight times a
day right before and right after my
surgery so the day before in the day
after my surgery and then I took it back
at six times a day you know I'll take
that through the rest of the two weeks
during my initial healing period and
then I'll go back down to their
recommended dose which is four tablets
four times a day for another two weeks
so I will list this list this regimen
below and again double check all this
with your doctor so that's arnica um the
next up woman is bromelain and I don't
know if this is as well known as arnica
I chose the now brand again you can get
this on Amazon or any health food store
buy you the strength of this bromelain
is 2400 GDU which is gelatin digesting
units so every 500 milligrams so
basically what that means is it's a
protein digesting enzyme um it comes
from pineapple and GDU is basically how
they measure the strength so how many
gelatin zuv or units of gelatin can this
process per gram so in a in a basic
explanation its how strong it is 24800
is pretty strong I bought this because I
trust this brand all of their products
have been excellent I'm also vegan and
they have the vegetarian vegan capsules
again this serving is one veggie capsule
per day and it's derived from pineapples
so you hear a lot of girls after surgery
and by say oh I'm just drinking a lot of
pineapple juice cuz it aids with my
swelling and then it helps you know it
actually prevents the enzymes from
forming to give you blood clots and
just a lot of a lot of positive results
from this and this is what the
ingredient is that they are getting from
the pineapple so you know I'm all about
just going straight to the source and
getting as much as possible so again
bromelain I take this twice a day for
two weeks before surgery and then also
twice a day for two weeks after surgery
and it has helped me tremendously my
swelling is insanely low I'm not in a
lot of pain at all and that's exactly
what this is supposed to do it breaks
down something called fibrin which is a
blood-clotting protein so make sure that
you don't take this if you have blood
thinners already like a prescription for
blood thinners definitely check with
your doctor before you take that this it
is very effective again you don't need a
prescription for it and it's just it's
just an awesome product so bromelain and
arnica I will I will link my schedule of
dosing below so you guys have something
to refer to again make sure you check
with your doctor this is bell Anonymous
