Lipo

Those post operation blues are nothing to scoff at. I was just down for about 3 days. I think being inactive and still feeling and seeing swelling was getting me down. Oh well, I got through it! Had my two week appt yesterday- Dr Healy took out some swelling/fluid from my right side. He confirmed that I'm still swollen all over and it will slowly subside. By the way, if your dr offers to remove some of the swelling with a needle, DO IT! It doesn't hurt at all (he put topical anesthetic lidocaine on it first) and it took about 10 minutes, tops. My side feels SO much better. Pushing on your skin and feeling something move/shift is a strange feeling and I wanted it to go away.
I'm happy with my results so far. I have zero pain, but still much tightness throughout the front of my abs. It's not uncomfortable, just a different, foreign feeling.
My appt was only about 15-20 minutes. He answered all my questions (is there such a thing as too much compression? Answer is yes- if you're reducing blood flow to the skin or inhibiting oxygen intake. Do I still have to wear my garment? Answer is yes until I'm not getting pockets of retained fluid)
Bruising is almost gone completely which is nice.
Worked all this week, no problems at work. Appetite is normal. Clothes are starting to fit much nicer.
Oh! Measurements!

Before surgery:
Waist: 36"
Belly button level: 40"
Love handles: 43"

2wk measurements:
Waist: 35"
Belly button level: 38.5
Love handles: 41"

Fingers crossed if keeps shrinking! Not being able to run is killing my workout options. I am going to have to suck it up and go to the gym and use the elliptical or some other low impact cardio.

Not much of a difference to make pictures worth posting.

Went to work today. I have a desk job so I do a lot of sitting. I feel much better today to include much less pain. I slept on my right side for about 1 hour last night and I was very comfortable.
