almost 1 month post op

Ive since deleted my fat picw but if u compare the pics from my first post to now....sigh. When i see myself i am reminded of the greek statues with portly well shaped women. Lol i am definitely on the fluffier side now but i am shaped well. I went back to the gym yesterday and worked on my arms and legs as well as 30 minutes on stairs. Today i ran 3/4th of a mile SLOWLY. Every vigorous movement makes me nauseous. I ran for 12 minutes then could take no more. But once i stop moving, i immediately feel better. I'll continue to gym it out daily till im back to 8mins/mile

updates with pictures to follow

So i am 19 DAYS POST OP. CRAZY!
The swelling in my midsection has decreased tremendously. My measurements are now 37-34-42. Lipo took me down 2 inches. I cant begin to tell you how ATTRACTIVE I feel. I can put on anything and just feel like DAMN!
I love look at myself in a bra and panties. I mean i am beyond sexy. And i still have pudge in some of my dresses and i still have my intestine pouch which is very visible when i sit, but i look damn good standing. Only had a liter taken out and i look amazing.
I went to new England and the cold worked WONDERS with the swelling in my legs. I have one medium sized lump on my inner thigh that i have been massaging because it is quite hard. I can drive without pain. And i want to stretch badly but it feels like i may rip something when i try.
Tomorrow I'm going to the gym. My breasts are getting bigger which tells me im gaining weight.

update

I feel like i haven't been on here in forever, or at least thats how the days have felt this week. Fyi this has been a HORRIBLE week.

So i called Dr Rankin's cell on Sunday to tell him about my leg and he met me, within the hour, at his office, which was closed, with his son in tow. They don't make em like THAT anymore.
After evaluating me he concluded that it was swelling which had concentrated in my right thigh especially in the inner aspect of it. He was highly doubtful that it was a clot and my nursing judgement to cut the garment to get circulation to the leg was the best thing i could have done.
We agreed on applying conpression to only my abdomen and leave my legs alone. While this will compromise the final result of my inner thigh suction I'd rather have an ugly thigh than lose a leg tryna be cute.
Sooo the garment he put me in works well. I had also sparked a fever that day that put me in a delirium so i treated myself with lots of fluids and a very heavy meal. Then i took my pain medicine because it has tylenol in it, to break the fever, and a sleeping aid so I'd fall asleep and not work myself up and get hurt. I slept for 12 hours in the cold ( i didnt want to overheat and seize while i slept) when i wokw up i felt 1 million times better. Fever was broken. Swelling had gone down like 50%.
I toom my garment off and i was the sexiest damn thing i had ever seen. My stomach was supermodel flat, my hips stood out like a video vixen's and maaaan i was sexy as hell. I looked every where for my phone and couldnt find it. Lol. I ended up getting my missing period and i dont want to take pics while im all menstrual because overall I'm a disgusting person during that time amd id rather not look at myself. Once its gone ill show you pics. Until then TRUST ME even though he only took out 1liter he worked straight miracles. MIRACLES.
lol.
I feel myself getting feverish and i have work later so i need to sleep. lata!

Dr Rankin and his staff were very pleasant for my consultation. He was easy going and moved at a pace that was unexpected for me. I work with doctors daily in the hospital and their interactions with their patients move quickly so I had expected his from him as well but he took his time which I greatly appreciated and warned me about things I hadn't read online, for example that I would have leakage and some third spacing for a few days but that it was normal.
