6 week update!

I can't believe its been 6 weeks since my surgery, time flies by! My clothes are still pretty loose, I've lost 10 pounds so far and feel pretty good. There isn't any soreness at all but I still have little lumps underneath my skin but that's not a big deal either. As for my stomach, I still have rolls when I sit and it looks like I have some belly fat when I'm standing. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely an improvement over my pre op belly but it's not as flat as I'd like. I also don't have a defined waist, you can see that from the pics. My flanks are smaller but my waistline just isn't there. I think that's just my natural body shape, I don't have a waist and definitely not built like an hourglass. I might try waist training to see if that works. I have a few corsets here and there but they are such a pain to wear. I guess beauty is pain!! I've posted the pics I took this morning. From the last pics, I don't see a whole lot of improvement. Maybe I'm done and that's it, this is as good as it'll get. Who knows.

Thank you! I've done three massages so far and I massage myself everyday! The lumps really aren't a big deal, you can really see them.

i see how the size went down but wondering why the curves did not come out or is that just how you are shaped ?
April 6, 2015
I think that's just how I'm shaped

Hi everyone. So I haven't updated in awhile but things are going well. My recovery has been pretty pain free after the first week. I still have some lumps and bumps here and there that I massage every night. I was supposed to have my period this week but I didnt. I'm guessing that's a result of the surgery. Belly is still swelling at night but pretty nice in the morning.

I went for another massage yesterday, it was awesome. Not really a massage but it smoothed out a lot of my lumps and bumps. They started with the ultrasonic fat system again. Then instead of a massage like last time they used this machine called dermocell that was like a cupping machine, it has a suction cup attached and they put it all over my stomach, sides and back. It felt like a kneading, sucking vibration. Then after that they put a reddish mask over my belly and back and wrapped me up like a burrito for about 20 minutes. It felt like a sauna. Afterward I peed a lot and felt pretty drained and tired. The lumps were a lot smaller. I've attached pictures of everything.
