2 weeks post lipo and feeling sad.

Yesterday was 2 weeks post. I took my measurements for the first time and my waist was 1/2 bigger, but belly was 1 1/2 inch smaller first thing in the morning. I did this to look curvier. Still get very swollen later as the day goes on.
I am supposed to wear the second garment (spanks) ...for 12 hours a day for the next 2 weeks. after a while when I swell, they cut into my skin...:(

12 days post

I saw my Dr. at 9 days post. He said everthing looks great. I'm still swollen and asked what % he thinks I'm still swollen. He said about 15%. I was hoping more like 50 %.!

I weigh exactly what I weighed the day in. I think he said he took about 2 or 3 lbs of fat and when all said and done, I should be 5 lbs less . I'm pretty stable, and keep my weight at the same place.
The binder he gave me is thick, so it's hard to hide. (It wraps around so you can adjust it. ) He said I can wear spanks, but when I'm swollen it cuts me, and I still swell especially later on.

I hope I will look ok on the end of the week as I have a going away party.
This was much harder than I realized!

One week post today.

I did a few errands yesterday, nothing major, and was completely wiped out by 8pm .
I have been eating normally --less salty stuff though and drinking lots of water and pure juices.
Still very swollen...especially last night where I felt like a tree trunk. Last night was hard because it felt like I had rubber bands squishing me and I hadn't gone to the bathroom in weeks. I did go of course..it just felt like that.
I weighed myself just out of curiousity and weigh the same...but of course this is not to lose weight,... I have no idea how much fat was taken out. I did this because whenever I get too thin, It doesn't look good. I lose in my face, and butt and my middle is my problem. I cannot wait to get back to working out and seeing the final results..
