9 months!!

I am almost 6 weeks PO & I've been standing up completely straight for almost 2 weeks now.. i feel amazing !! I even had a girls night out this past weekend, after being stuck in the house for a month I needed it!! I bought some clothes , nothing crazy but i do fit comfortably in a size 5 jeans with no skin hanging over! it was such a great feeling! I weighed myself and I'm 123.... I went into surgery at 128.. I do however have a huge appetite , but I'm starting back at the gym today & def looking forward to it! I need to work on my legs & arm now!! lol.. i posted 2 new recent pics at 5 weeks.. I will post more as I continue to heal... I really have very minimum swelling now and my scar is healing great i use scarguard on it 2 x's a day and sometimes a little mederma, the scar is not raised and its like a pink line ..I think ill post a pic of the scar so you all can see.. so far I am VERY pleased with my results .. will update again soon!!

1 week post op today & I feel so much better.. I"m walking around a lot more , did a little cleaning .. i still cant stand up completely straight so it puts a lot on my back and i have to sit down after a couple of mins.. I Had my first post op visit yesterday , My surgeon is on vacation this week so I saw the nurse, she took out one drain & told me to call Thursday to possibly have the other one removed because she just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to collect anymore fluid....I also seen my stomach for the first time, & what a difference!! I took pics & will post them sometime today... still very swollen , as I know this will take some time to go down. I will see my surgeon on Monday... well my back is sore from sitting up to long so back to the recliner I got for a little while.. will update soon...

I did it!!! I was a little nervous but i actually had a good first day... the thing that bothered me the most was the ride home!! I had to pee every 5 mins & it was intense! mind you I got out of the dr around rush hour and i live 30 mins away so traffic was hell... when I got home I had to get up to pee every few mins & I drank lots of water .. the first night was not so bad , I didn't have to take any pain meds and I was wide awake so I didn't sleep much , It wasn't til the next day that it hit me.. I was very swollen & sore .. so i wind up taking pain meds for but for only 2 days and that was it.. Today I'm 5 days Post op and my last pain med was Friday night...I have 2 drains in that are a huge pain in the butt.. & I hope I get them out on wed at my 1 week PO appt. I feel ok while I'm sitting down , but walking around is hard, I cant stand up straight still and that is putting a lot of strain on my back, My bruising has gotten better from the LIPO but I'm still swollen and sore.. I get shortness of breath when i walk around because of all the energy it takes me to get around.. but i try and walk around a lot anyways ...If had a really big appetite which sucks, but i try & eat healthy.. I'm craving sweets so I eat a lot of fruits.. especially Pineapple...because I heard pineapple was good for the bruising & swelling.. I also read a lot about arnica gel (sold at GNC or health food stores) and I have been rubbing it on my bruising & swelling for 2 days & have noticed an improvement...I feel a little depressed at times which i know is normal .. because of being restricted to the recliner all day .. I cant wait to get out again... My BF went back to work today and my 5 year old son is home with me, thank god hes good & we prepared easy meals for him for me to just take out of the fridge until the BF gets home.. well thats all for now & ill update again in a couple of days.. :)
