Staring on 12/30 ive been hitting the gym with some light exercise and each day ive been increasing my workout regime. I can honestly say every day i see better results! A smaller waistline to extenuate my curves and toned abdominals. I must say thought you have got to eat well! Since it was around the holidays where i got my surgery i wasnt eating my best and following any type of diet. So some days i would look bloated compared to others. These last couple days thought i have been really strict and my stomach is looking incredible by the end of the night! Like they say, done treat your stomach like a waste basket! Abs are made in the kitchen!!

Great result congrats, The 3 day post ops looks in my opinion the best. I did mine on the 28.12. and will also start work out in 2 days or so. Went from 80.4 to 74.5. The first time in my life it makes sense to work my abbs as there are great chances you will see them ;-)

Thanks for your story! You look great! I was very interested to read yours, because I would say your tummy looked the most similar to mine. I have always been athletic, played soccer for 15 years, college sports, etc and I could never lose my weight in the middle. The difference is, I'm 35 years old with three kids. However, I have kept up my workout regimen and most people would call me skinny and fit. But, I know how I have to camoflague my tummy area with layers and cardigans and all that crap. Furthermore, when I would take it to the next level and lose some extra weight, people would think I looked too skinny, cause as we all know, you can't spot reduce fat on your body. So frustrating! At any rate, I did just have the procedure this past Friday (1/8). My recovery's been going pretty well, better than I expected. However, I guess I was shocked about the amount of swelling. I, too, had the lipo done just on my trunk area. Do you remember the day, where the swelling went down....to at least the point you were at before the surgery? I don't know how long I can pull off wearing sweats and sweatshirts! And, with the wrap, it looks extra bulgy.

You look great.....your throat hurts because they most likely put in a breathing tube....250cc is 8oz...so your bladder was very full with 24oz....do you know what type of lipo you had done? was it tumescent? where they inject a solution of lidocaine and epinephrine then suck out the same amount they put in....

My doc told me my throat was hurting from the anesthesia. And i got basic lipo where they stick a millimeter rod in me a suck the fat in. (Sorry i dont know the correct term of) and they only took out 2 liters which is about 4 1/2 pounds of fat.

I have been in bed basically all day and I am feeling the pain. I have been taking one Percocet every 4 hours and I might increase it to two, Also I woke up with a horrible sore throat. It might be a reaction from the anesthesia. Im very tired throughout the day and my appetite is extremely minimal. I am drinking a lot of water throughout the day and I am having to pee quite off which is good. I still can't take that band off until tomorrow afternoon so we'll wait and see how the transition looks. EXCITED!!
