Just Had Smart Lipo on Abs, Thighs, Flanks... So Far So Good!

 Well it's been almost 7 weeks since my SL and 3 weeks since my last post. Everything pretty much the same since my last post, but not really sore anymore. Had banana roll done two days ago, and it was a breeze compared to when  had my abs done. No pain during or after. Lots of drainage though. My doctor also did a touch up spot to my abs, which didn't hurt either. Now I'm back to wearing my garment 24/7.....yuck!

I am now on week 4 and I am down a few inches in my lower abs, still pretty much same everywhere else. Maybe a 1/ 2 inch or so in my thighs. My weight is down 3 lbs total since I had SL.  Still sore to the touch on my abs, but no pain. I really like the looks of my somewhat flat tummy, but the lumps and bumps are freaking me out! I hope they go away. They look so unnatural! I do feel (aside from the lumps) that  the results really do get better as the weeks go by. I was a little skeptical about that when I read that it takes 3- 6 months to see results, but I can understand that better now. Swelling is far less and everything seeming to begin to fall into place.  At this point I am focusing on the lumps and scars. Trying to massage them at least two times per day. Scars still pretty red and noticeable. They are somewhat symmetrical, so you can definitely tell that they are not there from natural occurrences! No pictures this week, as there is not really much difference than last week. I will post more next week!!!

 Day 21- Weight is down only about one lb., and the measurements are about the same as they were last week...no big change in numbers, but the pictures look so different I think. I guess it's because I seem to have had a lot of fat in my upper abs and I didn't measure there (only my lower abs, which are down about 1.25 inches). My clothes feel very different, and I feel as though I can wear lots more now. I stopped wearing my garment 24/7, and went a few days without wearing it.  I noticed that the lumps seem to get worse and so does the swelling, so I'm keeping on as much as I can. I have this hard ridge above and below my belly button, which feels very strange. I'm a little nervous about it and hope it goes away! The soreness is still there, not pain, just sore. I did return to running this week (with my garment). I was afraid that it would be painful, but it wasn't at all. I will post pics yet again....It's getting a bit much, but I think the pics are different from last week, so I will post.
