Two weeks post-op
I can't believe it's already been two weeks since my procedure. I'm feeling a lot better. First, I'm actually getting used to wearing Spanx all the time (even in 120 degree heat). I've also been doing some speed walking around the track at the gym until I can really start my workout again next week. This is the first week when I really feel like I can move around without pain. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore when I lean over, and some of the feeling in my abdomen is returning.
A lot of my swelling has gone down. My stomach and flanks are a lot thinner. As you will be able to see from my photos this week, the left side of my stomach is still more swollen than the other side. One thing I've noticed is that my inner thighs didn't begin bruising until after about a week in. They're still pretty tender to the touch, and I am having some of the hard, sore, lumpiness that some other people have spoken about when healing from this procedure. I think I'm probably going to try massage and endermologie treatments, which are said to help aid in the healing process. I have been using coconut oil on the scars a few times every day, and they have really started to fade. They're not really noticeable unless you're looking for them. I'm curious to see whether some swelling will return once I really start exercising again, but I hope not. I'm happy with how things are progressing, knowing that I won't really be able to see my full results for 4-6 more months.
