4 weeks Post Op TT,MR,Lipo- Minneapolis, MN

I tried running.. did only a mile. Ran a quarter, walked a quarter, ran, walked....its a start. I am feeling good overall. Went on the boat over Labor Day weekend.. was ok except when hitting a wake. We mostly floated around. I stayed out of the water which was hard. Kept the incision covered etc.. too. Anyway, does anyone else feel like their butt is huge? Either its the swelling or they put the fat they sucked from lipo into my butt. I dont know.. I think I have the blahs.. tired of the swelling everytime I am active... I should be thrilled because the breadloaf is gone, but sometimes the process is slow. Ha.

Two Weeks: I feel great.. almost myself except for the damn swell hell. I am worried because there is a little puffy area above my scar on one side.. it came after a day of a lot of activity. Anyone else get this? Otherwise.. I am in my preOp jeans.. but I want to be in smaller jeans ladies... I'm so impatient! I just am not a sit still and wait person. I'm trying to take it easy and not overdo it but sheesh.

Day 10 Postop: I have been out and about a lot more... pain is gone except for a little tightness and sore in the lipo areas at times. I take a couple Ibuprofin as needed in evenings mostly. My back is not as sore, was a little sore in the evenings. I think it helps that I am sleeping more solid through the night now. Going to try to walk my 2 mile loop today... I'll turn back if it doesn't feel right! Ha. Swelling is better but I think swell will be hell off and on for awhile. Can anyone tell me when the bruising from the lipo will go away? It's so ugly haha. Both sides of my hip area is bruised. My bb looks good so far and natural, I was worried prior. TIP: They have some "shortie" compression type garments in Walmart of all places. They are cheap and are nice if you run out with shorts on and don't want to wear the longer body suit. Yes higher end stores have them too, but they are the same so why pay more for something you won't need in a few weeks/month.
