Back in my normal jeans! - New York

Back to walking my usual routine, and I am starting pilates on Tuesday. Both my CGs were in the wash Friday morning so I went to work with nothing and damn if I didn't do just fine! 6 weeks PO in two days and I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have some swelling I would like gone but I feel good and I can wear stuff that I couldn't since the TT so I am happy. I knew I wouldn't go down a size cuz PS didn't do lipo, just the saggy gut is gone but I look lots better and my clothes fit/hang better. VERY VERY VERY happy!

The sound was so loud even my husband heard it! You should have seen the look on his face! It didn't hurt but omg it was a loud kind of pop/twang sound. My PS checked me yesterday because I was a little sore afterward and I have a spot next to my BB that keeps getting a charleyhorse; the muscle either contracts into a knot or ripples which feels very weird. Anyway, he said it was a quilitng stitch that broke which he puts in to prevent seromas and since it's not permanent he's not surprised it gave out. No harm done, and I don't have to go back until March for my 3 month visit. They took my "after" pics, too. He said I'm doing great. Still swollen, and tire easily, but back to normal life for the most part. Just thought I'd share in case someone else breaks a MR stitch...

I feel so swollen and uncomfortable but when i take the CG off the only part of me that really looks swollen is my lower back on each side (wtf, is that from lying around for a month?) and right under my bb, above the scar. I tried on a couple work dresses and the tummy area looks flatter than before, (thank god) but i sure don't feel thinner. I was sure I had a seroma last night; we went to a movie and I felt something move in my abdomen, kind of like a rippling movement under the skin but when I checked under the CG in the bathroom there was no waterbed-like ripple. It's done it a couple more times since. Maybe a muscle spasm or something? Anyway, I feel so much thicker than before the TT. My PS is going to tell me I don't have to wear this CG anymore after one more week but god if I feel this thick now won't it be worse without the compression? I wish I knew when I would start to feel like I am sexy and not a sausage. I haven't started workouts yet because I'm sooo tired after working all day. This has truly been a rollercoaster of emotions so I guess tomorrow will be a happy day, huh? :0) Hangin in there...
