Hey guys! I know I've been horrible with updating, sorry! It's been going well I'm just waiting on more results, I know it will take time...Got a lifetime fitness membership over the weekend and started walking and its going good. I'm not sure if its from the surgery or just eating better but I feel like my metabolism is faster, which is very good! Does anyone know if this could be true or if I'm just imagining things? lol

You look fabulous! I have noticed my appetite has decreased since the surgery... Maybe bc I'm full of liquid still I'm not sure lol.

Had my pre-surgical appointment over the weekend. Met with the nurse (Christine) who has a lot of good reviews online, as well as my doc. A lot of people say she's very sweet and helpful, makes them more at ease...I personally didn't feel any warm vibes from her during my apt. She was kind of all about telling me what was going to happen the day of surgery real quick and then asked me to basically sign my life away on all the forms. I don't know if she was having a busy day or whatnot but I really hope she's a little more supportive the day of my surgery. She suggested taking iron pills so I got on them right away....10 days until my big day!

Thank you! :)

Good luck girl! I just had quite a bit taken out on march 25 and I'm still recovering. I would also suggest the armeca gel- it's good for your skin and is soothing going on. My appetite actually increased after the surgery (apparently my bodies way of trying to recover from all the fat sucked out), but I would suggest eating as light as possible. I was starving but I was also constipated (even with tons of laxatives and stool softeners) for 5 days. I would suggest eating lots of fiber, and try eating small every couple of hours. I used frozen peas as ice packs and it helped with swelling. Lastly I would suggest purchasing a comfortable spanx tank- not too tight. The garmet is very uncomfortable around your skin (and caused a rash on me) so I now wear it over my spanx tank. Best of luck!

Wow, ur only 8 days out! That's awesome...Your before and afters look great, especially the side profile. I'm gonna make sure I eat light and staying with my mom wont help but I'm sure she won't stuff anything down my throat since I'm getting a procedure like this lol. The forzen peas is already on my list of "to gets" :) Wearing the spanx under the garmet is a really great idea, I have always had sensative skin in the first place. Thanks so much, I'll keep you updated :)

My surgery is scheduled for April 25 lipo and breast augmentation. I'm a repeat offender w/ the breast augmentation so I understand the recovery for that I'm just worried about the pain of both. I go for my pre- op appointment on Friday (April 5th). I'm having the procedure done in Troy, MI too! Good luck to you! I'm going to get my arnica tablets and gel today. It seems to b a godsend for this procedure!
April 2, 2013
Finally, someone local! Where are you going to get the tablets and gel from? I think theres a whole foods on maple and crooks, might stop there after work and go get them today too. Good luck to you too!

Exactly 1 week until my surgery. I'm still super excited but want to be calm about it. I keep wondering "what if it doesn't work?" "What if I don't see any results?" I really hope this works for me...I really need to stay positive.
April 4, 2013
Don't worry, it WILL work. :) I just went in for my two week check up and my doctor said I will continue to see improvement over the next three months. He said some days will be better than others, swelling will sometimes be in one place and then in another, some days will be not a lot of swelling then others will be a lot. So don't get discouraged while you go through the recovery process. Final results won't be seen until months later. Hang in there and eat right, sleep good, drink lots of water and you will be so happy!!!

Also, my doctor said Pineapple juice is an anti-inflammatory. :)
April 5, 2013
Thanks for the kind words and advice...I'm trying not to get discouraged! Thinking positive lol...and yes, I've heard of the pineapple trick, I'll deff be picking some up.

Took measurments on the areas I'm getting done. *Upper abs- 24 *Lower abs- 48 *Hips- 47 1/2 *Thighs- 29 (each) Putting it on here so I can refer back to this in about a month or 2 when I take measurments again to compair...hope there will be a signifigant difference!
