Realself reminded me to update today....... It's been a month since surgery. It has gone SOOOO Fast! Breast lift, implant and lipo. I took pics today but personally, I don't see a whole lot more change since 3 weeks. I hope these aren't my final results. I took measurements and my knees are the same size, thighs, I've lost about an inch on each.

Waist (3-4 inches) and lower belly (4ish inches) are the most dramatic. I'm fitting in to size 10-12 jeans down from 14. With the surgery I can fit in to about 7 pairs of jeans I haven't worn in about 5 years. (Yes, they're classic so the style works.... ;) )

I have been lacking motivation to walk as much as I wanted. I inteded to go every day but have only been walking 2x's per week. Perhaps I go tomorrow then every day forward? I'm tired really and I can tell. But eating has been FANTASTIC though. Always been a decent eater since losing all the weight 15 years ago. But I'm down on the scale 6-8 lbs since my surgery day depending on the day and time of weighing. Though if I eat *anything* with sodium, FORGET IT. I'm easily up 5 lbs overnight. Yuck. Buhbye take out Chinese food probably forever. I am very proud of how I have been eating. I didn't fall off track on that at all...

I see some little changes in the pics but nothing worth posting. Perhaps I'll post at 6 weeks after my next follow up appointment.

I have a stage 2 garment on order from Marena. My original one is toooooo big and slides down about 6 inches! LOL. I hope to have it by the weekend as the flexies and spanx aren't giving me comfortable support like the garment.

I feel rather comfortable except for my numb/sore knees and lower back. Everything is still a bit swollen and tender. I stretch every day which helps a lot! And scars are healing nicely. Massages are helpful but I need a little more than lymphatic now.... The pain of the surgery was NOT that bad at all....... But I was putting lotion on my lower back yesterday though and just rubbed some lumps the wrong way and OUCH! But it was gone quickly....

I cannot say WORTH IT yet... still thinking about it. From her forward, it is all on me now to keep what I have paid for! Get to the gym and walk walk walk :)

Changed my name to Deserveit! Just felt more right ;)

Went ahead and took 3 week pics tonight vs. in the AM. I love that the horrible bruising is mostly gone. But everything is still lumpy to touch. Swollen. I see no difference in the knees and the thighs - there is an inch smaller in the thighs but my knees are actually bigger. All the fluids pool there perhaps? My flanks are still very lumpy bumpy and so is my lower belly. I have lost around 10 inches between my waist and my thighs though. So... Sometimes the pics don't really show it but the measurements do.

It is hard to be patient! But things are lookin' good. I just hope my thighs and my knees catch up! I'll be really annoyed if I don't see some changes in the next 3 weeks.
