Ladies Lifted -4 weeks post op

4 weeks post op in two days. The swelling has gone down almost completely if not all the way. I have been dealing with a staple that has poked through the surface under my boob. It has been annoying and at times hurts a bit. PS said I could pull it out if it came to the top....well it wouldnt pull out or push in so....this sounds wierd but I took my razor and shaved the point off! Oh man does it feel better! My lipo is feeling much better...I would think it should after 4 weeks but holy [RS bleep] that hurt for the longest time. Not all the scabs are gone yet, that will take a few more weeks too. I have been wearing a very soft bra while my incisions healed but while working out I need more support so guess I will try my sports bra over the top of the comfy one. I still have numbness and swelling in those places. Haven't slept on my tummy for 8 weeks...and I am an avid tummy sleeper! I think the habit is broken:)

Swelling sucks! I did take off my cg to go to the gym today. I sweat like a cage fighter so was not going to wear cg to workout. I rode recumbant bike for 15 minutes,the spin bike uphill for 5 and walked on treadmill for 1.5 miles. I also picked raspberries and came home to make 2 pies, minus the crust because I am gluten free and Whole Foods makes it for me....freezer section:) I will rest for a couple of hours and wear my garment until the gym tmrw. My "who ha" is lopsided, one side is bigger and I hope that means its just more swollen on that side:/? This is nothing new post surgery but now it has started to worry me. I need to give the swelling more time. Sleeping has been pretty darn good, nothing hurts when I roll over anymore but if I stay on one side too long my hip aches. Sex is gooood:) Less getting in the way:) Both tummy and the "who ha"!

14 days post op. Went to see my PS for a check up today. He was very pleased at how well I did through all this:) He didnt like the shape of one of my areolas, so said he could revise that down the road. I do agree with him but wasnt sure that it was important to me so I will see later. He answered what the bump under my rt boob was....a dissolvable staple. He said it may poke through the skin and if so pull it out. He said thats how he put me back together, with all those staples. The bumpy tissue were he lipo'd is just going to take time but said I could massage/roll it with a rolling pin to smooth it out. Addressing the dry skin, he said its from all the swelling and contracting of the skin. It is in places that didnt have any work so I also think maybe its from stress, trauma, medicine, drugs....etc? He also told me that I could get back to the gym!!!!!YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! He told me no bootcamp for another month or so but arm and leg resistance training and cardio is ok. I just want to wait one more week so that I dont have to wear my cg to workout in.PS will see me in 6 more weeks for check up.
Put on a compression garment that was a size smaller last night before bed and I woke up with fluid filled feet and ankles :/ I think its too tight:) Back to the old one for now.
Went to see my gym buddies today. I havent seen them for three weeks and they couldnt believe the improvements in swelling and had very nice compliments:)
Today when I was walking into the post office my boobs were bouncy and perky, not heavy and imbarassing....I was smiling the whole time that I was running errands today.....did I mention that I love my new boobs? :)
