4 Weeks

Today marks four weeks. My swelling looks like it's at its peak.....or at least I hope so because it's pretty bad right now! I don't know if it's because I feel better and I'm more active, the reduction in wearing the spanx to only at night, my diet, or something completely different. Other than that, my incisions look great. Breasts look great. A friend saw me for the the first time since the surgery and it was the first thing she noticed. My left breast is looking a little larger but I believe it's due to swelling. The liposuction areas are still sore and tender and I have some hard spots. Bruising is fading finally. Stomach is still tight but I can stand upright. Bending over or other sorts of movements are kind of tough still. I can sit up from bed with the help of grabbing under my knee and pulling up. Sometimes I feel "normal" other times I don't. All in all, I'm getting there. Slowly but I'm in better shape I was four weeks ago!

3 weeks

3 weeks today! I feel pretty good. I have a few sore spots still from the liposuction. My abs feel pretty good now. I can sit up in bed, sneeze, cough, move around without that horrible pain. It just feels as though I had an intense ab workout the following day so nothing too bad. I can finally sleep on my side comfortably again! I can stand pretty straight but as the day progresses I start to loose that and I swell up as the day progresses as well. I'm still little slow in my walking and bending down to lets say pick something up off the floor. Still swollen of course. I saw my surgeon yesterday, she said everything looks good and to see her again in two weeks. I was given the go ahead to loose the spanx during the day if I wanted too and to wear it at night. Breasts look great. I have to say, I never had a problem with them. No pain, no nothing. A little swelling on my left side under my arm but no real pain. They are a little tender as of now but again nothing terrible.......feels almost like they would before or during my period. Other than that, all is great! I will update with photos when I can but everything pretty much looks the same right now.

Pushing the whole bathing suit thing but I think I may just be able to pull it off once I'm healed!
