Smart Liposuction for Male--Performed This Afternoon!

I'm updating the side by side pictures, with the third frame in each reflecting Week 1.  I still feel great and haven't taken a pain reliever since the last update.  I'm still walking, on average, about 5-10 miles a day.  I'm starting to itch a bit more, which is just a sign of healing--nothing unbearable.  Hope everyone is having a nice holiday!

Hi gang.  It's the morning of Day 4, and I'm feeling fine.  I only got to walk about 3 miles yesterday due to the poor weather--but perhaps that is good, so as not to over-exert myself.  I've been absolutely pain free with only mild discomfort (same as yesterday), only I did not take any Tylenol w/ codeine.  I've noticed a tad bit more swelling (to be expected), but am absolutely not allowing it to discourage me.  The back and sides are remarkably unswollen (or just slightly)--it's mostly the small portion on my abs (and the area surrounding it) that was suctioned that seems to me swelling the most.  But like I said yesterday, I've ready in multiple places that this is common, too.  Today also marked my first day back to work--8 hours walking, sitting, bending over to file some things, reaching up high to take a few things off the tops of shelves, etc.  I'm trying not to do too much because I don't want to agitate anything, but I'll stop if I feel even the slightest discomfort (and I am doing things at a slightly slower pace, too, just in case).  I spoke with one of my nurses today who advised me NOT to attempt any type of massage just yet--she said I should allow it to begin healing on its own first.  I don't know that this is truly accurate (in order to prevent hardness/unevenness), but I'm going to go ahead an listen to her.  Also, per jamieileana's request, I've posted a side-by-side of the back** and taken down some of the individual photos.  I have to let the Real Self team delete some of the others before I can upload the other side-by-sides, as there is a 20-pic maximum (hopefully by this afternoon I can post the others).  **Please note that they are from Before, Day 1, and Day 3 (no Day 2). Keep the questions coming--and anyone is more than welcome to contact me personally should you wish.  I'll update again soon!

Just wanted to get the other side by side photos up, and they require 50 words every time you update; so I apologize for not having much to say at this point.  It is the middle of Day 4 and I am feeling great however!  Still no pain or bruising--just minimal swelling.
