I can't believe I haven't updated for this long! on the other hand I feel like I am not getting anywhere. I don't want to wear this binder or these spanx or cg's. I am starting to get back to the gym which is nice but it feels like to much work switching from my cg to my binder then back again to head back to work. I guess I just want to be normal. I don't feel normal, I can exercise like normal. going to the bathroom even takes extra time to fasten everything back up. I guess I am just a little down today...

Maybe you could get some shape wear that just goes around your mid section. That's what I use. It make s bathroom trips much less complicated! I totally understand having down days! This is definitely a crazy process! I hope you feel better!

Had my final follow up yesterday. all is well! they checked for fluid but found none. it was just swelling. she told me to start soaking in the tub to help break up the hard tissue from the lipo. this darn cough/cold just won't go away! I've had it for a little over a week now. its getting old. I even broke down and took a pain pill last friday to help me relax and fall asleep. my body hurts from coughing. She said I can switch to spanx type garmet which I have2. but even tbhough I am starting to HATE this binder I ccan't get myself to go without it. that's all I got for an update. pretty uneventful which is a good thing!

I think I will just leave it as is. when I wear my swim suit nobody will know that underneath is nothing. they will think there is more to it. leave it to their imagination! lol
