Progressing Great!! Swelling is a lot Better :-)
I'm excited to say..I'm feeling normal again. I'm still taking it easy as far as no lifting, bending or doing anything to strenuous. I'm feeling great no pain or soreness except when I sneeze :-( but I've actually found out how to stop a sneeze...(tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue) it really works....lol. Other than that...everything is going good. Swelling has been under control...I switched over to a compression 2 garment I ordered from Amazon. I also ordered an abdominal board. I wore it inside of my garment and when I took it off my stomach is really flat. So I don't know if it's the constant wearing of the compression garment, the abdominal board or the Bromelain pills...or a combination of all three...But It's Working for the swelling :-) I also called today about getting the lymphatic drainage massages...I've been reading about it and it seems to help after a tummy tuck of lipo suction. Happy Healing to everyone taking this journey with me!!

I took some pics today:-)
Today has been good. I actually woke up pretty flat. However I didn't sleep well last night, im starting to have a lot more back and incision pain. Its funny because I realized that I didn't take my Arnica tablets yesterday...so that may have something to do with it. The Arnica tablets are supposed to help with muscle soreness. I am taking Bromelian capsules....which is supposed to help with swelling. So overall I'm feeling great. Im still drinking my protein shakes and taking Vitamin C supplements and I think Im healing well. Happy Healing Ladies. .ttyl :-)

You look fantabulous! Remember to take it easy. It is very important to continue taking the Arnica as it assist with the swelling and bruising.

Hi sparkles! How much lipo did your ps do? Your waist is so tiny and looks so great! I've probably already said that, but had to again after admiring your pics :)

Thanks so much...you're looking great also!! I'm really enjoying this flat stomach!! I really don't know how much lipo was done...I was really hoping for a little more lipo on my love handles...I still have fat there...but the nurse said it may still get better because sometimes it can take months.
