Day 11
WORTH IT$18,000
Swelling is still bad but better than yesterday. I finally got the courage to try on the bathing suit I bought before surgery...not sure that I will ever wear it, but at least it fits!

Still dealing with lots of swelling
Had a day break in the swelling then it returned with a vengeance. Normally it's better in the mornings. Well not the last couple of days....then it hit me, my cycle started. Praying I don't burst at the seams this compression garment is no match for FLOW or TOM. Be glad when this plays out. Otherwise feeling pretty good. I rolled my hair and put on makeup today.

Ugh unfortunately the swelling can be so uncomfortable. I'm 10 weeks today and have been puffy the last couple days. Finally figured out that my period is coming today so even though it was getting better, it's no match for Aunt Flo lol! Glad to hear that you are feeling better besides the swelling :)
Thanks lady! Today was much better too! We have vacation scheduled for June 10, I'm just hoping it will be better by then.
Oh yes you'll def be better by then! Wait til you see, once you hit the one month mark, everything gets so much better!
Can't wait! Thanks for the kind words! Feels good to hear it from someone who's been there!
I'm sure your swelling is normal but sounds like it is just brutal! Is there anything your doctor suggested to help or you found to work better to provide some relief? Hope you're feeling better today!
Just the compression garment. Swelling is getting better by the day!

Sorry to hear you're feeling the effects of being so swollen! I'm sure this heat is not helping...
Thanks. It feels weird to be bigger coming out than going in! Messes with your had a bit!
Yes! I agree! It's like "I look way thinner than before surgery but how is it possible my pants are too tight to button?!"
Absolutely! Had my meltdown yesterday. Today's been a better day. Still weighing 8 pounds more than I did going in. I look flatter but thicker. It's tough!
Awe hope you have a better day tomm! I'm telling you most of that weight is prob swelling. I put on a couple pounds too but it came off and I didn't even try to lose it. My swelling has decreased so I think that's why I lost those couple lbs.
Thanks for the kind words! Tomorrow is gonna be a better day!
Sorry to hear about 'swell hell', I hope that will be behind you soon. It sounds like other than that, your recovery has been going well. Take care!
