I TotallyHot I totally went to my local Goodwill for comfy clothes in my earlier recovery days. Many of the items still had tags on them. How are you feeling how, do you like your results?

TotallyHot, Glad to hear you are feeling better about your results. Yes, I like the clothes I got from Goodwill. I bought things like PJ bottoms, loungers, and some nice robes. I found great t shirts too. After getting rid of the fat from my stomach it looks like I had an instant boob job! So I like my t shirts alot! The store was only a few months open so I got really nice items. I'm still wearing them. :) As far as pain for me, not so much. I still have slight soreness mostly around me BB. I still have swelling around my incision and it's still a little dark. I posted in my profile that my PS has still not allowed my to use the silicone for my incision yet because I have to have a revision a little over two weeks on my right hip because it's larger than the left hip. Otherwise I'm good. I swell after working out, eaten and when it's my monthly. I find that I need to wear my shaper during those times. Overall I feel good about my decision. :)

I'm feeling pretty bad today but trying to put in perspective why I did this in the first place and can't wait until I can feel at least 50% better but thanks Getabooty for your kind words and words of encouragement and prayers totally need them right now.

It will get better real soon. I couldnt even go on my computer until 2 weeks cause I was feeling so bad. Girl, I was like a newborn baby. I couldnt do nothing for myself. They had to dress me and bathe me because I was in so much pain. You will start feeling better real soon. You will see it and it will be all worth it in the end.
