So swollen!
WORTH IT
Today I was in a lot of pain on my sides, like a burning/ pulling sensation. It's super hard to drive my car because it's a Camaro and it sits super low and seat kinda hugs your body ( I never noticed before) plus I feel so stiff I have no range of motion. I had to drive around running errands and it really aggravated the pain and soreness. I had to lay down a take a pain pill as soon as I got home. Along with inner burning pulling sensation I have some really sore red marks cause by my Compression garment seams and hooks digging into my sides. I cut some lipo foam in half and added that to each side under my garment. It feels a lot better but now my body looks like a marshmallow! Oh gosh what a challenge getting dressed was today! I had to wear stretch pants and a giant tshirt and a kimono over that just to hide my crazy Fupa in these stretch pants LoL I went to a little boutique and bought a couple long prairie dresses for $20 each just so I had something to wear other than this crazy getup. It feels good to log into real self and vent a little every day, because I'm sure my hubby is over my whining by now! LoL

Day 3
Woke up so sore and swollen this morning ,I couldn't swallow a pain pill fast enough! I notice I'm far worse in the middle of the night or early morning . Just feeling so stiff and swollen like a sausage in a casing lol!
I was able to get up and shower and even do some minor household chores : dishes, a load of laundry, picked up my living room and even swept the house! I was exhausted after that and had to lay down for an hour afterwards, I get winded and tired so easily! It must be something to do with my body working hard to heal. My Compression garment is really digging into my sides an irritating one of my puncture wounds so I used an extra piece of foam that the dr gave me to pad my sides where the zipper and eye hooks are ....so much better! That foam is pretty awesome I recommend purchasing some from Contour MD if your DR doesn't provide it fits between your tummy and the garment and keeps things really smooth and flat. So far the hardest part of everything is all this down time! I'm sick of TV and laying around so much. I'm going to go for a walk around my neiborhood soon just to get out of the house and move around. I am gonna post a couple photos, I'm still very bruised in the flanks and especially right above my c-section scar where he had to suck out a lot of fat to try to smooth out my cooch- pooch. Haha! New word I just invented. Sorry I'm a dork ????

So flat! I love it! My garmwnt does the same thing. It's really annoying. Then it itches too! I spoke with my doctor today and he said I could use a waist cincher. It has a curve to it for that hourglass shape. I'm going to be wearing it over the CG. Since I have to wear something on my stomach 24/7, I figured why not? Thr only thing is it hurts to sleep with the cincher on at night. I don't see how girls waist train so aggressively! I know it works, but it takes years and I don't have the patience for all that lol. No corsette for me! But I'm hopeful that after wearing this CG and cincher over it for 6 weeks, I'll have an additional inch taken off plus the lipo :)

Thank you! We are gonna be two smoking hot mamas! what type of waist cincher are you wearing? That's an awesome idea. I would love to do the same. Is it a soft type or boned type? Could u please take a photo in it next time you update? I would love to see it!
I don't talk to my Dr again until Friday, I have a ton of questions for him!

Yes, I'll post some pics if it today. In 2 weeks, I think I'm going to have to go to an extra small when the swelling goes down a little more. The waist cincher I have is adjustable with hooks. I'll take a pic with it on and then I'll post a pic of it on Amazon where I got it from.

Your results look awesome!! You must be happy with the results so far. I know what you mean with the swelling around the back I've noticed the same thing. Imagine how great your results will be once all the swelling is gone :-)

Day 2! Removed My Compression Garment...
Feeling human again! Removed all poise pads. They were super heavy from so much fluid draining. It felt amazing to take them and the compression garment off and take a shower. Skin is super sore and sensitive to the touch and the little incisions from the cannula stung a bit from the soap and water. It looks like they are closed and healing for the most part. I think I'm done draining for the most part. I replaced the poise pads with small loosely placed band- aids over the incisions. I took a look at my waistline and love handle area, even though I am bruised, puffy and have indentions from my garment, I'm liking what I see so far! I'm trying to imagine the end result. I have a long road ahead but am excited for the final results. I know this is a long road to see your final result. No freaking out LoL!
I am still laying around watching Tv for the most part. I get up and pace in my back yard on and off all day just to speed my healing process and get fresh air. My last pain pill was at 5am and I'm feeling good still! So far so good :)

I forgot to add that I immediately put my compression garment back on after I took a photo. It actually feels better wearing it, it feels good and supportive.

Same here! I took mine off today to shower and my stomach actually feels so heavy! I think the swelling is way worse today than anything so far. Has your pain went down yet?

Same here! So swollen especially my sides. Feeling better today than yesterday but still taking pain meds first thing in the morning. Feeling pretty tender to the touch everywhere especially in the spot way above my belly button right below my boobs, super tender and sore!

Your results look great!! You must be so happy. I know what you mean about wearing your CG I feel weird when I'm not wearing it. I've found massaging myself in the shower and after with arnica cream that it is helping with both the bruising and swelling. Thanks for sharing your journey so far :-)

Not into my sides but a little at the top near my under arm. Can feel soooo tight when I'm having a 'could I be any more swollen' moments. My CG has eye/hooks on both sides and zippers on both sides keeps me straight and snugg lol
