I have made it to the Flat/swollen side -Birmingham, AL

I'm posting my 4 week pics. I am starting to feel like a normal person again. Although I do get swollen by the end of the day. I still have trouble sleeping in the bed. My sides hurt from the lipo so I can only stay on one side for about an hour. I still prefer to sleep in the recliner. I hope everyone is doing well.

I am 17 days post op. I got the stitches out of my belly button 2 days ago and I am happy with how it looks. I still haven't seen my incision, it has tape on it that hasn't come off, the doctor said it should come off in the next 2 to 3 weeks. I am anxious to see what it looks like underneath. I posted my 2 wk pics but I look bigger than I did in the 10 day pics. I am a little discouraged but I know I won't see the end result for a while. I am obviously still dealing with the swelling so maybe I just chose a bad time to take the pics. Still better than my pre-op pics :)
We went out to dinner with friends Friday night and ended up doing a lot more walking than I thought I would, I was hunched over like an old woman before the night was over. I have been paying for that all weekend. Lots of swelling and muscle cramping. I know a lot of people are going back to work at this point. How much activity is average at this point.
Hope everyone is doing well and seeing results!!!!!

I took some new pics this morning hoping to see some non- swollen results. I am really sad after seeing them. They don't look much different to me.
