WORTH IT$7,000
I weighed myself this morning and I gained 4 pounds. It may not sound like much, but to me it's a lot. I've been eating a lot of bread lately. The cheatings have got to stop.

No Support....

Today I decided to try and go the day without any type of support. No Spanx, shapwear or CG of any kind. I'm not sure if there's a way this needs to be done. For me it was not comfortable. Not only did I feel weird, I felt tingling inside. By the time I got to work my sides and my back began to ache. By the end of the day I noticed a bulge above my belly button area. I don't know if this is fluid. I couldn't wait to put my CG back on. We'll see what happens in the morning.

Going without compression takes some getting used to. I am only 4 weeks post op but at 3 weeks my doc said that I could go without it of I wanted. I do swell more without it and sometimes by back hurts. I wonder if all the compression makes our core muscles weak?

I have my pre surgery posture back. And I have the speed back in my step. I can't wait until the weather gets warmer so that I can get back to the park and start walking again. I miss my outdoor walks. It's not the same on the treadmill.
The incision healed nicely. I was originally using Mederma per my ps. I've been using Scaraway for 4 weeks now, but the area around the incision is still so dark. I guess only time will tell.
Swollen more than usual today because it is the weekend and I always cheat on the weekend. Pizza was my enemy today. Still wearing my CG when I'm home and to sleep. I'm getting a little tired of wearing it, but I know it helps.
Loving my shape and I love the way I look. The mirror is not such a bad thing anymore. This is the best investment I have made on myself.
Blessings and happy healing to all.
