I am now 5 weeks out today and I feel great. My only "issue" is that I have a lump on my hip from the lipo, but massage is really helping and it's already smaller. I am 3 lbs under pre surgery weight and down a pant size!!

I keep thinking how in one short week I will get to go back to working out! I drive by someone jogging and I get jealous, lol. But I can feel my muscle tone is not what it was and it makes me sad. I worked hard for that! I set a goal of losing 10 lbs by Hawaii the first week in January. I would be okay with losing 15, but I feel that 10 is quite reasonable.

And I will post pics as always!

You look great, we are about the same PO time, I am 6 weeks and 2 days. I just had my appt today and was cleared to start exercising and not wear CG or 24 hour a day sports bra. I feel so nervous about getting back in the swing of things, have you started exercising yet? If so, are you noticing more swelling & do you wear your CG while you exercise?

Wondering if you are happy you did lipo too I am considering doing this with breast augmentation but read about being swollen off and on for a year and gaining back weight in weird places

I am terrible at updating!

But I am 3 1/2 weeks PO and feeling normal. I went back to work (a server in a bar) and I felt fine. No pain meds needed!!! All my clothes are too big, but I saw my PS on Thursday for a lump on my side from the lipo and he said that I still have a lot of swelling and I will go down a lot more. But he said I am looking awesome.

My breasts are so nice and soft now, and I think my belly button is going to look amazing when it heals. I have to say I am 100% thrilled with everything


And my new pics are from 3 weeks and 1 day PO

Your pics look so good!!! I'm also 3 weeks post-op, but my incision doesn't look anywhere as nice as yours is! Are you using anything special on it? Glad you're healing so well!!!

So here I was yesterday crying on how big I felt. So my husband told me to have a few drinks and "flush the water out" last night. (BTW, this is cause my personal trainer told me that there was a study done on how a night of drinking actually will flush out water that accumulates in your fat cells when the fat has left) So I had a 6 pack of Mike's to drown my sorrows (not on pain meds anymore don't worry, lol) and I woke up and "felt" smaller. SO I stepped on the scale. Bam, pre surgery weight! And I tried on a pair of jeans.... They fit! Loosely even! So I went through every pair. All fit. So I figured it's the spanx right? Nope. They fit BETTER without! Even my skinnies that I had to wear for a bit to loosen up to get comfy were perfect or loose!


I might freaking cry I am so happy!!!
