Praying for Great Results... - California

So it has been 42 days since my surgery and I am loving my results. I still have a little bit of swelling in my hips that is going away slowly but surely. I have maintained my eating habits and I have picked up my pace in exercise.

I'm starting to get happy again...My Dr. has been right on, and my swelling is starting to taper. Two co-workers today said how much smaller I looked, and one said she's getting jealous lol. The bruising is almost all faded. I received my stage 2 compression garment in the mail today. I have it on right now, its comfortable, and it fits like a glove. It feels better than the stage 1 garment because it's tighter. I ordered the Marena ComfortWear compression and support garment. It has a brief cut and stops right under your bra line so now I can wear tank tops without a big stage 1 garment arms showing. This one has bra straps. I still have been drinking a lot of water during the day, watching what I eat, but I haven't been for a walk in a few days. I think I will post pics soon....

So it is day 13. I finally got on the scale this morning, and even with the swelling I am down 6 pounds in a week. That makes me happy, but I hope my measurements drop once the swelling starts to taper? I wanted this procedure to lose inches and wear clothes that I haven't been able to, so I really hope my Dr. was right and I just have to be patient. I feel a little better everyday, but definitely swollen. I am still in my stage 1 compression garment 24-7 until my stage 2 arrives, which should be by tomorrow afternoon.
