Super swollen... still not happy with this bra fat! Can't tell if it's swollen or just left over fat but I'm definitely looking a whole or better! Can't wait to start working out!

Back to work!!!

Man what a week! Tuesday was really rough, I was so swollen and tired after working all day! I fell asleep each day no later than 8:30. By Thursday I was moving around much better. I'm feeling much better, moving around, standing up straighter. I'm no longer wearing my old compression garment. I bought and abdominal binder from Amazon and it's much more comfortable and helps with the swelling. It's simply too hot for the compression garment I was wearing before. I noticed that with each day things got a little easier. I'm hoping that Monday I can start some light cardio. The one bad thing about this week was my scar seem to be slightly annoying. I've been getting sharp pains here and there along with my incision line. Other than the swelling and the sharp everything is fine. I'm still not seeing the results that I want but I'm hopeful that it's because I'm still early and swollen. I'll keep you guys updated!

Today makes1 month and the swelling was so terrible today! While I definitely look better than before, I still wish I'd gotten more lipo done on my back as I still have the bra fat rolls. I'm eating clean, hiring a personal trainer and hoping that within 6 months the back fat will be gone. If not, guess I'll be going for round 2 of lipo???? I wish I'd lost about 10 pounds before the surgery. This is frustrating
