Blah day 17 days post
Well today is my day that i have seen others talk about on Realself...its the day where I am not feeling too sure about my surgery decision -___- My body is doing weird things the last couple of days. I have some weird bulges and hard marks...and today my back looks mad weird IDK it could just be my mind but i am not feeling cute today AT ALL blah. I haven't tried on regular clothes (I have been wearing yoga pants) so i don't know how my body has changed. I was really confident about being bikini ready but today not so much. Also I started my Adipex today so far so good...I am feeling a little wired but nothing too bad. I feel like I drank coffee with a double shot not shaky...but just really hype. Hopefully this mini emotional hump will pass soon its kinda...actually really annoying. I just want to be happy with my body and not be over here second guessing my decision that I was once so sure about. Anyway here are some pics. I had some people ask about my foam so here is a picture of the packaging it came in. This foam is super expensive like $900 my doctor gave me 4 pieces of it. They do come in handy my only complaint is the adhesive on one side irritates my skin and rubs off. So I have rubbed all of the adhesive off (think about when you were a kid and put glue on your hand and rolled it in a ball...I am not the only one that did that am I?) after doing that I haven't had any problems. I have seen other foam on Ebay and Amazon a lot cheaper...named lip foam. Also my garment is by Design Veronique (zippered torso brief) both the foam and the garment were provided by my doctor who performed the surgery. i am looking for someone in Georgia to do a massage for me...I had my surgery done in Michigan because of the great referral to Dr. Wolf but I don't live there...if anyone knows of a place I would love a recommendation. Hope this answers some questions. Happy Monday Real Self Family xoxo
2 weeks already?!
I had my surgery 2 weeks ago!! Time goes by crazy fast and I am finally seeing some results especially in my back. I am still hard in areas and puffy but the pain and discomfort I had a couple of days ago is gone thankfully. The foam I am using really helps minimize the dents and marks in my skin so I am going to continue using it (my doctor gave me a fresh batch at my last follow up) and I am hoping that it will cut down my healing some and I will be bikini ready by the 22nd of July for my trip :)...I honestly miss the gym and I hate the gym but I am ready to get up and mobile. Also I am having my doctor prescribe Adipex to assist me with my weight loss goals. I guess I will do more research on this site to see if anyone has had any results. Also thank you to everyone that comments and offers support! I really appreciate it. Happy healing Real Selfers! :)
10 days post Swollen Pics
Here are a couple of pics I am super swollen and you can see that in the pics. I know this is a part of the healing process but I am ready to get over this hump for sure.

Dr. Wolf is great! Very personable and made me feel very comfortable.
