29yr Old, Mother of 1, Lipo on Upper & Lower Abs Plus Flanks - Dallas, TX

Days running into each other. Not many drastic changes still small improvements as my skin is still tightening and I'm still a little swolllen. Good thing is no more lumps and bumps but I do get massages almost every other day and will start to stretch those to every 3 days. Pain is gone just some itching still on my flanks area and slight skin sensitivity. Progress!

Started working out nothing too major just cardio and will be starting some strength training as well. Definitely listening to my body. Keeping up my water intake and eating good for the most part but I have been slacking on my vitamins.

Still been wearing my compression garment daily however I've ditched my white binder and replaced with my black latex Columbian waist trainer which is so much better since the white binder kept creasing

In a couple days I'll have my 6 week follow up appointment and will do a mini update at that time

Time seems to be passing kind of quickly as I have manage to make it thru 3 weeks post op. Yay me! What Ive noticed most in my healing process is the skin tightening and actually feelin it tighten throughout the day. Im also still swelling as the day progresses which can be a little irritating but hey really can't do anything about that except continue my water intake and limiting salt intake.

Oh not sure if anyone else is going through this but the slight burning sensation that is ovwr in amatter of seconds I now get when I move or turn to fast very noticeable in my flanks area. Ima chalk it up for now to the skin tightening and healing process.

I haven't increased my workout regimen and will be starting tomorrow to walk on treadmill for an hour and then in next few weeks add in strength training. Slightly excited lol but for now im taking things slowly and listening to my body.

I'm still doing the massage not daily but every other day at this point since I'm not really getting as many lumps or knots that I was experiencing my first 2 weeks.

I'm still wearing my garment all day and my white binder at night and then every few day I wear my ab lipo board when I sleep. I don't wear lipo board long since it's still leaving impressions in my skin which I hate. :(

Other than that I'll be coming up on my 4 week post op on Thursday. Almost 1 month down can't wait till I'm 6 mos post. They say results get better with time.

For now here are some pics of my first 3.5 weeks post op

Pic update only.
