PMS

WORTH IT$11,000
So this is my first bout of PMS since the surgery. Had a craving for Thai food and I am so painfully swollen I don't know what to do! Everything hurts... Gained three pounds just today and it shows. No fun! I feel so gross I hope this us over soon. Hopefully it won't be like this every time.

My cycle about week 9 was like that. I try to remember to take my vitimans, esp zinc to get back to normal. I figure it must be from the trauma of surgery..

At this point, my swelling has improved quite a bit. I'm able to walk straight, sleep much better, and take care of the kids on my own. There is still some swelling down low, and I can't feel the lipo areas. My bb is looking clean, but I'm surprised how stiff the scar is. It's not like a natural feel that's for sure. I'm using mederma 3xs a day on the scars along with bio oil on the surrounding areas to keep moisturized. My scar is coming along nicely but still has some raised areas and redness. I may switch to silicone strips soon.

You look great! Your abs look similar to mine. (Not saying I look great, but I think my ps did a bang up job). I dont mind telling other women of similar physique I "cheated" with the TT. If they have kids I'm sure they understand. And even if they dont I'm not gonna care. I kinda hope to find someone thats had one in the flesh! Just like the fake boob argument, they're still boobs, dudes dont care. Flat tummy is still a flat tummy even if I did buy mine. But your right your mum prob shouldn't have offered personal info... My scar is tight still. I dont rub it like I should.. So hard to find the time to oil up.. Happy healing!

Ur right, we do look similar. You are looking awesome btw! I'm oiling up constantly!!! I feel like it's all I can do to improve things. I need to get back in the gym ASAP before I ruin the whole thing you know what I mean?

Tummy is super flat and the scar is nicely hidden in a bikini. Swollen some still in places but I'm really happy with my results! Worth it!

I see you got the maria E with the longer legs ..so smart!! I have the shorter legs and it hurts so much i have to take it off. Also you will feel soo good when you go down to the smaller closures its a great feeling! You look great happy healing hun!

Thank you, I really like it! However, for some reason my torso hurts after I wear it... I may have to heal a little more before I can use this one regularly.

Yes me too I wear mine for a few hours during the day which usually ends with me running into a public bathroom and dis-robing LOL! but its extreme compression! if you don't have anything else get a Marena comfort wear they are smooth no clips or zipper im still wearing mine get an XS because they do give after a month.
