In the words of I'll Wayne..."I'm going in"

Ok, it has been two weeks since my surgery. I have had mixed emotions so far. Some days I think "oh I like my progress" and other days I think "what the what? No progress...my doc is a quack!" My two week follow-up went ok. Doc said I'm still swollen, of course, and I need not exercise and continue not to sit. My initial garment has become way too big and every garment I buy seems to have a vendetta against me...lol. They are cutting into my sides or too tight or not tight enough or cutting off circulation or just down right irritating! I continue to wear them however and continue to spend money on garments until I can find one that isn't trying to kill me in my sleep. As far as the booty, one day it looks bootyful and the next I'm thinking, "where did it go?" I might be going crazy over this dern surgery. The bromelin seems to help so I continue to take it. Still takin vitamin c too. I will post pics today.

Today, my swelling has gone down some more; it is day 4. I decided to switch my garment to one with the buttocks out but I am not sure if this is a good idea. Maybe someone can weigh in on this. Does the "butt-out" garment apply to much pressure to the surrounding areas of the buttocks and cutt-off circulation? Or, am I just a worry-wort? I posted a pic with the garment on...please let me know what you think. Also, my lower back and upper stomach are still swollen and tender to the touch so I am trying to wear a garment that will apply pressure to these places and hopefully reduce swelling. I feel like my first garment, which is a full body, down to the thighs is getting too loose. I will keep you all posted.

Ok, so it seems that some change is taking place. My stomach is still swollen some. I am hoping it will go down considerably more. My butt does have more shape than it did before but I just wish he had put in more fat so that when it absorbs there is still something left...you would think doctors would consider this. I found some Bromelin at the pharmacy yesterday! Maybe this will help with swelling. I want to know how everyone is getting their garments on and off if it doesn't zip or clamp on the side? I have one that clamps and then zips on both sides all the way down to the thigh, however, the garments I have that just clamp and zip from the waist up to the chest are very difficult to get into to. As a matter of fact, I can't get them past my thighs or my butt at all, although I could before surgery. Also, my elbows are already burned out and my neck feels like it has a crook in it. Sleeping is definitely a task. I have pics but for some reason I either have amnesia as to how to post them or that feature has disappeared! I will keep trying. Although I am not totally satisfied with my results, I have no plans on doing this again. It is too much of an inconvenience!
