29 Yrs Old In Need of Renewed Self Confidence (After 3 Children, Including Twins) - Ellicott City, MD

Decided to post some pics....My Husband was available to take some pics and I was up to it. They are definitely amazing before and after pics....Im in aweee of the results. I cant imagine things getting better with reduced swelling. Im waiting to see what happens with my "Love Handle" flank area, that was my main issue when this all started....but thus far im very happy with my results. Just ready to get back to normal....normal sitting, standing, working, exercising, cleaning, hanging out, sex etc...Just ready to be back to the normal me.

Im about 4 1/2 weeks PO today and I returned to work two days ago....I don't think my job Is too hard, but it's been very draining not being able to do the things I can normally do. I literally go to work with my shoes untied (Nurse). I am so very stiff and extremely tired at the end of the work day, so ready to be back to my normal self. Im not updating any pictures at this point because I feel like nothing has changed other than I feel even more swollen (almost as if im gaining weight in my midsection versus getting smaller.) But im just waiting to get better, feel better and look better. Still wearing my Compression garment and Abd binder and just never feel comfortable. Im starting to have a lot of aching and sharp shooting pains throughout my back and near all my lipo sights. Im beginning to wonder if I will be up to doing anything for NYE!

I'm now 19 technically 20 days PO and every time I take my relaxing shower at night I do tons of looking and examining in the mirrors (I know we all do that!) I can finally see the swelling going down in my back and love handle area (its so exciting!!!) Sorry I couldn't get any pictures this evening didn't feel like putting on undergarments etc...But I can definitely see the change and I'm so happy. Last night was the first night I was able to put on my garment and binder all by myself my husband no longer has to help (and he's quite relieved, poor baby is tired.) My PS has me putting this foam piece on my back and love handle area under my compression garment so that's why it was so difficult to resume my layers after showering. I'll see my PS again on Monday 12/7/15 and ill be exactly 3 weeks PO, I'm anxious to hear what his next set of instructions are for me at this stage i.e my activity level, scar treatments, this foam piece that's getting on my nerves etc... I'm just wondering if ill be able to enjoy NYE with my husband this year without being sore and be able to get dressed up as usual without terrible swelling???? I'm scared to buy any new clothes since I don't know what size ill be wearing yet I guess. I go back to work Tuesday 12/8/15, I really could've probably went back about a week ago, I'm a nurse but my work isn't that vigorous. I'm glad to return to work, kind of getting cabin fever.

Thanks for Listening
Good Night
