My Experience Getting Coolsculpting

Soo long story short... I have gained 2 pounds since the 8 weeks mark...but that is still 5 pounds less than when I started yet my stomach still looks basically the same?? Although I did see progress in my lower abdomen at the 8week mark somehow little by little it came back? I’d like to point out the fat in my lower abdomen feels different to the touch and the best way I can describe it is that it’s heavy. I know it is not possible but I feel like the fat has clumped together? It is actually uncomfortable at times and I sometimes massage it vigorously for a few minutes in order to get relief. I am wondering if any of you who have gotten this procedure experienced the same? I’m also looking into liposuction, anyone get lipo after coolsculpting?

By this point I was weighing 158 at my home scale. Coolsculpting is in no way a weight loss surgery. So again this 7 pound weight loss I’m pretty sure was due to my diet. I had been weighing 158 since 5 weeks and had hit a plateau. I also had started to feel a weird feeling in my lower abdomen (the only area that had been treated) and that pouch I had was become harder?

Everyday my swelling went down a bit more. By one weeks My lower abdomen was no longer numb/bruised feeling but instead I felt an itch under my skin. By 2 weeks I felt 100% normal and was kind of amazed bc I was told not to expect to see any results until 6 weeks and then final results at 12 weeks. I must say I had completelyyyy changed my diet. I was counting calories (about 1,100 calories a day) and only drinking water tons of it. So I weighed myself at home it said I was 162. That is what they said my beginning weight was at the medspa but when I weighed myself at home on my cheap scale it said 165. Sooo I think part of the fast result was the fact I may have lost 3 pounds in those 2 1/2 weeks from dieting. I’m attaching photos of me after 2 weeks and 3 days.
