Swelling ...

So I'm still swelling a lot. And it's still uncomfortable. I'm not nearly as small as I was in the few weeks post op. I wear my CG when I'm home but can't bare to wear it to bed even though I know I should. It's just so uncomfortable and the zippers are painful and I just can't get sleep when I wear it.
I walk daily and have started cycling again. I did 8 miles in the mountains. I swelled like crazy after that. Healing from this seems so contradictory. You want to move and exercise to be healthy, lose weight, and feel good but the opposite happens and you swell, look terrible and it hurts. If you do nothing and lay around like a couch potato the swelling goes down and you feel and look better. I wonder if inactive and sedentary people heal faster then active people. Like, in the long run; are they much happier with their results and do they have better results. In the end (12 months out) do we all heal the same? I know we are all different but still can't help but wonder.

Early on the doctor told me I could wear the second stage garment for 12 hours a day until the scans came off. I regret that I did so. I had lumps and hardness and personally link that to not wearing CG 24/7. Maybe I am wrong but that is how I feel. These issues are resolving themselves at three months. I still have puffy days and will continue wearing my binders. I really think CG are essential.

So it's been about two months now. I've been wearing various spanx during the day and nothing at night for a little while now. I have a lot of swelling. A LOT. And the swelling is painful. I'd say about a 2 or 3 at all times and a 4 or 5 when I bump, press, or push on it.
So I've started wearing my surgical compression garment in the evenings again. It's helping a little. I hope to get rid of the swelling soon because of the discomfort and because I don't like what I see in the mirror right now. That and I'm terrified that it's not swelling and the fat somehow moved back in to where it was sucked out. I know that's illogical but it still scares me.
That's about it for now.
