Me With Clothes On??
Just thought I'd post a pic showing the way I look now to the non RealSelf crowd????.
I feel great not carrying around all that extra skin and jiggly muffin top fat!

9 Weeks Post TT and Liposuction
All is going well for me and I am back to all my normal activities. I am continuing to wear my support garment during the day and it feels good to have the gentle firmness around my abdomen. I still have some swelling and numbness but I am used to it by now. I can sleep comfortably in any position and my monthly full body massages are wonderfully relaxing and helpful.
I am very pleased with my emerging hour glass figure as I have never had one before. I have gone down one size in pants to a 10 and am thrilled. I still have some slight muscle tightness in my abdomen but it is not annoying, just something I notice now and then.
My weight has stabilized at 152 from a pre surgery weight of 165 and I feel comfortable at that weight. I still rely on my Fitbit app to log in all my food eaten (calories) and make sure it is less or equal to my calories out. I am back to 10,000 steps daily with 1hour active walks and this routine is now second nature to me and a normal part of my day. My stomach gets full faster as it is now "cinched in" and this helps keep my weight stable.
My incision is healing normally and I have added some photos of the beautiful surgical results of my extended TT and liposuction. Dr. Clark is a very skilled and talented surgeon and an artist to boot! I will be forever grateful for her amazing skills and her warm and caring nature.

3 week Post Op Update
Well, I am feeling better everyday and will resume my part time job this Friday. I still need a good nap every afternoon and since I only work 4 hour shifts 3-4 days a week I feel ready to get back to my normal life.
Swelling is still present and according to my nurse at Dr. Clark's, all is going very well with my recovery. I was given a silicone based scar gel at my 2 week checkup no old to start using it twice daily starting tomorrow.
I am walking regularly daily in the (cooler) evening after sunset and this is helping me get my strength and vigor back. A much needed full body massage (avoiding the abdomen) helped release all the tension in my shoulders and neck and spine. Now I can walk fully upright as long as I concentrate on keeping my shoulders back.
I was advised to change my post surgery compression garment as it was getting too loose on me. Yay! I found a wonderful garment made by Maidenform. It is a Flexees Women's Shapewear Wear Your Own Bra Torsette. I tried it on in Macy's and ordered it on Amazon Prime for a Nicky reduced price. The best thing about this garment is that it fits like a girdle meaning I can wear regular panties and the very wide slightly padded straps are great for keeping me walking straight up and shoulders back. It smooths and supports and snugs up my abdomen and all my liposuction sites ( there are lots). It stays in place perfectly and this is the first time I can remember that I am wearing a medium in any type of underwear!
I am continuing a low salt diet with lean protein ( low fat milk and yogurt and chicken and eggs) and whole grains, fresh fruit and veggies, and low fats. My coffee intake is much less as my taste for that is slow to come back and surprisingly, my sweet tooth is not active. I prefer sweet fruit instead and i found that juicy cold watermelon really hits the spot on our warm to hot summer days.
I am enjoying seeing my hour glass figure emerging and my flat stomach feels better everyday, except for the regular swelling in the afternoon.
Slow and steady wins the day so I am ready for incremental improvements over the next 3-4 months and even further in the future.
