You look great. How are you feeling? Do you still have swelling and sore stomach muscles at this point?
My swelling is minimal mostly I notice at the end of day I really don't notice it. Mainly I realize I must have been swelled a little because in the mornings I always feel so much thinner and look it also the doctor said to give it a few months till swelling really stops. My muscles aren't really sore in my stomach until I started doing crunches I try to do like 60 a night. I just started my hard workout on Tuesday night. I'm definetely sore now my legs and butt. It's amazing I have been exercising now for 2 and a half years. 11 weeks off from training how sore I get now. I started walking 3 miles a day 12 days after surgery. I had the horizontal plus vertical cut. Before surgery I would walk 6 miles a day and weights. I really still want to tone up more always a work in progress but I am so thankful to be where I am now.
My stomach muscles hurt pretty bad when getting up from couch or bed still. My PS hasn't given me the ok to exercise yet but probably will this next Thursday at my apt. Only said I could walk at this point. Wow on your working out. I am getting anxious to get the ok to start working out. Want to tone up other areas that I am noticing more since my belly is gone. LOL Loving it and can't wait to go do some shopping when swelling stops. Almost all my clothes are to big now. Down 16 lbs from pre-op weight. Glad you are doing so well.
Wow that's awesome!!! I know I never realized how bad the top of my thigh were u til my belly was gone I have been doing leg exercises to help tone them I'm hoping by summer they will be more toned!!
I just looked at your pictures wow you look amazing!!! That's awesome!!!!!
Ah thank you. I am still amazed myself. I look in the mirror and I see my face and boobs but the rest doesn't look like me LOL. So weird to me still but I love it.

You look great! How are you feeling? How is the swelling? Are you back to full activity?
Thank you!!Yes I have been back to full activity for a while now I bet about 6weeks I felt pretty much like my old self !! I actually felt pretty good at 4 weeks but I would still get a twinge here or there. Mainly now I only get sore if I bump into somEthing on my hips were I had the lipo. But it just is a little tender but it goes right away.
you look great--do you still feel you have some swelling though?
Yes I do. I don't notice it until the next morning when I wake up and my stomach feels smaller it's more flat. I notice when I workout or long day at work I feel more swollen.

11 weeks!!!

Well hello!!! It's been a while. I am now 11 weeks out today. I am so happy I did this I have no regrets! Best decision I have made. I feel amazing. I love the way my cloths fit me now I'm nice and smooth. I love when I go to the gym now more flap hanging in my workout pants. It makes a huge difference in my self esteem!!! My leaking from my incision is all gone that stopped around 8 weeks they removed a popping stitch. I feel great! I can say I am pretty much back to normal. I get a little tender on my sides if I bump them against something where I had the lipo. Out of this experience I think the walker was a huge help at the beginning it helped when I was first hunched over after surgery definetey great for getting up and down off the toilet. I rented a recliner just an electric one that would recline by a button it was a life save I slept in it with lots of pillows it gave me a lot of independence getting up and down. Those two things are my advice as a must have for the surgery!! Here are some pictures of me at 11 weeks. I have been enjoying buying new cloths a little too much . I like trying on cloths now everything is nice and smooth.

Thanks for the update.
My PS surgeon said no to the walker as he don't want me to get to dependent hunched over. How long did you use the walker? Do you think it kept you hunched longer than you would have without the recliner?
No I never felt really hunched over it just reminded me to stay bent for five days the big thing that I liked was for getting up and down the support of having it. I I used it for just a few days it was helpful for me. I would stand up and forget to stay bent so it reminded me and my muscles in my back pulled and got tired quick . It just gave me something to lean on for a break at the very beginning
THANKS:)
