5'8", 155 Lb, Doing 4 Tomorrow Sono Bello

These are the same brand of jeans (Old Navy, lol) as are in my pre and post op pictures, but these jeans are a 6, not a 10 anymore!!! And NO muffin top now, super satisfied with my results.

I measured my own waist myself the day before surgery (33.5 inches)just so I would have proof too, and so did they. They confirmed it yesterday, sure enough at my post-op yesterday, my waist is a full four inches smaller (29.5). And they tell me I'm still swollen; more improvement to come! My lower hip circumference is only about a half inch smaller; but I'm still significantly swollen and only ten days out from having that area done. But each thigh down a full inch. Right now I feel a little lopsided with my waist so much smaller than anywhere else, but they said the lower body takes longer to heal. It will, in time, be patient. I can feel my jeans sliding up better and can button them easily with no strain. My skin is retracting pretty well; looks a little saggy around my belly button and my stretch marks are pretty baggy but running my hands over my tummy is pretty shockingly flat. Never thought I'd feel like this again. I do have one "dent" that may take a little touch up, but still so early to tell. Definitely inspiring me to eat light and move around more!! Bruising on my legs is finally starting to get better; tender around my whole trunk, a bit. But zipped up a very "bodycon" size 8 dress this morning that I couldn't zip just a month ago, no compression garment, no girdle. And it looks good!!

Two days Post-Op, I look like a crime scene photo haha! It's ok though, pain is a little better and i feel better when I'm up and around. Legs looks scary, I hope my skin retracts ok, seems loose and jiggly and crepey right now. But I'm so excited about my tummy (done 3 weeks ago) that it's giving me hope for my legs!
