7weeks post op - Houston, TX

Finally! So I am 7 weeks post op and feel pretty great. I think my recovery was pretty typical. I had some swelling for about a month. But never anything really bad. I didn't go through swell hell like a lot of people. But I think that is because I eliminated salt completely about a week before my surgery and am just adding it back now and since I am a stay at home mom with olderkids. I think that because I could just relax and heal it eliminated a lot of swelling.
My ps took off about 8 pounds of skin and liposuction about 2.5 liters from each h flank. I went with 550cc silicon implants. Those took some getting accustomed too. I still think I went too big. But my dh loves them.
I am back at the gym but find it very difficult! Running is not easy so I guess I will go back to walking and thebike for a while. I love putting on my jeans and having to pull them up all day. I am putting off shopping for another month.
I love my flat tummy! Now I am working on hips and thighs! This was the best decision for me.

I am a little more than 4 weeks post op. Most of the pain is completely gone. The lipo of the flanks continues to be the source of my discomfort. Overall I am pretty pleased with my results. My boobs are still a little tender but wow they are certainly not sagging any more. My husband is still out of the country. He has not seen me since about a month before the surgery. So he is in for a huge shock!!
My tummy is pretty flat. My hips and lower back is still a little swollen. I can't wait for that to go away. And I really can't wait until I can comfortably sleep on my side!!

Today is post op day 18. I am not having any pain really jut some discomfort when I sit too long. I still think I went too big with my girls. Hopefully some of this is still swelling. I am so glad I decided to wait on the inner /outer thighs liposuction because flank liposuction has been the most painful. My back is still pretty bruised and that makes getting in and out of bed painful.
