Day 38 - Progress!

Day 38 - I had intended to take update photos at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months. But I just got around to taking new photos, so it's more like 6 weeks since the procedure. I'm definitely seeing progress!

Yes, I've been working out (although, not necessarily more than before) and have been eating well (probably a little better than before). So, all together with continuing to workout, eating well and letting the coolsculpting do it's work, I can definitely feel and see progress.

Also, after the second week, there has been no pain, numbness or anything that would limit or hinder me from normal activities. I'm still hoping to get more progress over the next 2 months, but I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks so won't be getting the same workouts (and diet!) that I normally would have. We'll see and I'll try to get an update the first week of August which would be 2 months.

To me it looks like u r having great results. I look forward to it updates. I think I will start interviewing Dr in this area for late summer/fall procedure date. I will just have my left f l bank done to start since that is my area of concern.

Just checking in to see if there was further progress since 10-12 weeks is suppose to be the ideal time period?

Yes. I did my 3 month check-in with the office and the before and after pics were quite encouraging. I'll scan in the photos, since I didn't get electronic copies and try to post soon. But, although much of the progress was in the first 6 weeks, there was noticeable additional progress by the 3 month point.

Day 10 - No more Pain

Day 10 and the pain, numbness, swelling is almost completely gone now. I plan to post some 1 month pics the first week of July. I understand that it takes 2-3 months to get the full result, but I'm hoping to start to see some results even at the 1 month point.

Day 6 - Bring on the Pain

The first week, my abs were swollen and tender. Numbness and spot tingling with mild pain if I touched/massaged my abs. Day 5 and 6 was a turning point as the pain ratcheted up quite a bit. Still bearable, but fortunately this was Saturday and Sunday and I just took it easy (and motrin!).

Day 7 - The pain was mostly gone and I even went running for the first time since the procedure, although only for 15 minutes. Then I switched back to elliptical. The swelling has gone down, although my abs are still a little tender to the touch, but nothing like the last few days. Hopefully, this means I'm through the worst of the pain. Now, I'm ready to start seeing progress!
