6 weeks post op liposuction to the flanks and muscle repair if I'm starting to exercise lately but it seems like my body is not yet ready for all that! I think my 3-month mark I'll be ready to get back into the gym. Overall I feel great mornings are best there's no swelling going on but come evening time...... it's swell hell! I really can't wait to get back into my regular workout routine I'm excited to see how much I can define my new six pack abs.

You look really great! But your rating says ‘not sure’? Did it all work out?

I had my surgery yesterday and posted pics! The muscle repair hurt! My separation was huge though... Dr said a baby's head fit through my separation. He said that because I didn't have too much belly fat he was able to really get the skin tight. 7-8lbs of just skin! Craziness! But so happy!

That's great that you're up and mobile ready and able to post comments online I was literally down for over a week I had a really hard recovery the first week second week was still kind of hard by the third week it was better I had a pretty bad Gap in between my abdominal muscles as well but the overall results have been great for myself and I'm sure you will get the same considering we both went to the same doctor. If you need any pointers on anything regarding recovery or if you have any questions let me know I'll do anything I can to help.

So one of my drains isn't really draining but the other one is draining fine. Is this normal? I'm trying to stay on top of the pain meds but even with the pain meds it hurts at times a lot! How long did you have the drains in? Also how are you sleeping and sitting down? It's so hard to get up from the recliner by myself! Thanks for your support. Glad to hear it gets better. I'm so happy to not look pregnant anymore!!

Make sure you suction the drain and the [RS bleep] on top is secure. I had mine in for 14 days! Getting up & down takes skills and you learn what works best for you but I used a walker and crutches to get around for the first two weeks.

Thanks! That's a good idea about getting a walker! Oh boy, 14 days? Im not looking forward to that! I'm scheduled to go back to work in 3 weeks, do you think that's enough time based on your recovery ? I have a desk job so nothing too strenuous, I do get up and walk every hour but maybe 2-3 minutes.

It's a bit nerve racking but just think to yourself ," Summer is here and you'll be flaunting your beach bod in no time." If you get through the first week the rest isn't so bad.

How is your recovery going!?

It'seems getting better by the day. I've noticed the more movement I do the more swollen I get. It's still very uncomfortable sleeping in a recliner. I'll update some photos.
