7 week update

WORTH IT$7,800
So yesterday I returned to the gym. I had a lot of anxiety. I did not know if my body would ache after a workout. I went to the gym with my cg on and used the eleptical at the lowest speed for 1 hour. I was not achy and I actually had the best night sleep since surgery. This week my the swelling above my left hip incision went down a lot. My right hip is falling behind on the swelling, it's still swollen. I really don't like that my liposuction from my flanks on my right side stings if I sit leaning on my couch. I know it can take months but ouch....My bbl did not stay but swelling in my flanks has reduced substantially which makes my booty look nicer. I guess I'm okay with the results. I'll start the scar treatment on all incisions the 27th this month. I just started to sleep on my sides last night. It was very uncomfortable, my boobs felt achy. Today my boobs look different and I think it's from how I slept. I have more cleavage. I feel that they moved to the center. I hope to go to the gym later tonight if I feel up to it. Hope everyone is healing nicely:)

It's nice to see you're doing good. I'll be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm still super swollen. My right flank is way bigger than my left and my hubby keeps reassuring me it's because the incision goes a little further back on that side. I'm still far from flat, and the surgeon said I wouldn't be completely flat because I had some fat. So annoying, I wish I knew that before hand I would have lost it or gone with someone who does liposuction on the tummy. I have been walking tho, 5 miles yesterday and 3 the day before. I'm healing really well. I was curious tho if you have hard like knots under your incision, I think it's normal but not sure. It kind of sucks not having a ps close by for another follow up.

Hi. I'm so glad your ok. Yes I had hard knots beneath my incision. They all went away. i hope yours do too. I had one for the longest at the end of my incisions and a suture popped out but dissolved after massaging it with saline water on the edge of an ear swap. I had that stubborn swelling at the end of the incision that did not allow me to sleep on my sides for the longest. One side of my hip deflated one day out of no where. The other has a hard and puffy spot above the incison. It's going away too, but too slowly for my liking. My body was having a hard time with swelling at the ends of the incisions because of the lipo on my flanks. Trust when I say that that will go down but I noticed it's the last to do so. I have not posted pics yet. When I do you'll notice my hips aren't as swollen in comparison to my last photo. Hang in there..

Last stitch from my belly button has dissolved

BY

Today I am Six weeks post op. I thought I would be ready to hit the gym today but am thinking I will return at 7 or 8 weeks to be on the safe side. Instead I walked around the mall. I've had dissolvable sutures poking there heads out of my belly button since week 3. I've been using a ear swap damped in neosporin to clean around these sutures, the last one came away today. So relieved. I have had no issues with my ba and lift and today I felt they are getting soft. I've avoided massaging my breast because my ps did not instruct me to do so. I had a bbl but slept on it since day one, against my ps instructions because I could not deal with the pain from my tt incision. I have lost 10 pounds since surgery and usually loose all fat from my butt when I'm thin. Albeit, I still have some meat on my butt which is an indicator that some of my bbl fat transfer remained. Every day I've been taking a nap since my post op surgery. I drove my husband crazy the first 4 weeks because I wanted instant results. I did not enjoy the swelling from my flanks after lipo, it hurts. I have been taking long naps every day and I think that has helped me feel better. I plan to return to the gym next week. I don't know if I should leave my compression garment on? If anyone went through this is like to know how they went to the gym, cg on?
