She's 5 Weeks Old Already?

$13,500
Feeling pretty good in my fifth week. I walked about 2 miles on the track today :)). My legs are still quite swollen and sore. If I had to do it over, I wouldn't have touched them. After all I was totally happy with them. Not to mention I get to here my hubby say how ugly they are compared to before (true but I'm swollen)and says I shouldn't have done this because I came out looking worse...yada yada yada. Lie! but I'm not paying attention...well trying not to. I can't think of anything else to type at the moment. I had a good update going yesterday but it erased because I was interrupted often. From now on I'm going to use my notepad in my phone then copy and paste it here to prevent that from happening in the future. Oh and there have been a few nights where I sleep 4 hrs straight but mostly I still wake up every hour and a half. My back hurts and legs have this zingy annoying feeling throughout the night. My mind is very spacey because of that but I'm happy to have so much more mobility and less soreness overall now. I'm happy with my results so far. ..VERY happy! Hugs n smooches sisters!

You went from a straight flatty (I can say that cause i was too lol....just a wider/larger flatty lol!) to a perky/adorably sexy/round phatty..,,with a defined waist!!!! Well, he's a regular charmer, eh?!! I guess he's still ticked about you being away from the home for that period of time so now resorting to passive-aggressive digs/insults. I wish you did not have to endure that type of treatment Elli....you already know how I feel about you......hopefully, he'll back off with the ISH soon. Wow-2 miles--that's great!! You and back2me45 seemed to have the most problems with the legs....but she's doing so much better so I expect the same for you xoxoxoxo
Ahaha...yes, you can say that my flat to Phat booty sis ;) I'm happy with my results and feel beautiful. He can shove his hurtful comments "where the sun don't shine" but he gets to me sometimes girl. I don't think he'll change. These past couple of weeks(especially past few days) I have been emotionally drained. I suppose because of surgery & lack of rest. I'll get back on track eventually. I've come so far already in my healing process and I'm grateful. My legs will eventually be back to normal :) I see these women not making it out of the DR and back to their families with their lives intact.... I tear up thinking about it. My God have mercy. I mean I have so much to be thankful for. I feel selfish to complain, yet I know venting a little helps with the healing. Thank you for being such a supportive big booty sister :) Thank God for SPRING!!! Im heading out for a walk, into the fresh spring air to drink in God's beautiful budding creation. Muahz xoxo
Your booty is absolutely beautiful Elli! I can't believe that your husband is trippin like that during this sensitive stage in your recovery. Maybe he's secretly jealous or nervous about the extra attention. I'm sorry if I'm out of line for saying this but he is acting like a 5000 cc ass right now! Don't stress it babe just focus on your recovery :-)
Lmbo! 5000 cc ass. I wish he'd take his head outta it! I'm trying not to focus on his mean & thoughtless words. Boy he makes everything so much harder! Yes, this recovery has me more emotional than not lately... back to focusing on recovering ;) I'm gonna try not to complain and just be thankful for what I have. Thanks for your support sweetie pie :)
You're welcome babe :-)
Girl u r shape is absolutely beautiful, video worthy. That's u r husband's own insecurities coming out. Do glad u r doing great.
Thank you sweets! You're looking mighty fine yourself.
So
Hello Ms. Elli890 - Love love love you nice round phatty! Embrace the new you and try not to allow any negative spirits in your being. Try to block out any and everything that doesn't contribute to your smile. You look great and it only gets better. The swelling in your legs does get better but unfortunately it does take time. Don't be alarmed if just when you think you're seeing improvement they swell again. For me I found that kneeling on my knees, excessive walking and sodium would cause my swelling. I am 4 mos now and the swelling has subsided. Be patient dear I know it's annoying but it will pass. When you're just lounging around the house wear your leg compression and also try to massage the uneven areas twice a day.
Thank you so so much for the advice and kind words. I'm very grateful to you sis ♡ Patience is my middle name from here on out ( Big smile) xoxo

You betta work it Ms. Elli! How's your scar tissue coming along?
It is getting better thanks :) How's yours coming along hun? I'm hoping to get some time to update in length about how my recovery Is going.
I'm so late responding to this! My scar tissue practically gone but I still have some swelling. I haven't had the strictest compression regimen but it will go away eventually. I just keep enough compression to ensure smooth results.
Wow Elli you look absolutely gorgeous! Your body is perfectly proportionate, amazing!
Thank you Mesan ♡ I'm very happy thus far!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION About Fish Oil

Most if not all of you probably already know this but just in case... Fish oil, especially high dosages, can cause excessive bleeding pre and post operative. Always consult with your doctor before taking any supplements to make sure it's okay.

I have that same problem with my arms, I'm massaging daily and noticing process, slow but progress
I'm glad you're seeing improvement. I wonder if once we massage it away, if that's it or does it try & come back. This is a slow process to full recovery... we'll get there eventually ;)
Can we all fast forward to 8 months already. ..lol
