3 weeks out

It's been three weeks since my procedure and my reaction is, meh. I'm eating better meals and walking, because I was told my fat was visceral and lipo can't get to that fat, I have to work it off. After spending so much money, I was hoping for a more drastic decrease in my size, but unfortunately it hasn't. I've been wearing my garments religiously. I actually had a situation with my arm garments, they were cutting into my skin, causing a laceration. The nurse at NuBody hooked me up with a complimentary new and different style of a garment to wear, which is much better on my arms, but now digs into my sternum. Catch 22. My hope is that as I continue to heal and exercise I won't look 6 months pregnant.

Two weeks out!
I'm now two weeks post procedure and I'm trying to allow grace for my lack of progress. I gained three pounds (which is expected, but discouraging). I did transition from a medium garment to a small which is definitely a victory!! I'm trying my best to keep a positive attitude and move forward towards healing.....both emotionally and physically. Prayers appreciated!

2nd day...I'm in Hell!
My husband works 48 on and 4 days off, so I've had to manage ( very unsuccessfully I might add). My recovery alone. Dr Calon did a great job of trying to suck out as much subcutaneous fat cells that she could. Unfortunately, I'm in immense pain. I cry out each time I move, but save the theatrics for when I have to get up out of bed. On a scale of 1-10, I'm at a 20. Dr. Colon graciously prescribed meds to keep me comfortable, but when you get this kind of procedure done, thats an oxymoron.
I took my first shower today and unfortunately I'm so swollen that I couldn't zip up my compression garmet. So, all that's keeping it together are tree small hooks. I pray they are stronger than they look!

I'm so sorry the recovery has been such a struggle for you! I just got chin lipo and also can't believe the soreness and the swelling...and that is just one small part of my body. So I can't imagine what you're going through! Even the lightest tap with my finger was so painful for the first full week. I hope that every day gets easier for you! I am less sore now that I'm about 12 days post, so I hope that will happen for you, too. And I hope that once it's all over, it will have been sooo worth it for your happiness and your new body! Wishing you all the best!
