Ok so here is a picture of day 12 post of my thighs. My stomach is post op day 27 ( 3 weeks) I beginning to feel the bottom of my stomach soften up with continueous massage and stretching. Hopefully that will continue! My thighs are obviously still very swollen but that's to be expected. The price we pay for beauty...

Bruised and swollen!!
NyGirl45April 17, 2015
Well today is one week post op and I won't be posting any pictures other then my swollen and bruised thighs!!! Went back to work for the first time yesterday and boy did it set me back!!! However, I'm gonna keep the faith and let the healing take care of itself! Rest, massage and arnica included! Hope the rest of you are all doing well! Sounds corny I know, but I feel such a bond between us all! :)

Boy, I know the bruising! I had black bruising, all over my legs, starting down my calves! I hope it all starts to feel better soon. I was told around day 12... and you know what, she was right (thanks Donna) it was about then that I started to feel better and the swelling and such started to dissipate. Hope that work doesnt slow you down too much!! You're doing great!

I know how you feel! I actually did some turbo kickboxing today, and I think I am day 18 now... just little tinges, with my CG on, but not too bad! Amazing how quickly you lose your "endurance". I was more winded and tired than normal, thats for sure! You will get there :) Put those feet up!!

I am so sorry you are dealing with so much bruising as well as the daily swelling. I think you have the right attitude that we just have to get through the healing process- that takes strength and vision- vision for the final outcome which we will be able to enjoy soon! take it easy this weekend!
April 17, 2015
Ouchee! You totally have the right idea about letting the healing process do its thing. These things take time and those who stress and nitpick over every little detail go NUTS, I'm sure. :)

I know! Me, too. Ha! This morning as I was getting out of the shower my hubby said I look really good. Of course, I had to point out that I'm still swollen, this little spot, that little spot...He's like, GEEZ, don't point out every little thing...the Dr. said you'd be like this for a while. I know! He thought I was stressing and complaining, but really I was just pointing it out. I guess deep down, I was thinking he might be apprehensive about the results. He's not. :)

Hey! Sorry you are dealing with so much bruising. Yes keep the faith there are the good and not so good days. Get some rest and hoping you feel better soon!:-)

Good morning... Day 9 and I can see the bruising beginning to fade. Very sore still but that's to be expected. Has your swelling gone done at all? Just curious.., I feel like mine are gonna be like this forever! Lol

Well, looks like you coming right along! Rest is the best medicine and a bit of walking to ease the stiffness! I am two weeks post op now and feel almost back to normal (well, at least in my CG) and still have a bit of swelling too, but its not as bad as it was! baby steps!
April 13, 2015
Looks like you are healing well and can see a difference even with the swelling!!
April 16, 2015
Looking great. You will have to let us know what he says. Good luck tomorrow!!!
April 16, 2015
The doc said everything looked great. I'm very swollen and back to work! I don't see the doc again for 3 months. So at this point day by day....
April 17, 2015
Back to work! Aaaak! What was that, about 5 days off after the thighs? I can't imagine! Take it easy. :). I've been swelling like a puffer fish since I've been back to work. Joy. I was going to update my pics tonight, but nope! Couldn't do it. So, I wrapped up tight and won't stress about it.
April 17, 2015
It was horrible! My legs and my stomach both swelled up badly! My bruises also got worse!! I'm trying to elevate my legs during my lunch hour or when I can sneak it in but it's not nearly enough! I won't be posting pictures anytime soon... They look bigger right now then before Lipo! Lol
April 17, 2015
It will get better!! Trying to put your feet up when you can will help for sure! And once you get home, then put they go!! Sorry, I cant imagine back to work either after 5 days. I work from home though, so it was okay for me!!
April 17, 2015
Crazy, right?! But expected, I suppose. :) Hang in there. We still have a long way to go!
April 18, 2015
I had felt that way too, like they were literally going to explode!! It will get better, promise!! Before you know it even! Hugs, rest this weekend!
April 20, 2015
Made it through the weekend! Got some needed rest and feeling much better this morning. Bruises are like a rainbow, all sorts of colors now! However they are starting to fade. Hopefully I feel good enough to post pics soon. :)
April 20, 2015
I was glad when my bruises start to fade. I have just a few small blackish ones now, on the tops of one thigh really. There is still a really sore spot there too! I am just 3 weeks out today, but I feel more swollen today then I did a week ago! Smeh! Glad you are feeling better today!! Are you still taking the arnica?
April 20, 2015
So glad you had a restful weekend. That helps! The bruises sure do get ugly before they get better, don't they? Mine are almost gone...3 weeks tomorrow!
April 21, 2015
So glad you got the rest you needed and your bruises are fading. Can't wait to see your pictures!!!
April 21, 2015
Day 9 today and I see them starting to fade. I look like a sunset sky... Just full of all different shades of pink, purple and yellow Lol
April 21, 2015
Ha! You described the bruising changes much nicer than I did. Ha ha! I think I said mine started to look like baby poop!
