After 4 years, I'm going back

I have to say that the first operation in 4/2011 was the best. I enjoyed four years of a great body. I still get comments about my coke shaped body. However, I need liposuction now and am getting ready to go at it again. This time I am having a breast lift, and much lipo on my stomach, hips, inner thighs and a little arm work. I am not afraid but I am older and probably more at risk though I got a dr clearance. Also I have been eating too much lately because I know I'll have this procedure.
I feel like I shouldn't have to have it again but I have gotten bigger and have that fat stomach feel again. My procedure is a weak from tomorrow. Can't wait.

Today I went for my 3.5 week post op visit and the doctor told me I can start working out. Well, I am not sure about that, but I will see what happens by Monday. I am still not in a great space and still taking it slow. I hoped I'd be able to work out soon, but it didn;t seem so yesterday, though today I feel better. I will see. I am still swollen but feel like I am getting larger instead of smaller since the day of surgery. It may be more of my vanity. I am updateing the pictures today with my 3.5 week post-op.

You're body, even in recovery, looks years younger than one would expect 50-year-old to have. That's awesome for you! Congrats.

Awww. thank you. I don't, however, agree (LOL), thus the body transformation at 13k!!. I think my face looks younger than 50; I hope that my body can eventually get on the same age.

But really, thank you for the compliment.

NY, I think you look fantastic at 3.5 wks PO! What a wonderful transformation :)

I can totally relate to the feeling of getting larger as the PO weeks go by. I am 5 weeks PO and I definately noticed increased swelling at 3 weeks. My 3wk pics are worse than 2wks, or the pre-op pics, even! I haven't added more since, and I'm certain I haven't swelled less since.

I have heard that most women will see a decrease around 6wks.

I am two weeks post-op and feeling better each day. I am anxious to work out to begin the finishing work of what my PS started. I am so excited about the upcoming summer and cannot wait to get into a bathing suit where I dont look pregnant. I think I may have pushed too hard because I had a couple of bad days as a result of doing too much on the days I felt good. I'll post 3 week post op pictures when its time.
