I wanted to update because today was a big deal. I went to work out for the first time in a fitted tank top. I have never done that as everything I have worn in the past 10 years has been such that it masked my love handles and stomach. I really feel amazing today, confident even...that alone is worth every penny :)

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my surgery.
On the Plus Side
1. A lot of the swelling has gone down
2. My bruising is almost completely gone- only experienced on my love handles
3. Pins and Needles/Numbness has reduced
4. The soreness/sensitivity has reduced.
5. My weight has stabilized a bit
6. Incisions are healing well and fading
7. Very happy with my butt- hoping the swelling does not go down further, like how it looks now.
8. Able to fit back into most of my clothes
Negative
1. Still wearing compression garment which leaves/left marks on hips and stomach
2. Lumps are visible- Front of stomach looks horrible, not flat and uneven below belly button- I am not sure if this is due to swelling or if will need to be corrected :(
3. There are weird indentations on my sides that will need to be corrected if they stay as is.
4. I don't know if I should expect the Dr. to offer to correct without payment? Any feed back on this would be great.
5. REALLY do not want to go through this post-op process again.

1 Week Post- I am feeling a little discouraged today, I was hoping the swelling would have gone down a bit more by now. As you can see from the photos on Day 4, my stomach now looks the way it did before the procedure, only worse because of the bruising and incisions. I have been wearing the chest to knee garment almost all day everyday. It is leaving indentations on my sides from the zippers that run all the way up the sides. I additionally wear the binder at night.
The doctor tole me not to try to lose weight for 3 months!!!! The main objective of getting this done was to fix the areas that I could not through diet and working out, but I still have weight to lose even though my shape has been impoved. Another item I wish I knew before the surgery. So basically I feel unattractve and uncomfortable The garment is a nuissance because it is so bulky in places. I will update with photos again soon but for now I look the same as day 4 but with less pain and the bruising has gone down a bit.
I am taking Arnica tablets and using the cream. I like to think it is helping but so far I can't tell. My pants still do not fit :(
