I'm Really Going to Do It!!! - Overland Park, KS

I feel pretty good. I am standing straight most of the day. I'm swollen all the time. I drink lots of water, but I am pretty sure it's only going to go away in time. I am still wearing only elastic waist and leggings. I don't want to wear anything else until the swelling subsides. I am going to start the Brazil butt lift videos next week and do everything but the ab stuff. My stamina is a little low so I am hoping to build it back up. My tip of the day is Have Patience. This sx is a LONG process........

I went in for my 3 week today. Everything is looking great. It's amazing how much can change in a short time. I am almost completely straight!!!!! Woohoo!! Not much back pain anymore. I am so thrilled not to be hunched over. That was my biggest grievance with the sx. I am still super swollen especially at the end of the day but I'm not sweating it. I can see how great it's going to eventually look and that helps me have patience. I still get pretty tired easily but I have been cleared to exercise so I am going to slowly start getting back into it. I was also told I can stop wearing my cg. I am still going to wear spanx though. The lipo area on my inner thigh is still very tender but my thighs look so much better. I can't wait to see the final result. All in all, I can't complain. Best part, even my husband is getting excited about it. He has been supportive of the whole thing but not necessarily too thrilled about it. He made several comments today that tells me he is finally coming around. On a less happy note, my butt looks so flat to me now! I have got to get toned up, because I am so wearing a bikini this summer!! First time since 1998!!!!!

I am slowly but surely improving. I really underestimated how slow the recovery process was. I am only two weeks out so I can't complain. I am still really numb in my stomach. The only place that truly hurts is the upper middle part of my stomach. I am very swollen. It gets worse as the day goes on but it's even pretty swollen in the morning. The swelling seems to be worse around my incision area. It's like I have permanent muffin top. I don't take my cg off too much and I still have tape over my incision. It looks really low and thin. I am not walking straight yet. That is the most frustrating part. I feel good enough to do anything, I just can't because my back hurts from the hunchback effect. I am just trying to remain patient. I waited long enough for the tuck, so I can wait longer for the best results!!!!
