Mother Of The Groom Photo!
Well, lipo friends, the wedding was last weekend and I'm still buzzing from the adrenaline rush of watching my one-and-only-son marry his first love! It was nothing short of a fairytale wedding and I mustered all of my strength to not twist up my face and bawl (happy tears!) through all four hours of it! As promised, here's a photo of me in my MOTG dress, walking my baby boy to the altar to meet his bride.
First day without the compression garment
This morning, I decided to forego the compression garment and all was well until about noon then I started to notice that I was REALLY starting to swell! It's 5:30 now and I'm relaxing on the sofa but feeling quite puffy and... raw. When I get up and walk across the room, I can feel my entire midsection sting a little with the jolt of every step. I'm DEFINITELY wearing my CG tonight and I'll be happily squeezing back into it tomorrow. I'm five weeks and one day and I think I'll wait at least another week before I try going bare again. Fortunately, I don't mind the CG. It feels like a comforting hug from an old friend! ;)
5 weeks post op pics
It's been 5 weeks since surgery and gongs are coming along nicely. Progress is slow but I see gradual improvement. I wear a non medical grade compression garment 24/7. It's a mid thigh length Maidenform pull on type with suspenders and I wear my own bra. Light weight and silky smooth with no Velcro or zippers. The only down side is that it's a b!tch to get up over my hips but fits like a dream once everything is in place. Using the tiny little pee flap takes practice too but it's doable. I'm still slightly numb everywhere I had lipo but sensation is back to about 80% of normal. No pain as the nerves regenerate. No zaps or zings either. I do still have hard spots and some pea sized lumps on my sides but they're not visible and only hurt if I press on them. For this reason, I can't comfortably wear anything tight around my waist. It's been yoga pants for 5 weeks! Fortunately, I look decent in them now even though they're size XL. Funny how a bit booty is perfectly acceptable if you have a flat tummy! I meet with my PS next Monday but I have no complaints or concerns as my progress seems normal. My son's wedding is in three weeks and I'm looking forward to enjoying that beautiful day without dreading the photos. Speaking of photos... Here's my 5 week before and after.
