Hi..what's your name in IG?
It's Kristie (then my last name) should be all caps and no spaces.
I totally agree! I just realized who you are on my instagram list. I didn't know that was you! Sorry... I am hardly on real self but do come in from time to time to see everyone that I had followed when I started this journey!

This is what I am dealing with...first thing in the morning. No more flatness in weeks. I am frustrated....and STILL wearing my cg every damn day!! Dare I spend more money and try waist training with a cincher??????

At 7mos post op I'm still dealing with swelling and still wearing a waist clincher I hate it!! I've been told it can take up to a year for swelling to go away but of course who wants to hear that. Fortunately I found these dresses on Athleta.com that hide swelling and waist cinches like a dream! And they are soo comfortable too! Happy healing and hopefully this swelling stops soon :-)
What's your diet like? Try a day or two of like low to no carbs and fats and see if it helps? I was 4 months po 8-20 and haven't had any issues with swelling. Even stopped wearing the Spanx for most part. But I notice considerable "pouch" when I have cheat meals off my low carb and high protein usual diet.
Also, water! I drink two liters a day, have for years. But water retention will happen if you aren't drinking enough...
I eat fairly healthy, I'm a vegetarian, so I eat a lot of veggies and fruits. I also limit my gluten fairly much...but i will try that...thanks! I've been reading alot about clean eating and am going to try that and see what happens.
And there in lies my problem. ..water...I struggle drinking enough...but will force myself...even if I go while downing it..haha
Hey! How's your swelling now? I'm almost 4 months post op and have the exact swelling! I just went to the doc today and she said it's normal and not fat! I had some problems post op like infections and I had to have a catheter for a week and she said that really slowed my healing down. I just want to have a flat tummy!!!
It's better. I've been working our hard since January and have eliminated some things from what I eat. ..it's slowly but surely getting the getting better. I do notice if I eat anything high sodium I swell bad still...so I just avoid sodium as much as I can.
