Week 5 I believe

Ok so I think I am in week five. the swelling has gone down some, but I still feel pockets of fluid in different places, so I now I am still swollen. My pants fit better though, which is good. I am pretty much the same weight as before. I still feel twinges of sharp pain when someone touches my sides or if I stretch really far. Overall not too bad. I am still trying not to judge the results, because if I do, I will be dissatisfied. Here are some current before and after pics. Not much of a difference. But like I said, I still feel pockets of fluid and to be honest, I have not been the best about wearing my garment after week 4 :-(

Discouraged

I'm 15 days post op and still the same size :( I hope it's just swelling. Otherwise I feel fine. Slightly sensitive when a kid was hitting my belly today. That's about it. I hope the swelling goes down soon!

I had lipo done 3 weeks ago and like you I had a difficult time fitting into my clothes. My swelling was the worst at about two weeks after surgery. It's only been in the last few days that my pants have become too big. It really happened almost overnight. I lost 5 pounds in two days. Hang in there and I bet you'll see improvement soon.

I hope I'm headed that direction!! Looks like it has gone down a bit the past few days :-)

Itchy Lumpy
hawaiianpitbull808April 27, 2014
Lumps have started to form. I try to massage them out. They are hard little lumps all under my skin. You can't really see them, but I can feel them. Doc says it's normal. I'm also mildly itchy. I find myself scratching at work and randomly throughout the day. Still numb on lower back. I still don't see any change in shape. I suppose it's the swelling. I was dissapointed because I went to put on a pair of pre op jeans and they didn't fit. I hope it's just the swelling. So far I have gained a pant size. :-(

I hope you are feeling good and seeing more and more results. I knew to expect the swelling but boy is it a pain. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yes, I'm getting discouraged. It's been over 2 weeks and I'm still the same size, in fact bigger, than I was before :(

I really wish I had known I would be bigger after surgery than before. I was totally unprepared to go back to work because only my sweatpants would fit over my thighs! I expected swelling, but I did not expect to look so much worse before I started to look better.

I know it's scary spending all that money and seeing yourself getting bigger instead of smaller

Yeah, I am a dress wearer and I am tired of all the "recovery Maxi Dresses". I had an event today and so wore a dress that was just to the knee to hide my scary bruises. It was for my kids school and I would have frightened all of the kids and other parents if they saw these bruises but I just needed a change. I am back to work tomorrow and have no idea of what I am going to wear.

Hang in there. Once the swelling decides to leave, it will be dramatic (this is what I have heard) something to look forward to.

More to come :-) I know the swelling is a pain. Doc keeps telling me to be patient
