Day 11
WORTH IT$3,600
Today I wogged (walk/jogged) 3.8 miles. I ran twice earlier this week although both times were less than a mile. The numbness and stinging sensation is minimal although I still feel them ever now and then. I actually found that when I workout and get my blood warm and flowing it doesn't hurt as bad right afterwards!
I am noticing a very small change. My stomach used to fold over itself. Now, it is not as drastic, but I still have a ways to go. It's progress. I tried adding a collage to compare the pictures. It's pretty difficult to get the exact same view and angle, but I did my best to show an accurate comparison.

Sleepless nights
I have not slept well the last 2 nights. The pain kept me tossing and turning all night long. I tried ice and also a heating pad. Nothing worked. I feel like I'm ready to deliver a baby!
Also, none of the reviews mentioned diarrhea as a symptom. I stayed in the bathroom most of the morning. I would suggest researching and googling in addition to the testimonials here.
I was able to go jogging yesterday evening which was good. The only bad part is I only did a mile and I wasn't able to jog the entire thing. I guess that means I'm officially a "wogger"! Gotta find my new groove!
Other than feeling sleep deprived, I'm back at work and feeling a little better. Today is Day 8 and I'm praying the hardest part is over. If anyone wants to share their food log, I'm all ears. So far, my goal is to eat the least amount of bread possible and as many fruits and veggies as possible over the next 20 days.

I really feel like somebody with your body fat % should of went with actual liposuction. Cool sculpting shouldn't have been recommended for you, because I don't think you're going to get the results you want!

Are you a medical professional? Either way... Only time will tell. However, I googled it and it says that Coolsculpting is recommended for people who want to lose 30 lbs or less. And not to sound salty but... You don't know what my weight loss goals are or how many treatments I plan to get. But thanks for your opinion.

Right, so if you're looking for a snatched waist which I'm sure you are... You should of gone with liposuction. Because with coolsculpting you're going to need several treatments.., which in the long run will cost you more. Im not trying to be rude, I'm speaking facts. And coolsculpting does not promote weight loss, so whoever did your treatment should of told you that.

I thank you for your concern. You never answered my question though. Are you a medical professional? And I'm not trying to get snatched alor be a size 2, 4, or 6. I just want to fit my clothes! And I just need a jump start until I can get back in the habit of dieting and working out regularly. I'm not looking for a miracle.
Clearly, I've already researched the various options and chose this option as the best for me. I work with attorneys who do medical malpractice and have seen some of the scarring and results from liposuction. Also, as previously stated, I am a student and cannot miss class or work which is why I chose Coolsculpting (a non-surgical procedure) as well. Again, thank you for your comment but I did my homework already.

I can see you have your hands full and no room for downtime. Doesn't matter which you choose, it's the maintenance that's important.
once you start loosing some inches off the waist line, it will motivate you to continue with some exercise, which will give you greater results.
I messages my belly at nite with baby oil, I find it help with the numbness and itching.

Agreed! And I will try the baby oil! The itchiness is pretty much gone but still numb and sensitive in some areas. Thanks for the positive feedback!

I am a nurse. But I also did my research and based on your answer, you thought coolsculpting promotes weight loss and it doesn't.

It's so weird that you mention going to the bathroom ! I have had the same thing happen to me . Not sure if it's just a fluke thing or an actual side effect !

I googled the side effects because I thought it was unusual. But... It says it is a side effect... Along with cramping and nausea. :(

I had diarrhea at around 1 week also! I think maybe it's just a shock to your body and that some people react that way? Only lasted a day or two for me :) Can't wait to see your results!!

Hello, I am too looking into the procedure, but just for my legs. For now, just doing my research as I have noticed it does not work for some people and it can get so expensive. Scared of lipo and like you cannot afford any downtime. You asked about some advice regarding healthy eating plan for loosing inches. Have you tried high protein and low carb diet? It works wonders for me. I would probably include a good amount of non-starchy veggies and avoid sugary fruit in your diet though. If you are not vegetarian, eating lean chicken and fish regularly would be good. Limit your breads, rice and pasta to a minimum. Lots of water, unsweetened green tea and no fruit juices may help. What else... Oh, I do start my days with a big glass of water before my coffee - keeps you regular :) I would also eliminate white sugar and processed foods from your diet for now to help you with you goal! Stay healthy. Cheers! Dosia

Ok. All of the itching is true! Ugh! I wish I could've stayed home from work today. I have constant sensations of "stinging"/zings. I don't know how to explain the feeling. It is uncomfortable and painful at times. After reading another review, I will be purchasing Advil or Tylenol to help with the pain. It is not an extreme pain but definitely uncomfortable.
It does help to move and walk around though. That's the only time it doesn't hurt. I really would like to jog or workout but I can't do anything high impact. I plan to go walking tonight once I get home. I looked at my pictures that I posted the day after the procedure and I can tell that I am swollen since I can't fit any of my clothes right now. Thank God for dresses since I can't button my pants! I will try to post again next week.

I found that sitting at night watching tv was the worst for me . That's when I felt the most uncomfortable . It's been 10 days and the pain/ weird feelings are just about gone . I got the zaps and stings a lot . The swelling went away after about 8 days . Hope you feel better soon !

Thanks, NYgirl! Glad to know the pain is just about over! I sit at my desk for 9 hours a day... Sitting has been so uncomfortable! I had to do laps around my floor just to ease the pain. Thank goodness I have an amazing boss!
