Well, I had a hard time believing but I really have continued to see changes! Not huge, but little changes. I still have a tiny bit of swelling at end of day and still get very bloated on top after I eat. But overall I’m really happy! My clothes size didn’t change a great deal but they are so much more
comfortable!
comfortable!

10 weeks post op
rparker1985January 16, 2018
10 weeks post op and I actually saw a change about two weeks ago! One week my jeans didn’t fit and I swear a week or two later they are too big! I still can get really bloated and I still have a “bump out” on upper belly. BUT, my clothes are so much more comfortable! I’m really happy about that!
Even though I don’t have to wear the CG any more, I find if I go without it even for just a few hours I will get a little sore. Seems strange to still be happening at 10 weeks but it is! My hope is that if I still get sore and swollen things are still changing in there and maybe this will get even better!

It sounds so crazy to say this but 10 weeks it’s still so early. So many things will change all the way up to a year postop. I swear I wore my compression garment forever. I still wear it when I work out and I am almost 8 months postop. You look great!

Review. They were taken in the morning when things are much flatter. But still, I see a
big change!

Comparing 2 weeks and 6 weeks
rparker1985December 19, 2017
Comparing two weeks and six weeks. I look the same! Other then bruising and scar color. At 2 weeks I sure didn’t think that I would look the same a month later. It’s really hard to believe this is ok...I’m trying not to get freaked out. I’m eating good, drinking my water, taking bromelain and trying to be patient.

Awe sorry to hear you are feeling discouraged. I really saw my swelling decrease around week 7 and 8. In your pics i do see more of a curvy waist line in the 6 week pic. Unfortunately you have to give it the full 6 months to see your final result. Some people just take longer with the swelling. Are you still using compression? At 10 months post op I still get swelling and pull out my binder and put it on. Def helps bring my swelling down some

I haven't drank ata much lemon water lately, but I have an egg a day, no flour, wheat, limit sugar and salt, nothing possessed, I eat a lot of salads, fruit a d chicken. But I've been eating like this for a few years so it's not a big change for my body. The doc really doesn't think I'm that swollen and he doesn't understand why I can't fit in my jeans....I don't understand either
December 23, 2017
Ugh I bet it’s even more frustrating that he doesn’t have an answer for you either :/ I’m curious what these next few weeks/months will bring for you. You’re doing everything right though! You have an excellent diet and take good care of yourself so that’s great :)
December 23, 2017
I really think you do. Six weeks is still early in recovery to me, so I’m surprised your Dr thinks this is your result. I had so many changes from month to month the first 6 months!
December 24, 2017
really?! that makes me feel better! I’m thinking...my sides and areas of my abdomen are still sore. so if still sore they must be still healing right? if still healing then changes could still happen. sounds logical right?
December 24, 2017
You definitely look like you still have swelling. Try not to get discouraged! I stopped wearing my binder a couple days ago and my swelling is seriously worse than it was at 2 wpo. I keep forgetting to take an end of day picture to prove it! It sounds like you're doing everything right so I'm sure it's just that every person's body heals differently. My surgeon told me I was still swollen at my 6 wpo and said to expect it for another several months so I'm not sure why your surgeon disagrees. But try to keep positive!

How's it going rparker? I've been looking for an update and hope you are doing well!
January 16, 2018
hi! thank you so much for checking on me! I just posted some updated pictures and review. I’m finally seeing some changes in the way my clothes fit!!! how are you doing?
January 18, 2018
hi! jut checked your review! you look fantastic!!! I posted an update on my review . it’s better then I was, that’s for sure! I do wish it didn’t look so bloated all the time. oh well, I’m getting great at just holding it in! 3 months ago holding it in wouldn’t have made a difference!
January 18, 2018
Ha! I know what you mean! This app can be hard sometimes. So glad you are doing well. I feel ya on the bloating/swelling!!!!
