I just got the abdominal board that I ordered on Amazon. At first I thought it was too stiff but after wearing it for a few hours around the house, I realized that it starts molding with my body shape. I wouldn't wear it out in public because I feel it is rather noticeable. I don't think sleeping with it on is comfortable. Has anyone used it before? Do you have any tips?
Tomorrow I have a business meeting. I am hoping that I do not have to sit for too long. I do not want to lose volume on my bbl.
The downside to recovering from cosmetic surgery is that you have to take extra time to take care of your body to the point that it consumes your thoughts. There are so many things that you must do and things that you can't do which revolve around your body. I am not used to making so many decisions based on the way I want my body to look and feel. For example, I choose to stand on the bus since I am not going to carry around my boppy pillow everywhere I go. I also have to evaluate my body and see how much swelling I have before picking out which garment to wear. I have one compression garment that is so tight, I take it off at dinner time so I can eat comfortably. The one thing I tend to be an underachiever in is drinking enough water. I thought of actually setting alarms on my phone as reminders so I can drink more water throughout the day.

How did the board work out? Does/did it help with the swelling?

It's been 10 days since my procedures. I can't seem to get used to wearing compression garments day and night. I sleep with a binder and Spanx. It's not exactly comfortable. I noticed the swelling is finally going down after I followed my doctor's tip. He told me to fold a kitchen (or hand) towel and place it inside my garment in the areas where I am most swollen. I am also moving around more around the house and that helps.
