I had smartlipo on upper/lower abs. Barely sore, never stopped working out. Day after I was already at gym doing ellipical (slow pace for an hour) day3...today I went running. Im pretty swollen so I dont see much results.. So im kinda disappointed thus far ..i wanted to see at least a lil results soon after. But no :/

I don't think you will see much results at day 3. It hasn't been 24 hrs yet. So I am in so much pain and can hardly stand for long. Once I can I will post pictures.

I was told by my dr that if you exercise to early in like sooner than 2 weeks post op that you can mess the healing process up. I was real happy with my results and then I started working out my and and gluts and cardio at 5 weeks post op...I'm now 7 weeks and MAJOR indentations in the lower abs are starting to show up. Not pleased. I also had excess bruising and swelling anytime I would gently work out sooner than a month post op.

Really??? My doctor said no vigorous exercise for 3-5days.. Day #3 I put on 2 compression garnments and went out the door with my running partner. Took a few mins to get used to the "bounce" never had that before lol but it felt like I was carrying 2 water bottles in my belly. Its still same swelling the only thing running did was breakup the bruising along side my old c-section scar and spread it thru out my lower abs. Weird!!!

Ouch, I can't even imagine running in the first 2 weeks. I know salt will make me swell and not drinking enough water. Maybe lay off exercising for a week or so, wear the girdle 24/7 the more the better and see f that helps the swelling.

Your the 1st patient #1 wide awake (didnt take pain pills, anti stress nor nausea meds which knock you out) #2 never once complained when it hurt (suctioning the upper abs hurt!!!!!) but for a few seconds. I never had nausea either and knew I wouldn't have it so I was like..im not taking all those pills!!! You crazyyyyy lol anyways feel better soon

That's crazy. I was asleep through the procedure. Don't think I would have done it wide awake. You really are strong. I'm sure I will feel less pain later today. Thank you
