Excited and Nervous for Implant Removal and Smart Lipo for Abdomen. San Diego, CA

I am feeling pretty good and have all my energy back from the surgery. I have been working on several different detox methods to try and improve things overall and I believe I am having some success! I did an electro lymphatic therapy along with a colonic and A footbath last week and I think that made a difference! I will likely do one more in another week. I don't have any aches from the surgery anymore although it's funny I still get a little bit of surgery pains here and there from where my stitches were. I guess that's proof its still healing! We are leaving on our big trip to Europe next week and I'm happy to know I am at this point. I have been either walking to miles a day or riding my bike for 10+ miles and recently have started to do a run/walk! I hope you all are out there having good results. If there is anything I have learned that it's definitely not immediate it takes some time day by day we will get there! Xoxo

I think swelling has come down in both my breasts and my abdomen from the lipo! Excited about my abdomen looking more flat, finally! I don't know if there will be more decreases in the swelling but I m happy where I am at now. scars fading is up next! I go for my 1 month follow up Monday and my doc is going to give me some scar treatment stuff so excited to start that and hoping it keeps my keloiding tendencies at bay! I am still riding a roller coaster of balancing my energy with overdoing it and still having reserves! I've been back at walking daily (did 2 miles today on the coast overlooking the beach-love!!) and did a 6 mile bike ride earlier this week so slowly getting back into it. Trying to take it easy is hard! Do you think I could swim if I wanted to now? Is the motion of rotating my arms okay above my head? I will ask doc that tomorrow too but wanted to know if you any did that after this procedure and how soon? On another long winded note, I went to a naturopath this week to help me heal and he muscle tested my supplements and told me which ones to leave behind and sold me some new ones. It's hard not to feel like it's all a hoax... His vitamin B made me feel awful (bad headache and lethargy), I'm going back on mine which is pure encapsulations methylated B, I still think it's better than his because it doesn't make me feel awful! He also told me not to take my fish oil (again pure encapsulations) but instead skate oil (gel fishy capsules) and not my vitamin D which was a liquid capsule and take his which is in a capsule that is powder.so confusing to know what is truly better for me. Never heard of his brands and I know of pure encapsulations and think it's superior...told me to stop all dairy, and sugar, and starches to heal. I'm sure that is good advice but not easy to do. Tough stuff! I'm just going to focus on veggies, fruits and complex carbs and of course no alcohol and no to little sugar. We will see how it goes. I've already been doing that for the most part but need to be a bit stricter with myself. Yikes! Haha! Hope you all are doing well with your healing. I love reading your updates. Xoxo!

Hi Gals, I just want to ask you if any of you are having or did have burning pain around your nipples as you healed? I'm 3 weeks and 5 days out and it seems more pronounced now. Ugg! Granted I've been doing a lot more including side sleeping etc...Any suggestions on what I can put on them to make it go away? Or when did yours stop? This sensation I think is newer for me or I hadn't noticed it before now (maybe because everything else was sore I couldn't feel that too?) . I never had burning sensation before surgery.
