31 Years Old, Liposuction, San Diego, CA

I'm 1 week post op today and I'm starting to get frustrated with the swelling. I'm only seeing a minor difference in my stomach, I know the swelling takes time to go down.....but I thought I would see more of a difference by now. I'm trying to be patient but the more days that pass, the harder it gets :( I have my first post op appointment tomorrow so we'll see what the doctor says......I also have one incision that doesn't want to heal. 4 of them look great and are barely noticeable while 1 stubborn one wants to stay open....errrrrrr........

Itching has gone down.......swelling has stayed about the same. I'm down 1 pound on the scale, but know they took over 6 pounds of fat.......I'm eating healthy and honestly don't have much of an appetite. I was able to sleep on my side while hugging a pillow last night. Pain is slowly going down, changing positions is when I feel the most pain, when I sit or lay still there is no pain. I had my first bowel movement this morning and it was very uneventful, barely anything came out and I'm feeling really bloated so hopefully today I have more relief. I go back to work tomorrow and I feel ready.

I'm sure my incisions are healing, which is why they are itchy......but having this garment on and not being able to scratch is driving me bonkers!! Lol

I'm 3 days post op and no longer taking pain meds.....pain is still there, but minimal. Sitting is uncomfortable because my lower tummy is the most sore and when sitting it feels like that is where all the pressure is. Laying or standing there is very minimal pain. I have been receiving daily emails from my doctor and today's said that because of swelling I can look the same or bigger than before surgery and that this is normal. Well I actually look slightly smaller than before surgery, so that makes me happy........still anxious to see a big difference.....but I guess I have to wait........
