12 Weeks Post-Op & on the Slopes

WORTH IT$9,000
I'm a little over 12 weeks now from full TT and Lipo of flanks. Went skiing today and was surprised that I didn't have any pain. I was really tired and quit early, but it was much better than I expected. I did wear my compression garment, which seems to help. I still get sharp pains when I'm in bed and I turn over. I think I pulled some muscles a couple weeks ago, or its nerve endings that hurt. Sometimes it really burns above my belly button. I guess I have no excuses for not exercising now :(
Overall, I'm really happy with my results. I wish my skin was tighter when I lean over, but unfortunately, I'm not 25 anymore!

4 Weeks Post

Went back to work teaching this week. The only way I'm surviving is by going to bed really early, Monday was harder than I thought it would be. I have to be on my feet a lot. I was sore and so tired by 3:00! It's gettting easier, but I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm more swollen and I can't drink at much water as I'd like while at work, due to being stuck in classroom.
I keep looking at myself in the mirror and can't believe how good I look. Totally worth it!

Two Weeks Post TT

I've made it to the two week mark. I feel better everyday. Hardly ever need any Tylenol anymore-only before bed. I still can only stand up straight a short time before it becomes too tight. Been sleeping on my side with a little pillow under my side to support my belly from the stretchy feeling. I hated sleeping on my back since it made my knees start to ache.
I walked around my block on Monday and wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it back home. Since then, I've had more of a pulling sensation above my navel. Probably too much too soon.
I woke up early this morning because my back was so itchy. I have a tank top under the compression garment, but it still rubs. Tonight I rubbed Palmers all over myself.
I think drinking tons of water (2liters or more a day) and getting up a lot from the beginning have really helped. I get tired after lunch, and definitely rest a lot, but the process is easier than I thought it would be.

It seems to come from the inside. Might be nerves coming back to life. I went for a longer walk today and felt stronger, although I'm do slow!
