49, Time for a Flat Belly

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!

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!

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.
