lipo mornings

Question for everyone. I am 19 days po and when I wake in the morning I am so damn sore in all of my lipo areas. First thing I feel like I got hit by a truck and then once I am up for about 5 minutes the pain subsides a little bit. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm 6 weeks post op and I still feel bruised inside from the lipo on my upper abs and obliques. My PS said it was normal. I mostly feel sore when I bend over to much or from the band of my garment pressing on my sides. I also feel soreness in my abs from the muscle repair if I stretch too much or when I sneeze. I was worried about too until I went to my appt on last Tuesday and PS said it was normal. I wish I could get past the dang swelling. You look great by the way.

Swelling is just horrible lol and I also am so sore in those areas and I cannot wait till it all subsides. I know that everyone I read and talk to all have the same issues and it is all swelling and lipo. the tummy tuck area is a piece of cake :) I am going to try and update some pictures today for 3 weeks PO just hoping some swelling will go down!

Hi Hunny!!! I was checking on you! Im 8 days po and this time really flys! Im feeling a lot better due to the doctor switching me in a better cover garnment. I got my back drain removed but the two fronts are still hanging around with me. Im not draining a lot so I will get them out Monday for sure. What type of garnment are you wearing and is the compression good? Also, for the lipo you should be getting some massages to keep the skin even and help with the results. I go to the office for my first massage tomorrow and hopefully another on Monday. After that I have to try to maintain them when I go home and try to eat healthy and eventually start my work outs! Im so happy with my results my waist is tiny and Im still swollen, so I can only imagine. This is really worth the pain and suffering. We deserve it especially after carrying our beautiful children. lol

hey beautiful! Thank you for checking on me I am doing great for 3 weeks PO. I still hurt but everyday gets a little bit better. I am going to try and updates some pictures today. I have a couple of different garments that I use. I have tank top garments and some that have full coverage and button in the crotch area. personally I think they all suck because anything that is so tight on our bodies is not that comfortable lol but if it makes my results flawless I will settle for discomfort for a while. I am so happy with your results. You look great and swelling sucks for us all. It is the worst. Beauty is definitely pain and women don't get off easy that is for damn sure. I would love massage but damn my lipo areas hurt the most. If the pain would mellow out in those areas I would for sure start massaging lol. cant wait to see some more pics and like I said I will try and update today. much love :)

Im going to get my first massage on my back and sides tomorrow, I will let you know how that goes! Im just hoping it wil help my back to feel better! I know finding a garnment is hard,especially one that is comformtable, have you tried spanx garments? ........oh and yes, just make you a appointment in your town to get you back and lipo areas massaged, it hurts but everyone says that it makes your results better. i cant find my belly button.....what should I do? It is sunk in and I dont know what it looks like...i think its closing and its too soon for me to stick something in there right? my bf gave me some ear plugs can i put those in there?

I would definitely ask your PS. I never had anything from day 1 in my bb. I am so sorry i have no idea, and I didnt even know that could happen :( I wouldn't recommend sticking anything in it until your PS says its ok because you don't want to risk injuring yourself. don't wait though I would talk to him immediately love!

lol, no Im sorry. There is nothing in my bellybutton, but I cant see it because of the swelling and I was wondering if I should put a ear plug in there to keep it open? I know some people use a marble. I wish I did not have this problem because I see a lot people on here that can see there bb right away. Mine is hiding from the swelling, its deep in. ;(

Don't worry honey the swelling will go down. I wouldn't recommend putting anything in it though. Just let your body do its thing. You are going to be gogeous when all of this healing is done. Btw waiting for your updates and some more pics :) hope to see some soon!
