Not Sure if I See a lot of Change - 3 mos post
13 days Post op
So I went in for my 1 week post op app last week. The doctor said everything looked great! He gave me some interesting info though. He said my stomach would get a bit bigger for healing purposes and around day 21 I should begin to see my skin retracting.
He of course wanted me to realize that I am not going to see tummy tuck results. I told him I understood but it's so hard to get an idea of what to expect with my skin.
He said I should be pleasantly surprised once I see the retraction begin, so let's see what the heck happens here. I did have some swelling that occurred after the visit. I had to put on his XL garment to get some relief.
My ankles and feet are no longer swelling and I am in less pain. My stomach is still very tender and so is my back. However, I am looking much better in my clothes.
People at work keep saying "you're so tiny" and I don't even know how to respond. LOL! I just say thanks...I have never heard those words associated with me so it's just hard for me to absorb. :)
My weight fluctuated a bit. My nurse practitioner at the weight loss clinic said that I should expect a gain while my body adjusts to the tumescent fluid. I was 157 pre surgery. 168 a couple days Post surgery and now I am back down to 154. I have 3 more weeks of my fat burning diet with a goal to get into the 140s.
I can do some light exercise starting tomorrow but my goal will be on toning...not a bunch of cardio.
Ok...enough about me..let's get to some pics...do you see any differences? I see a little bit...
Only time will tell.

5 days Post Op
So I am swelling in different places. Seems like I lose a pound of water a day which is great but I will be glad when the pain is gone and that I can see some results.
Again, not expecting a miracle but I do expect something...I don't know why I am so impatient with my body.
I have my medium compression garment on now. I am trying something new, which is to lift my stomach up instead of folding the loose skin downward into the garment. Perhaps that will help the skin heal a little differently.
My lower back is killing me but I don't see any bruising. I do see bruising on my stomach and i massage it with a little bio oil everyday, just to see what happens. I am looking forward to exercising a bit to help build some muscle. This flab is crazy.
Tomorrow i am going back on my fat loss plan. I am doing 30 more days then calling it quits. Let's see if I can get close to 140.

My doctor has been amazing so far. So has all of the office staff. My plan is to have the procedure Tuesday and go back to work Friday.
