arms 2 weeks post op. post op doc appt update
so i went to see the doc thursday for my post op check up he says im healing well. im a bit discouraged because i feel big. my jeans are fitting again but im just not where i want to be. the doc said thats normal. he took a liter of fat out of each arm and 1.6 liters from my stomach. he says my fat was tough to get out which is why im so sore. he said 1/20 patients he works on has this kind of tough visceral fat. he said i should expect to actually get bigger and look worst these next two weeks and then my results should start showing. blah... im not that patient. my stomach looks a hot mess and lumpy right now. i got out of the shower today and my 3 year old felt the need to say, "mommy your tummy looks disgusting." lol gotta love the kids and their honesty. heres some pics of my arms as of today. not posting any pics of this hot meas of a stomach right now
9 days post op
So i wanted to give you all an update on how ive been. To sum it all up ive been very sore. i can move around without pain but going from the sitting to standing postion is horrible. Also, laying down is painful so i havent been getting good sleep. im also very tender. The slightest touch on my arm, love handles or mid section hurts like hell. i was extremely swollen for the past week. i have not been able to put on a pair of pants since the surgery. my love handles are swollen and sore so putting on jeans is out of the question. I think i was holding on to water. I was drinking a gallon a day and barely using the bathroom, until yesterday. I was running to pee every 5 minutes. I am concerned becuase i have actually gained weight since the surgery. But hopefully its just because of the swelling. I am still concerned that my compression garment is too big. it has never fit snug, not even the day of surgery. I got some great advice from "readyforsummer" one of the blog users here. She recommended getting an ab board, topi foam and using an ace bandage because my gut was bulging. I felt like it wasnt compressing enough. so i started to use all three tools and the difference is mind blowing. I also ordered a smaller garment because as she put it, "i paid too much money not to get the results i want over something minor like a cg" Woke up this more and took some pics. I am very happy with my results so far! excited to see myself 6 weeks post op.
Nutty Professor Hands.
Okay im starting to worry my hands and lower arms are soo swollen. They feel extremely tight. Im drinking plenty of water so i dont think thats the problem. i think my cg is cutting off my circulation. or maybe everything from my upper arm is just draining downward. Its painful to the touch because my skin is so tight. i posted some pics of my hands. does this look normal?
