9 weeks 5 days PO new pics

This procedure has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. The procedure itself was tough and had it's own challenges during the recovery but everything that I have felt has been so worth the way I feel right now. My confidence is coming back and I've been able to start working out recently which is a nice feeling. I still swell sometimes after working out or after a long day at work but that is to be expected. I focus more on what I am eating so I can keep this motivation going but for anyone deciding if this is what they want to do I can't explain enough how good of a decision this was. Best of luck to all you ladies on your journey :-)

Well I am 32 days post op and I started back to work this past Tuesday which has been a challenge because this past weekend was an extremely demanding weekend at work. I have been feeling quite well, still really sore on my legs and my stomach has swelling which I know is to be expected. Trying to figure out what is normal and what is bad swelling has been something that I've struggled with. I am a nervous person by nature so every time I see that I have swelling I get nervous wondering if it is normal. I'm trying to focus on being positive and waiting for the final outcome whenever it appears. I switched from my comfortable safe CG to one that is easier to wear during work hours and it does not limit my swelling as much as my other one but I change into my more comfortable one as soon as I get home. Anywho 32 days PO and I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to do this! My husband has been amazing and helped so much through this experience :-). Hope all of you ladies are doing well and I will add more pictures hopefully tomorrow

Today I am 16 days PO and I got my first lymphatic massage and honestly it felt really weird during because I'm still so numb some places but it really helped me especially in the Lipo areas. I can feel a difference already in the scar tissue and how it is helping to break it down better. I think I will make this a regular thing for awhile to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Yesterday I had my 2nd check up and my PS is awesome, along with his staff but especially his medical assistant. She is very funny and thought it was amusing when I mentioned that some days I feel as if my belly button is being eaten by my stomach lol. Anywho my PS did a test to make sure I didn't have any fluid build up and I don't so I'm very pleased with that aspect although the test was no fun lol. A needle in your stomach I guess shouldn't sound fun though but I was glad to hear it was only normal swelling going on.

I still have good days and bad days but yesterday I was able to do quite a bit since it was one of my boys birthdays we threw him his party and had fun but last night I was feeling the pain from all the activity. I didn't take any pain meds just relaxed and let it pass. I hope everyone else is doing great :-). Oh and I ordered my silicone sheet for my scar therapy which I will start next week or so when my scar is fully healed. But that's it for now :-). My PS is great.
