Body Lift After 150 Pound Weight Loss!

Not much to report at just over 3 weeks out. The swelling has gone down but there's still quite a bit. My outer thighs are still as painful as they were Day 1. The skin is stretched pretty tight and it makes them painful to touch. Sleeping on my sides is impossible because of this, and one thigh has a large bruise on it from something.

I can feel the tense me tight muscles where the muscle repair was done. If I walk too much it gets extremely tight and uncomfortable.

I'm still taking it easy but am able to do small errands and drive a bit. I bought a jacket yesterday at REI and had to get a men's large. That was a little disappointing, but none of the women's jackets fit across my shoulders and bust. Once I'm okay to exercise, I really want to get about 30 pounds off. I have broad shoulders, back fat, side boobs, and large breasts and it looks extra ugly with a smaller waist and nearly flat belly. I'll probably seek a breast and arm lift once I've lost the weight.

No regrets and still taking it easy. Merry Christmas everyone!

My two week post-op appointment was yesterday and went well. Things are healing very nicely and the swelling has gone down quite a bit, though there is a long way to go. I'm still not wearing the compression garment per the surgeon's instructions and am sticking to my high waisted Maidenform girdle.
I was very tired and sore after driving to my appointment, came home and took a nap. I was craving pizza so badly that I stopped and got some. It was delicious, though the swelling and bloating from all the sodium was not fun. It was still worth it because, pizza!
I bought a cropped shirt from Earthbound Trading Co. a couple of months ago and decided to try it on. I think this will look pretty cute once the swelling has gone down more. No more buying extra long tips to cover my rolls!
