One week down
So today marks 1 week after the procedure & I still have no complaints. The swelling is still going down, yeah! I was actually able to button up my pants with no problem or discomfort. I was told to wear both the garment & the wrap for 3 months. So I have been wearing the garment constantly ; but the wrap only after I leave work. It is hard for me to sit at my desk with it bending into my sides & back. I think its because I had less fat there so it is very tender, feels like my skin scrapping across my rib cage, if you can picture that, just weird feeling! I did get a couple of smaller compression garments, I purchased it from the JCP Madenform collection, So let's see wen I left the ofc. I was in 2x & now I have XL & L, I alternate between the 2, I'm guessing sometimes I am swollen more than others. I have taken the advise of others on this site. I take bromelain daily, couldn't find artichoke tea, so I use artichoke extract, tart cherry juice and multivitamin(vitamins c, e, k & zinc.) These are all suppose to aid with swelling bruising & the healing process. I am also taking the diuretic rx & drinking water. It's only been 1 week, I know the best is yet to come. I figure next week I will start doing light exercises, if Dr. says it's ok. OH I ALMOST FORGOT, HAS ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS PROCEDURE HAD CRAVINGS FOR PICKLES AND/OR SALTY CHIPS? it's really driving me crazy, not to eat or think about it!!!

I had my smart lipo triplex yesterday and I wanted a pickle since this morning. I don't know why. I did my back and waist and boy oh boy. If you don't consistently move it feels like someone is ripping you apart. I'm still holding off on the pain meds. Best of luck to you

yes, the more you move around the better it is for you. I'm guessing the pickle cravings are really just my body wanting salt. I don't think eating pickles is harmful as long as I drink lots of h20,hmmm???

I did my lipo this past Saturday December 10. OMG once that medication wore off that pain was something different. This Saturday is my second massage. After my first massage I was so sore I was told to eat pineapples because it takes away the swollen so far it seems to work. I can't wait to see my 1 month progress. Good luck and best wishes on your new self

4th day
Ok so Its been approx. 4 days, & the only complaints I have is this freaking garment rubbing my sides when I sit up!,ughh! Other than that Im jus fine. Back to normal activities, although I get tired faster @ times, but great for the most part. Stomach still feels numb to touch but I can feel my sides just fine!! Swelling decreasing, No regrets. I would recommend Dr. Carreon to my dearest friends
