All I can say compare these pics with the ones I posted the night before surgery!! What a huge difference.
I can now fit into my pre surgery pants. They are snug in the lower belly but getting looser in the thigh area. My lower belly is so freggin swollen!
I'm wearing the compression garment from the doc all day & then I sleep in my spanx. The garment from the doc compresses so well that I can't sleep in it. I tried one night & I was so uncomfortable. I see a huge difference in how it fits. After surgery it was so tight on my thighs that it was painful but now it fits well while compressing thighs without pain. It def does a better job of compressing my tummy than the spanx do & as a plus it has a trap door so I wear my panties over it & therefore restroom breaks during the day are a breeze.
That's important since I drink tons of water. Even before surgery & docs orders I was a huge water drinker.
My boobs aren't as bruised anymore but they still look weird. Lol. I had to put band aids over my nipples because they were hyper sensitive. Even having them touch my bra was almost painful. They say that goes away in a couple months.
Other than aches and pains from lipo & some sore boo snow & then I feel great. I'm just patiently waiting for all the swelling to go away, which can take months...ugh...patience is not my strong suit!
I hope you are all doing well :)

Wow! Excited to see your results, looking great already! Did you lipo flanks too? Which hurt worse? Lipo flanks or thighs?

I did flanks, hips, thighs (tops, inner & outter). The thighs was the worst. It was excruciating!

I just want to cry I'm so happy. Even though I still have stretch marks I DONT CARE! My stomach looks amazing & with crazy swelling. It is so tight & I can almost even see some definition. My doc says over the next few months it will continue to improve.
I can't wait to go shopping for my very first two piece bathing suit!
