I just started back working out with my INSANITY!! I am still not able to get in to smaller clothes but I believe this is because I ate too much during holidays while laying around and then got the flu....more laying around. I am the exact same weight as when I had my surgery so now I am on a liquid protein diet with 1 solid green(organic) meal in the evening. Plenty of water and low cal juices as well as my multi vitamins. I have until April 18 to drop at least 17lbs!
I am still glad I had the surgery but I wish I had gotten flank lipo with it.....

I am almost 6 weeks post op and I still have to wear my compression garment about 8 hrs a day. I am still a bit swollen and am frustrated that I cannot get in to my jeans yet and I have not gone down a size. When does this change? I have been eating lots of citrus and started my scar treatment although my scar is extremely tiny. I really was looking forward to at least going down one pant size and am very surprised that hasnt happened!

Hello, please read what I posted this morning, I hope it helps you. I am 6 weeks PO also, and felt the same way you are feeling. You are right, this is a very hard journey, in my opinion, the healling process and recovery time is the worst! The surgery was a breeze, but the swelling and looking at other peoples pics and thinking, why r they so flat and I am not is a real bummer. Each day it gets better, I promise you.

Oh, sorry, one more thing, I wear my garment day and night, still

Hang in there , my changes have also been less dramatic than some, but just like you my preop belly was not as dramatic ( hope that makes sense).
