So i made it to week 2. It has not been as bad as i thought it would be. The only thing i dont like is the swelling. it is discouraging because i feel like i am bigger than when i started but the doctor has assured me that this is normal. I have my follow up appointment this afternoon so he can tell me for sure and have a look.
I have a noticeable difference in my braline. its down 2 inches which is good but thats it. everywhere else is bigger.
Today is my first day without the compression garment. I dont think i will leave it off for very long. It feels very strange without it on.
I went to work 3 days after i had the surgery which i think i should have teken time off. but i was able to do it it just was not ideal.

So i took 2 week photos today. Not a huge difference because i am still way swollen. I saw the doctor today and he said that it will slowly but surely go down and that my shape looks a whole lot better. Over all I am pleased as long at the swelling goes down.

I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing now that it's been a little while. Did your swelling go down? I have my procedure this Thur!!! Are you happy with your results? Any new pics?

thurs.. that exciting. I am happy with the results thus far but am hoping that the swelling does go down more. I am not yet at full top shape. its still tender to run. I will not get before and after pics til july. I decided not to do my own til then cuz i do not want to get discouraged. i am more even now so my shape is for sure better but i fell like maybe i should be smaller but that could also be due to swelling.

what did you decide to get done?

Yeah, I've heard it can be discouraging since the procedure is always made out to be a "quick result" when in reality its quite a process. I will be having abd and flanks done. I have some brutal love handles and back boobs going on lol. Well I will make a review when I get it done :)

So i am done with day 6. it has been an interesting recovery. I only took 4 days off work and i wish i had more. it is not painful more uncomfortable. because i have an active job where im on my feet for 8+hours i am super tired afterwards. there is a lot of swelling. thank goodness for the awful compression garment. i have a love hate relationship with it. i hate it when its on but cannot wait to put it back on after my shower. i have one more week before i can start taking it off for more time. the only complaint i have is the swelling. i was not prepaired for it. i knew that there would be some but it doesnot seem to get better. i am really impatient. I will post pictures soon hopefully. i have not taken any after pics yet because the swelling. but once it starts to go down i will get them up.
