almost 7wks PO! 20lbs down The Woodlands, TX

Hey fellow Tummy Tucker's it's been awhile since my last update. I've been really busy with my online classes and my family. Well I'm down 20lbs and doing great. My hips are still a little swollen from the Lipo and will probably be that way until I'm at 6 months. Anyway my last PO appointment went very good everything is looking great. I will have a thin scar and I no longer need to wear my compression garment. I have been cleared for exercise including Ab work :) I must say that I'm a little nervous about working out because I don't want to over stretch anything so I'm going to start off slow. I've been sick with a cold and cough for the past week so hopefully I can start my new routine by the end of the week. Anyways I hope you all are helping well ttyl! :)

One month since my surgery already! It seems time has flown by. I recently bought some new PO garments like I like. But I'm still wearing my binder at night. My incision looks good I have a small spot near the middle that looks a little weird but I'm not too worried about it. My hips are still swollen and are starting to get on my nerves because it seems like they aren't going to get any smaller. I'm still a little tender n my sides by my ribs and hips from the Lipo. My next appointment is on the 20th so I'm going to address my hips issue then I guess. I feel like I'm being not picky but I know I didn't pay for something that's going to bother me. Lol maybe it's too soon but I want to make sure. I have lost 15lbs but my thighs are still swollen a little and I can't wear my pre-op jeans yet... Has anyone had this happen to them? It's freaking me out a little, anyway I hope all of my fellow tummy Tucker's are doing well ttyl :)

Hey everyone!! I'm three weeks PO today. Time has gone by pretty fast, I went trick or treating with the hubby and kiddos last night. I wasn't sure if I would make the whole trip because it's about 2 miles or so, maybe a little more. I was able to walk the whole way which was awesome! I was very proud of myself because lately when I have walked I couldn't go very far because I was getting a tightening feeling in my tummy. Anyways I thought I would share that with you guys, I have started sleeping on my sides every now and then when I can't fall asleep on my back. I didn't realize how much I've missed my memory foam bed! I am so glad I moved to my bed because I was getting uncomfortable on my chaise in the living room. I'm still sleeping elevated though... When did you guys try sleeping flat? Or even on your stomach? When did you guys see your final results? was it six weeks, six months, or a year? Im getting a little picky about my hips I'm hoping that they will get smaller as I get further along in my journey! Did anyone else do this with the Lipo on their hips? My CG is getting on my nerves right now! It keeps riding up and bunching I have three more weeks with this CG. Don't get me wrong I like it because it makes me feel secure when wearing it but it irritates my skin underneath it where it rubs also. My PS said I could get a stage 2 garment from a website he recommends but I don't like the price for them or the fact that they have a zipper or flap to pee through so I stick it out for three more weeks and be done with it lol. Sorry guys I needed to vent a little... Anyways I hope everyone is healing well and everyone who is about to go in for surgery I wish you good luck :)
