TriSculpt E/X

So these pictures are 6days apart and i am seeing small changes everyday. You can see the swelling subsiding in my lower back and lower abdomen. I can’t wait til i don’t have to wear the compression garments anymore. I have my one month post-op visit next week and will be switching to the 2nd garment from there. I was told at my initial follow-up appointment that they didn’t want me to get the 2nd garment then because they were pretty sure that i would still be in a large and by the time i come back for my 1 month visit that i would be in a medium so they rather I’d wait and get re-measured. Fingers crossed ???????? that I’m in a medium and that everything else is ok and healing nicely. See you guys for the 1month follow-up.

So i am finally feeling better, much less pain but still very sore. I must say the first week was absolutely horrible for me!!!! Taking off the compression garment made me feel very faint, i was moving very slow and a hard time getting up from a sitting to standing position. I did go back to work a week later and (to me) that was not a good idea, but unlike others it’s just me and i have bills to pay a child to feed ???????????. As you can see i am still very swollen, i have hard spots in my lower abdomen and flanks from where they did the lipo. I try to massage them but they hurt to push on it. I still weigh the same amount and to be honest, I didn’t do this for weight loss, i did it for the removal of the excess skin and so far so good! I wish i was told what foods to avoid to prevent the swelling and what else i could do to knead these hard spots out.

I am 17 days post-op and i am still very swollen but I am loving the results! I’m just ready for the swelling to go down and see the end results. For anyone who has had this procedure, are there any foods I should avoid to prevent swelling? I also have these hard spots in my lower abdomen and flanks. I’ve read to massage them out, but to apply pressure to those spots are so uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
