Thanks for taking the time to come back and update! Wow wow wow! Such great results. I'm glad you commented about sex too because that's one of the things I'm wondering about, lol! I hate that you haven't found comfortable compression - are you using like an ab board or lipo foam? That may help. I bet that boning is really uncomfortable. I'm so excited for you and jealous at the same time.
Lol!! You're next sis, the time is almost here! I do use an ab board. I wear it 23/7 no matter what else I wear with it. I've tried every thing you'll see, there's no such thing as constant compression AND comfortability :(
Are you happy? It looks great!
Yes I'm very happy!! I'm going through swell hell but I'm still in love with my results
Hey! How is it going? Just checking to see how you're healing. My pre op appointment is Monday and I am terrified! Been thinking about backing out with my scary self.
Oh hell no!!! You won't back out!! You've been after this as long as I have sis! It's your time! I promise it not as bad or painful as it seems. You got this! Now go get it!!!!
Post us an update with pictures!
Your pictures are fantastic! I'm scheduled for Sept 15th and you and I have the same body type. What was your before and after height and weight? Thanks
215 before 225 after. You're probably like "what???!!! How did that happen??" I say the same thing too!! How is that humanly possible?? Well, yes... I am 10 lbs heavier. I checked every week during healing and I average the same 225. I am almost 7 months post now and I have recently started working out more hard core and I've lost 5 pounds.

SNATCHED SNACK!!!

Let me start by saying Dr. Song is a beast!!!! I'm so in love with my results and I still have a ways to go. My swelling started to go down in the first couple of weeks, then I went to work on my part-time job when I was about 3 weeks post and the swelling started again. I stand the whole time on that job and my body wasn't used to it because when I was on leave, I truly rested! I didn't want botched looking results like I've seen in the past. I wanted the best results I could get! So going to work at 3 weeks was actually very easy. I filed a leave of absence for my full-time job for 3 1/2 weeks and returning to it, where I sit down all day, was easy also. My full time job have me working from home until I can return to the office. I think I'll ride that out until I have no choice to return. Ha!
So back to these results. The itching is gone since most incisions have closed. The swelling is okay. I try to stay hydrated. I had sex with my partner at 2.5 weeks, that was a bust!! Lol he and I both felt it was too soon once the "getting got good"! Waaaay too scared to climax. Tried again at 4 weeks, and feeling. So sex is out right now. I still get tired just by walking for long periods. I went to Walmart the other day and midway through shopping, I needed the buggy for support. My back hurts. The pulling from my stomach is still quite noticeable. Kate told me to stand with my back against the wall and try to get my shoulders to touch the wall and hold about 10 seconds everyday. You don't understand how hard that is for me!!! It's a workout! But it's a good stretch too. It's helping and I'm getting better every day.
What else, I can't eat as much as I used to. Honey I can through down when it comes to some soul cooking. Not any more! I feel like I'm gonna pop and I've barely ate!

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE being wrapped up 23/7!!! I had about 6 different waist trainers when I started this journey plus my binder from surgery. 2 don't fit any more since the swelling went down. I went from XL to L now I'm M/L and dropping a the swelling lessens. Don't get rid of the binder!! It's the one of two compressions I can wear to bed and not be irritated on my sides. The waist trainers have the metal bones in them and they start to dig in my sides. You can see in the pics my sides are still no healing. I change it up at night.

I still have back fat rolls that I see myself having liposuctioned soon. I'm just not excited about adhering wearing a binder or waist trainer for a year lol.

Wait you have to wear the trainer for a year
Yes but not continuously. I'm almost 7 months post op and the swelling is bad!! I'm so scared I'm going to stretch those muscles back out, so I wear it alot around the house.
Ok. Has your weight loss pic up anymore?
Thanks for giving us all the good and bad post surgery,it sounds like a lot you just have to stay focused and trust the process,thanks so much for being honest ❤️

Can't sleep...Lipo incisions itch!!!

Pics taken yesterday. I itch like I'm on crack at night!! Each lipo entry, as pointed out on one of my sides in the picture, itch so much while I'm trying to sleep. I have not slept through the night since the anesthesia wore off. That's correct! I haven't slept a full night's sleep in about 8 or 9 days!!! I wake up scratching for 2-3 hours every single night. I sleep in the binder and I have to get creative to reach the itch and be careful not to rip off the skin because the areas near my bra line are still numb.
