3 weeks!!!! Swelling going down I see my new curves developing!! Healing well but cheating at night in a spanx type suit .... I love my sleep!!!! I do recommend the lipoexpress brand suits, I really started seeing my shape develop after using them and they are 200000 times more comfy than the suit the dr gave me and gives smoother results you'll see your skin takes on the shape and lumps and bumps of your garment so the smoother the better. From my phone again but wanted to give some update pics!!!! Getting happier I did this! I do have my days where I wonder if I wasted my money but then the times I see my curves I tear up lol ???? ttyl

DAY 6- First day back to work
AtlshawtApril 15, 2014
Ok so being on my feet was NOT the business! I may have pushed myself too hard because by the end of the day I was hurting and doing the grandma shuffle out of the building! I hadn't been taking my percocet but I did put my feet up and took one once I got home with my Arnica pills and gel and I'm feeling better-
If your returning to work and I have a career where I'm up and down and moving (not too much and not to strenuous) and I was still pretty swollen and sore not that even 6 days in you'll need to take it easy! I still cant bend forward and even some positions are hell! My skin still hurts but my incisions are closing and healing are are barely there!!!

Congrats!!!!!! And welcome to the world of lipo.,,,.PLEASE remain in or garment. I actually purchased one slightly bigger to sleep in just cause mine hurt solo much. (I don't recommend this, but I did it).your swelling should go down soon, rest and put your feet up when ever possible. I used to put my trash can under my desk @ work and prompt my feet (no one ever knew). Soon, you will probably be advise to get another garment, by then your body should be at a point where you want to keep it on because it feels better. Drink lots of h2o, eat healthy, avoid too much soduim and rest well....I'm having a second procedure on my abs plus my hips done in June... I'm solo excited!!! Any who, Happy Healing sista girl!

Hey girl! I just viewed or photos. You look good! Your body is doing what its supposed to be. I see a BIG difference already. You should try on a belt or something old so you can see for yourself. ******* warning, you may swell and gain a few pounds initially, but don't get scared, it will all go down, be patient , your results are on the way....,Enjoy!!..

You are looking fantastic! I am 4 days post op myself and totally sympathizing with you. Looking forward to the rest of your recovery story and pics! Was wondering if you are experiencing that tight skin feeling on day 6... I feel as tho my skin is so tight I jus might bust open... especially when rising from a sitting position to standing... hoping that goes away very soon!

It wasn't really tight but my skin did hurt to the touch!!! Now it's just lumpy and sore in places

Thanks for sharing. Was it just lipo you had? My procedure is in a few weeks.
