Abdomen Vaser lipo surgery!

I’ve been a little quiet on updating my posts recently, probably due to the fact that it’s been a busy lockdown, but also that every single day I just seem to be a different size at the moment. I’m at the point where I have no lumps anymore and my MLD lady is happy to ‘let me go’ so to say and has seen great progress, but now I feel like jelly and not at all toned. I feel like I was much smaller at Xmas time. I don’t know if the swelling has increased, or the fact I am soft now and not hard, but I can grab bits of skin/flab again and see rolls starting to form as I bend over.
I’m definitely smaller that’s for sure than when I first got lipo, but I guess I had super high expectations that I was going to be a size 8 model by the end of this and that’s obviously not where I’m at currently.
I have to keep reminding myself it’s only been 2 months, and I still have a long journey to go! On the plus side, whilst I havnt gone down a size in clothes, I do find things fit better and I look better in what I’m wearing which is good, I also feel more confident with my clothes off which is always a plus.
I still have pain in the evenings but it’s a pain I can’t even describe really, sort of like it’s hot inside my tummy, not quite pins and needles but not stabbing. I’ve started trying to eat better and exercising as well in the hope that some sort of abs will form to get some definition as I feel like a bit of a flat saucepan at the moment, wide and flat haha!
Hoping that by month 3 we will see some more changes and it not being so jelly like!

So it’s the beginning of the new year and the last few days have been a little difficult for me with my lipo journey. I’m starting to soften up again and as of Thursday (2 days ago), I havnt had to wear my foam vest, just my CG from now on! Whilst I thought this would be amazing, it’s actually been slightly mentally traumatic for me as I now seem to have developed a fear of sitting down without having my 4d foam on, Incase I develop creases. The other thing that seems to be getting to me, is the fact that I am swelling more again - not sure whether it’s that I’m more active or that I don’t have the foam on anymore, but I’m definitely bigger than I was last week that’s for sure! I had a real issue with the size at the bottom of my tummy before, and that’s seem to go bigger so just feeling a little disheartened at the moment. I’m starting to be able to pinch my tummy again which reminds me of the rolls I had, and really wishing I had more work done on my flanks and bra lines - but that’s my fault for not requesting that at the time! There also seems to be 2 lumps on my pant line that won’t go no matter how much I massage, and also a weird bit of skin / fat on the right of my belly button that I can pinch which is making my smooth silhouette not so smooth! Sensation is coming back properly now but there are days when I do get achey and stiff which gets sore and then the pins and needles come, but I guess this is all part of the recovery!
I’m hoping that by 4 weeks I will feel a little better about my figure and focus on the positive changes instead pointing out the bits that are worrying me!
You can see from the photos that I am bigger now than I was last week which was 2.5 weeks post surgery and now it is just over 3 weeks

So I’m starting to really see a shape forming, although the last few days have been really up and down.
I’m finding myself becoming more and more paranoid about not having MLD for the last week or so and also my garment marks from my 4d vest being really heavy. Dr Wolf assured me nothing to worry about and just alternate nights with the vest but still don’t like the look of the lines! I’m also finding I’ve got huge lumps on my pelvis and pants line which where I didn’t have my hips vasered, I’m very hour glass so my 4d vest is creasing in the middle and also doesn’t come to the bottom of my hips. Massaging daily so we shall see how that turns out. Getting there day by day and have to keep reminding myself there is still so much more recovery to go! Can’t wait till I don’t have to wear this vest anymore and just the CG!
Pictures are from yesterday morning as I am huge swollen and bloated today with it being Boxing Day and had 2 full days of consuming everything in sight!
