New tips and tricks for progress
As I try to get used to this new belly and get rid of the small but annoying pouch that i have left I thought I'd share a few tips that i think have helped me recently.
1. Keep your compression garmet on at all times, if not you can get a crease
2. Massage yourself- I had so many hard spots in my belly and especially my back until I asked my hubby about 2 weeks ago to message it. Like magic things started falling in place, stomach would go down faster and I wasn't as stiff. I would also message myself as much as possible
3.Water- keeps you peeing and fluids out
4. Exercise! - the weight is falling off so fast before the surgery I was a 16 now I'm a 12..changing my diet and doing yoga or walking 2 to 3 times a week has helped.
5. Fiber pills- has helped me stay regular and get rid of waster
6. WAIST TRAINER- I've waist trained or about 7 years now, way bofore this huge craze but I was always scared to use it after Lipp but I think it's helped shape me even more. I sweat like hell which has helped get rid of the pouch and by morning my stomach looks wondeful. I train may 2 to 3 days a week

1 month post op!
So I've posted on goid days and bad days. At this point I can bend, sleep well, walk fast, etc. Finally starting to feel like myself again. After my last drain 2 weeks ago, I vowed to change my diet and I have. Of course I've had a few dabs in bad stuff but mostly salads. I went to the doc today and didn't have much fluid left at all, but he drained me anyway. Just like I like. So all is coming together nicely, even tho I'm healing slowly. I'm just excited. Belive it or not tho, I still don't feel as good as I thought I would. I still have significant fat to lose in my arms and legs. Just goes to show that happiness is a state of mind and confidence is too. So I'm gonna keep working on me!
I will say, I wore a pair of drawstring pants without my girdle and now I have a crease in my stomach. Doc said it would go away but we will see...

Dr. Henok Araya
Met with him once..very nice a little fast talking at times which can be a turn off but he was very knowledgable about black skin which was a plus for me.
