POST OPERATION 3 WEEKS... Slowly getting there!!!

Sorry guys I have been off the radar for a couple of days but I have been busy and tried to make sure I heal properly. So to give you my update three weeks post operation. Everything is going well so far. I continue with my massages had already 5 hours of intense massage plus 5 hours of acupuncture. Still another 5 each to go. My swelling went down a lot it's only now gathered below my belly button and above the groin area but the massage lady does amazing job breaking all the remaining swollen areas which is nothing else than concentrated fluid, fat, blood and scar tissue. Every single time we finish the massage they feel so much softer and next day the swelling goes down a lot so happy with that. I feel hopefully that in the next two weeks a lot of it will go away. My flanks are now soft but there is still a bit of scar tissue left. I believe my recovery is really good with just three weeks post operation but my expectations are really high. Now the only area of a bit of a concern is my appetite. The last week or so I am extremely hungry can't satisfy myself with food. Of course I still eat clean but my portions are bigger and I always feel hungry. Never felt so hungry for years. I weighted myself in the gym and I am only 1kg more than before the operation and that can be water, fluid etc. I spoke to my gym trainer about it and he told me that probably my body is trying to heal thus I need more food. Started my new gym programme too. I went back to the gym after 1.5 weeks post operation and felt OK. Now three weeks post operation and we started our normal routine. Obviously my objectives have changed completely so working very closely with him to try and get my body where I want it to be in the next three months. My skin elasticity is good but I find a bit of skin hanging around here and there, good news is not loose but there is no fat inside maybe a bit of liquid which hopefully will be absorbed by my system in the next few weeks. I don't think that I have developed any seromas, I did try to drain it with a syringe but nothing came out... The waiting game is awful for the swelling to go down, the skin to retract the muscles to build etc. Overall I am very happy so far with the result but I believe that my body will change still a lot in the next couple of weeks and months together of course with my intense gym work outs. Will keep you posted.

My first MLD Massage...

LondonMan
Today I had my first MLD massage and God is so worth it. I went to a Chinese local medical massage shop, discussed my situation with the therapist and then started my 1 hour MLD. I wasn't in pain just tiny bit sore especially around the abdominal, other than that I truly loved it. I believe my own ultrasound massages helped reduce the swelling too and relieve some of the discomfort so I intend to keep doing them.
After I finished the therapist suggested me to do 10 one hour massages combined with also 1 hour of acupuncture which is very suitable for reducing the swelling. It didn't come cheap but I am determined to invest a bit more money on my after care as I am confident it will greatly help my recovery and also give me much better results.
I have loaded a picture on straight after my massage. I am still only a week away from the operation and I can see gradually the bruising and swelling going down and get more definition day by day. Feeling amazing after the massage so guys do not spare money from doing them..

POST OPERATION DAY 7

LondonMan
My dear "Swelling" I hate you loll... For the last few days I see day by day changes, I see the bruising slowly disappearing but the swelling is still there which makes me a bit dishearted. Especially when you feel you do all the right things including rest, food, water, arnica, bromelain, ultrasound massages etc. And still the swelling doesn't want to go down a lot... I am so thankful at least that I read many similar cases here and know roughly what to expect otherwise I would feel really bad... What is the right answer to this? Someone will probably say y, time is the right answer... Tomorrow I am having my first MLD lets see..

It's great you are seeing changes day by day despite the swelling just keep doing what you are doing and the swelling will go the body has gone through a very invasive operation as long as each day is better than the last its progress.
March 1, 2016
Thanks darling but now it comes to life what I read with others that one day you see good changes and the next you are again swollen. Do you guys think that even how the garment is attached and placed on the body places important part of the shape of the skin? Cos as we move around the garment makes all these lines so I wonder if I shouldn't be worrying about that but wear it more for its help with the swelling?
March 4, 2016
Well I am only 1 day post but I don't think the garment making lines would be doing much as its to help compress from the swelling how often were you told to wear it, I got told at least a week 24/7 and then at least a few weeks 12 hours a day. I can't work out for at least 6 weeks as had fat transfer to breast so needing to let as much of that take as possible so just walking for me for a while hopefully the results are worth it, oh the things we do haha
