Girl you look wonderful!!    I wish I looked as tiny as you even with the swelling! LOL  I keep stepping on the scale ( i know bad idea) hoping the numbers will go down!!  They removed almost 10 pounds and my scale has yet to move. At least my feet aren't as puffy but I was hoping to at least see the scale come down a couple of pounds.  I swear last night I felt soooo swollen I could hardly breathe!  I was more active yesterday which may have had something to do with it but for the most part it's not going anywhere.  I knew this would happen so I am TRYING to be patient.  I'm just waiting for the day when I notice a difference in the swelling.  Maybe I need to drink even more water and see if that helps.

I think it is *awesome* that you did a progression of the day with the swelling, something I have not seen here yet, talk about educational for those having this surgery in the future, esp in hotter climates! I am sure part of your swelling is the humidity even though u are in the AC... I gotta say tho, you are dang tiny even swollen! I am sure it got bad at one point like you said but your waist is WITTLE! hello... wow girlie what a knock out you are!!!  Thanks for posting these.. it really does help us to see how much swelling is a factor during the recovery period.  124 degrees... is there such a thing as a meltatude? my Gosh... Ridiculous. I. would. die.  I am such a baby like I said.. as you all well know LOL

I can't see your pictures but I will tell you, after I had my LBL my butt was FLATTTTTT after the year it bounced (sorry only word I could think of lol) back, my husband was very happy, he later said for a while there I thought you just weren't gonna have a butt , however it is just because they pull everything so tight and it takes awhile for your body to adjust.

 Thank you for the friend request,as far as the rear view goes it will come back, I am 2 years out from my LBL and I felt the same way. My PS tells me every time I see him"patients is a virtue you do not have, lucky for you i do. LOL I love him and am so lucky I found him. I will keep praying for you for speedy results. Please keep me posted I love now following others progress.

You look fan - flipping - tastic!!!!!!

I'm sure the extreme heat is adding to the swelling.  WOW 124 degrees! I'm going to stop complaining about the 95 degrees we have everyday.
