A few post op Pics
Well, I am back in action. I've been sleeping a lot and that has been wonderful. I'm starting to have a few muscle spasms in my tummy, but the valium does the trick. I am extremely pleased! The areas where they did the lipo is what I would say hurts the most. I honestly have zero complaints!
The hardest part of it all was when I had to strip down naked and they used the soapy freezing cold water to wash me down. I had not been warned about that...so now you all can say you've been warned.
Oh, the surgeon said he took 11 to 12 pounds off. How cool is that? I did get on the scale this morning and it hadn't changed, so that tells you how much swelling I have.
I've been getting in great amounts of water and protein and am just so happy with my results.
Thank you all for your love, support and prayers!

Woohoo! You look fantasic..what a difference! For three days out your scar looks really good. And 11-12 lbs is great. I am two weeks out and still have not shed all the post LBL weight, so it may take some time. Keep pushing the fluids and protein and you will do great.

Sounds like you are doing terrific and your pics look incredible! So glad you are on the other side of this now and on the mend. As for the lipo, I hear that causes some nerve pain and additional swelling b/c the manipulation of the tissues is well.. harsh. So hang in there it will get better... You terrific and that swelling comes and goes with activity, heat, salt consumption.. but eventually it does go down.. or so they say! :-)
Hugs, Melissa
