i am glad the swelling is getting better for you. i am definitely a #' person and have been very frustrated with mine. i am 6 weeks out today and my waist is still 4" bigger than it was preop.

Glad to hear your swelling is going down....I'm not too far behind you and can't believe how swollen I STILL am! I can't wait for it to go down and I can wear my skinny jeans again. Starting to feel like a bag woman in my yoga pants everyday!

It does get better, it just takes time.  Laura you are doing great.  Take it easy this next week.  Work knocked me on my butt those first few weeks back.

I'm 7 mo out and I'm back in my compression garment at night.  Maybe it's just the summer heat, but if I want to look good during the day, I wear my garment at night.  I was wearing stretchy  terrycloth pants, until 2 mo out, then switched to yoga pants.  I think I was 3mo out before I could get back into my size 9 jeans, and not have them hurt.  Now, they all fit.  I didn't go down any sizes, but only had 3lbs of skin and a liter of fat removed.  My clothes all fit much better now.  Mostly in medium tops instead of large due to the floppy boobs and muffin top which both are gone now and the perky bewbies generally fit the medium tops, unless they are cut very small.  I love my new body, even wearing dresses, short skirts and heels.
