7 weeks out lbl/bl- swelling is going down!!
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.
