Laser Lipo- Day 17

I have not forgotten about this blog! The app on my phone no longer allows me to post. So I will update day 14/17 pics later on. The swelling on the flanks have gone down to bruising as if you hit something hard and then you bruise and heal. The scarring on the left side of my body has healed real well! The right side bled more than the left but I expect good results there too.

Im real pleased I left both bands on and cant wait for Friday to go down to 12 hours of wearing :)

I broke the alcohol fast for one night when visiting friends in San Diego (sorry to let any fans down)

Laser Lipo - Day 12

Bye bye bruises!  Ok so in 11 days I lost my bruises...I still have numb feelings in my sides.  My strength has taken a hit, but being able to do pushups I have decided to break them out in groups of 25.

So I'm loving what I see right now.  I'm keeping the band on.  I fly to LA this Friday - Mon  (Ooooh no Tommy Burgers :-/ ).  9 days left and then I go from 24/7 tightness to 12 hour tightness (I may add full days here and there to make up for the 4 days drop I had).

Would I do it again?  So far the answer is yes, but I WOULD LEAVE BOTH UNDERGARMENT AND BANDS ON ME!  (again, listen to your doctors recommendation).

Laser Lipo - Day 11

Itchiness on skin is wearing off...massaging sides as often as possible...I have to adjust the abdominal strap often at work to ensure it keeps to the luv handles...I miss blogging about other things on my mind, but keeping to it :-)

Laser Lipo - I know...it's been three days!!! - DAY 10

So we are on day...10!  Wow!..Ok so today I was able to do pushups without any pain :-)..knocked 75 out today and may do some other exercises after working on this bathroom remodeling pictures...

BLAH BLAH BLAH!  SHOW ME SOME PICS!

So here you see before surgery, day 2, day 6 and day 9.  What happened in-between day 2 and 6?  Ok so I went in for a post checkup and they said things were looking good but that my band was too tight.  They suggested I just wear the undergarment compression without the abdominal stretch band.  So my skin went loose after 4 days.

After seeing this Friday I nipped it and put both undergarment and abdominal pad back on.  This is my call ***FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS ORDERS*** THIS IS MY CALL!!!!!

Day nine shows my sides going back.  Will I ever get my day 2 results again?  I HOPE SOO!  I'm gonna do whatever exercise I can....should pickup a good walk today after fixing my bathroom.

My skin is less itchy today which is a relief.  I recommend you guys having two undergarment compressions, as washing is nice.  This is all for now.  I'll update later :)

Laser Lipo - Day 6/7

Well I went to the gym last night and learned something. U can feel EVERY step of your jog at 6.0!!!  It felt like it was my first time running going so slow. Rather than quit I did a fast walk which didn't bother me at all at 4.5 knockin out 3miles. My upper chest looks like it is screaming for attention but I must resist temptation. Only three weeks and chest will be the first exercise.

Today I got up to massage my sides. It actually felt great. I'm gonna do that often today. Bruises look about the same. First week is done :)

Onto week two!!!!!

Laser Lipo - Day 6

Well it says AFTER week one I can take on jogging so I brought my running shoes and shorts JUST incase I felt the need to go for a lil run...JOG a day earlier!

I've decided that at nighttime I'm not going to wear the compression garment, instead I'm going to use the compression band so that I'm not uncomfortable at night.

All in all I feel good, a lil weak from the lack of working out (I know...4 weeks) but at least I can get a run....JOG in today! :-)

No new pics (c'mon!  You've got enough for a week).  I'll post pics for week 2!  Hopefully some of the bruising will go down.  I'm massaging the numbness in the shower.

Pain - So far I feel tingles every now and then when I try and pick up heavy objects or stretch the wrong way...it's just the kinda tingle that let's you know UR ALIVE *_^ - Nothing to unbearable

Laser Lipo - Day 5

Day 5!  Ok so I'm feeling a little sore...Not too bad though, I stopped pain medication two days ago (I hate taking meds!).  Finished my antibiotic medicine yesterday and am for the most part just using the compression garment now (taking the strap while I sleep).

Eating and drinking is a lil tough (prolly not for most - because THIN is IN).  You don't eat a lot when your stomach is crushing you and drinking water or whatever gives you the burps.  Initially a lot of hiccups but not anymore.  Just burps.

I feel a lil congested right now, so hopefully when I get home, take care of my sick dog I'll hit the John and feel even lighter ;)  (too much? TMI??)

Well let's bring an end to week one!  I'm ready for a celebratory drink!  23 or 24 days away =)  ~HaLLoWeeN Night~
