Lipo Plus 4 Days 165 lbs

Ok, I am getting close to the weight I was when I started this. I still only see a difference n my waist. I know I was told that I would be swollen for the first two weeks, but somehow I thought I was going to be special case and I would see immediate results. I should know better after going through the tummy tuck.

Today was the first day back to work. It is an hour drive each way. Getting in and out of the car was a little more challenging than the truck. I had to be careful to swing my legs out the door before trying to get out – it hurt.

I didn’t take any pain meds first thing because I had to drive, I took them as soon as I got to work and I started feeling a little dizzy. I had something to eat and it helped.

The first thing I did was google 1 liter of fat.
One Liter of fat weighs 2.2 lbs
I had 3.6 liters removed so 7.92 lbs.
I can live with that.
I hope to be able to get down to 150 after the lipo and then ramping up the exercise over the summer.

It was hard to put in the full day at work.. I got stiff sitting at the desk and I was walking funny around the office. I was asked if I was ok – just said I twisted my back on the weekend. I really don’t’ feel like discussing it any further than that – I also work with all men.

I got home and crawled into bed for a nap before supper. The best hubby in the world prepared supper and took care of The Girl’s homework and let me rest.

Another new complication – itchy. There are steri-strips over the incision sites. I know I am going to react to them, but I need to keep them on so the stitches don’t’ catch on the suit. I applied some Aveeno lotion right over the strips – it helps, I also had hubby dump cornstarch powder down the back of the suit, it helped as well.
