My Body - Today

I'm sorry I haven't updated pictures in a while.  Not a whole lot has changed other than the fact that I started working out again and went from 165lbs at the time of the procedure to 180lbs today.  I'm still in my size 8 pants but I can feel the difference.  My stomach feels swollen all the time for the extra weight.  No one else can tell because I still wear the body garment but I have got to do something to lose at least 10 lbs.  I'm extremely stressed out right now in my home life which I think is a driving factor, but come the 1st I'm moving so fingers crossed, life will improve tremendously.



 Now this picture below, is with the flash on so it looks different than the one directly beneath it even though they were taken seconds apart.
 This is what I mean when I talk about dimples on my stomach or bumpy looking.  It's not flat and smooth.  Unfortunately, you never know how the skin is going to reattach itself to the muscle.
 You can see that I still have some skin elasticity issues the way the skin hangs over the bikini bottom in this picture.  You can't really grab anything on my stomach, even when I bend over, but the skin just refuses to be taunt.  Remember, I have been bigger than most kids my whole life, and got up to 243lbs at age 26.  Genetics is also a factor.  If I had Italian in me I've been told my skin would have more elasticity from all the oil in my skin.  Who knows!
 
Now every woman knows everything looks better tan!  I'll see how I feel after I go tanning a few times.  My friends want to go on a cruise and everyone thinks I'm retarded because I still wear a one piece bathingsuit.  Maybe this time I'll be brave but I can't be this white! LOL

    Thanks for sharing this! I have thought about getting lipo done and I was wondering if you knew of any places that did smart lipo in Michigan?

    It’s a great move for you to engage in exercising again. This would definitely help a lot in keeping you in shape after liposuction. Your body has improved nicely, especially on the thigh areas. Anyway, I hope you’re happy with the result, and I’m looking forward to seeing you get a tan. ;)

    Thanks for posting your story. Your before and afters are great. You look like you had a boob job too in your bathing suit pic above :) I just had smart lipo to abdomen and bra roll 2.5 weeks ago, it's hard waiting for my final results but I can already tell a difference. The maternity pants are a brilliant idea, I may try that!!!!!

    Ha Ha .. no boob job .. they just look bigger as my body gets smaller :) I hope you are as happy with your decision as I am. I really need to do updated pictures but I moved and there's no easy way to set it up to take them. I'll work on it :)

Lymphatic Drainage Massage Appointment 2

I went again today for another lymphatic drainage massage.  The massage therapist told me that I had a lot of fluid congestion in my hips.  I also have a crease right above my pubic area that just seems to be where my skin naturally folds when I sit down.  It's so deep that when I lay flat all night long, it's still hasn't worked itself back to normal by the next morning.  She spent a lot of time cupping that area, drawing the fluid to the top to pull out the skin. Today's appointment was pretty painful, I'm not going to lie.  But it's also very obvious that I still have a lot of swelling and fluid in the tissue.  It's been two weeks since I had the appointment.  It usually takes about 3-4 weeks for the swelling and fluid to finally dissipate.  One interesting thing that she told me was that our skin will take on the shape of things.  This is why it's important for us to wear a variety of clothing, particularly panties.  If you always wear the same p

After Pictures Update

I am truly sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of my body as of late. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been working on my tan - and let's be honest, everything looks better tan! I've also put on a few pounds. I'm not sure if it's due to the stress at work or the sheer amounts of alcohol I've consumed as a result of that stress. Either way - I'm up to 187lbs, which is clearly not where I want to be. I've decided it's time to redirect my energy and start using exercise as an outlet instead of alcohol. It's not an excuse, but some days I just want to go out with friends and vent about all the things that are stressing me out - and as a society, what do we do to be social - either go to a bar for drinks or a restaurant for food. I did get my best friend to join the gym but that presented another problem - too much talking and not enough working out. Like with everything in life, it's
