Lymphatic Drainage Massage

I just had my first appointment post procedure with the Lymphatic Massage Therapist. For anyone in the Melbourne, Florida area, I go see Beth Petters.
She couldn't get over how much better my stomach looked this time compared to the first time. I still have a lot of swelling but that's to be expected! She said that the second time around, some people heal much faster, while others will heal much slower.

I told her about the maternity pants :) she thought it was a fantastic idea as well and is going to start recommending them to her clients! Ladies they're really comfortable and no one can tell! I told my boyfriend I may wear them for a while I like them so much! haha

The massage only lasts 30 minutes and it's recommended to go for 4 weeks. It helps to keep the fluid moving and draining. She does "cupping." which is essentially where she uses a cup like device to suction a piece of your skin, and then pulls it across your body to pull the fluid to the surface and move it around. It helps to heal evenly.

The massage therapist has been doing this for many years. She is very knowledgable and it helps to talk to someone who will give you another perspective. She works with so many people who have had this procedure done and it's nice to know that my fears and concerns aren't "crazy."

I'll let you know what she has to say about my progress next week!

Plastic Surgery – It’s Not an Easy Choice

Here I am, still contemplating whether I want to get Smart Lipo done on my thighs. I hate my thighs. Absolutely hate them! I know I posted some pictures before but this one really shows the issues that I was talking about. The way the fat protrudes out is apparent no matter what I’m wearing whether it’s jeans or shorts. The only way I can get away from it is if I’m wearing a dress or a skirt. But I’m not going to lie – I’m scared. Does it look bad now? Yes. But what if it ends up looking worse. You may be wondering where this is coming from. Well – I must say, I regret getting the CO2 Laser Resurfacing done on my stomach. It may have improved my stretch marks SOME , but it caused other weird problems. I didn’t have divits before and now I do. Granted. a tan would help too. However, I’ve been doing ab exercises every day. Switching it up constantly so that my body doesn’t get too accustomed to any one particular thing. Mind you, I haven’t put on any weight either ...

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 ...

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. ...
