The "After" pictures above were taken today (16 days post surgery). I'm feeling great and I see my Dr. tomorrow for a checkup (my first one in 2 weeks). I can't believe how much the shape of my body has changed already! I was completely BLOWN AWAY when I tried those grey pants on!
If you look at the pictures in the underwear, you can see the marks down my legs from the garmet. Again, this is after a shower and being out of the thing for about 1/2 hour. It is brutal. I CAN'T WAIT to get out of this thing! I put a circle around the swelling on my lower back. I think the top of it is where the tight, top band of the garmet ends...I think all the swelling is just getting stuck in that one spot. I don't really feel like the front of me is that swollen.
I'm hoping to start going back to the gym next monday (depnding on what the Dr. says) I "jogged" to my car this week after work because it was pouring rain and I felt some discomfort in my lower back (still feels bruised), but I feel like I could do the elliptical without pain. I also mowed my lawn this weekend and carried the grass clippings up-hill to dump them.
I'll post again tomorrow after the Dr. appt :)
