7 weeks two days post-op :)

I can't believe it has almost been two months since I had my surgery!!!! I am sooo excited and pleased with the way I look.  Everything is going wonderful. My scabs from week two have FINALLY closed and are in the process of healing!! I am still a little red on my upper leg near my bikini line, but this is due to the compression garment given to me by my doctor.  I prefer to wear that one when sleeping because the other one makes me claustrophobic at night time.  I am going to make a follow up appointment with my doctor probably within the next two weeks, just to be sure everything is looking good and running smoothly.  I am still a little swollen on my right (left hip in picture), but to me, its well worth it. he he.  I am thinking about going back to the gym sometime this week but feel that perhaps I should get my doctors approval first.  I am still lathering on the cocoa butter every morning and oiling the skin every night with Vitamin E oil.  Aside from showering I am ALWAYS in one of my two compression garments.  I just LOVE my outcome.  For once I feel comfortable in my own skin and actually enjoy getting dressed in the mornings and going out.  Today I am going to upload about 5 or 6 pictures of my tummy. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :) Thank-you for your support!! <3

You can see the redness on my upper leg/lower tummy.  This I believe is due to where my compression garment sits tightly around my skin.

 You can see the swollenness of the right (left in picture) hip. Its also probably because I have recently started sleeping on my side. (I can't help myself, sleeping on your back for almost two months is just ridiculous and uncomfortable!!!)

These are my jeans. Mind you, I have large hips to begin with, but can you believe how well they fit! I have never worn jeans around my pelvic area, due to insecurities of my weight I always wore my jeans just at my bellybutton in hopes of "hiding" my fat. There is nothing to hide anymore :) These jeans are also three sizes smaller than my previous size. I bought these during week 4 of my post-op surgery, and three weeks later they're already too big!!! :) :) :) ah it feels so good! yay me! <3
