Post Plastics NSV!

I am almost 6 weeks post plastics and I have been super swollen and limited to stretchy pants or pants about a size larger than preplastics.  I have been very hesitant to wear anything tight.  I have been feeling super skinny this weekend (scale doesn't agree), so this morning I thought I would try on my skinny jeans.  They are loose!  Wohoo :)

 

The swelling is definitely still there, but I guess it is going down now.  I'm wondering if I will end up in a size 8 once it is all gone.  That would be insane.  :)

So great to hear! I'm so happy for you!!!

I've found unfortunately, that I haven't gone down a size in pants. All of my size 12s are too loose in the waist/hips, but I can't really go down a size because my thighs and calves are so big haha! I am able to wear smaller dresses sizes (and tighter ones!) WITHOUT shapewear. WOOHOO!

I bet you are looking HOT girl!

How are you feeling that far out?  Do you feel back to normal?  Well, I guess your "normal" is different now.  Do you feel "good"?

I am definitely not back to normal.  I am still not allowed to work out ;(  I had a couple of slight complications (seroma & opening on my back).  I would have been cleared for exercise this coming Thursday if not for those, but I think I might have to wait a little longer.  I'm seeing the doctor on Thursday and will see what he says.  

 

I'm feeling ok -- walking around too much during the day causes me extra swelling at night though, so I need to still take things easy.

Well, you definitely want to take the time your body needs.  At this time in the game, are you glad you made this choice?

So glad to hear you are improving and feeling skinny again.  

Costco has some really cute stretchy Calvin Klein skinny jeans for $20 in great colors.   They run  big as I can fit in a size 8 in them and I am in a tight 10 in my other pants (so I am not an 8  and barely 10 except in the CK stretchy jeans).  Check them out.  They are great for the ego. I'll bet you fit in a 6!!!

You ladies inspire me!  I am going to do a breast lift, arms, and LBL in late Spring, as of now...and I have a ton of anxiety about it, but Stacy and Nikke, I hold out hope that I will recover as well as you have!!!
