Sports Beas from Walmart are great. Danskin front closure, no wire, couple of sizes bigger than you are. $7 each. Can't beat it.

Well, as with any lipo, it takes a little while to see results. When you get lipo, it sucks out the fat, but the trauma to the tissue causes the area to fill with fluid/swelling. Also, when you have extensive surgery like I did, there is a LOT of swelling and Fluid build-up throughout the body, which almost always makes its way down to your ankles and calves, thus the need to walk A LOT. But once all the swelling was finally down, I so think there was a little bit of a visible difference. Not an extreme difference, because most of the tissue in my calves by that time was muscle, not fat.

Then, of course, I regained 80 pounds and that included a LOT of weight in my legs. For some reason, when I regained weight, my Tummy Tuck seemed to prevent weight re-gain in my abdomen so all of my weight had to go somewhere else, almost all of it went to my legs, as you can see in my photos in my gallery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
