My chat today with @lipedemafitness & @cfitrevolut

My chat today with @lipedemafitness & @cfitrevolution had me thinking back on my pre surgery legs. About how much those legs got me through so many major moments in my life. While they might have been heavy and painful, they supported me through happy moments like being pregnant and heartbreaking ones like losing my mother. They were there for me when they wanted to break down and ached for me to give up.
Now it’s my time to be make them a priority. To remove this horrible condition from them so that they can perform with ease for many years to come.
While guilt and fear can take over we have to make taking care of ourselves a requirement like maintenance on a vehicle.

I get asked all the time if I would still pick surgery... I think the smile on my face speaks for itself. But just in case yes yes I would 10000000x again.

Wound update:
- barely open
- only covering with abd pad just to make sure panties don’t rub it open
- still no pain at the wound site

I follow up with local surgeon next week and I’m hoping he’s saying I don’t need to come back.

I’m 70 days post op from the tummy tuck and this is how my scar & wound are looking. I’m so happy with how quickly the seroma opening has been healing. And my scar looks great!
Every time I catch a glimpse of myself I just smile at how even with what all my body has gone through for years, it is healing. I smile cause I have hope when I didn’t for so long.

“Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you” @beyonce

I love the new me. I love how I’m pain free. I love how I move easier. And yes I also love how my shape is evolving.

However I am beyond stressing over actually dating and being with someone. As I look back over several of my past relationships, I feel I was viewed more of fetish than I was a person due to my size. I only really got approached when my Lipedema got worse. So now I’m in my own head that the changes and scars are gonna be an issue. I know it’s ridiculous but the mind and body issues can f*ck with you for a long time.
As your body changed did you have a hard time embracing the changes?

While running a bunch of errands today, I found this adorable crop top at @fivebelow . It so soft and comfy. I hope they release it in more colors.
I realized by store # 4 that I have so much more energy. I was just buzzing through getting what I needed to get and wasn’t in any type of pain. My kid even told me to slow down. And now that I’ve been back home for a bit I still feel great. No ache in the legs... no throbbing of the feet... lower back doesn’t feel like it was hit with a sledgehammer. I hate that for years I was lead to believe that I should tolerate the pain just because I was fat. Such bullshit. I’m so glad I started the surgery journey to take back control of my body and health.

When I started my surgery journey I didn’t realize how much compression would be apart of it and how hard it would be to find ones that fit...until I found Lipoelastic.
Lipoelastic is a compression company (based in the UK that ships all over) that makes bespoke garments. The garments are 20-30 mmgh or class 2 compression which is a good medical grade. This has been a god send for me with late stage #lipolymphedema
There are so main options such as length of garment, closure type, fabric type/color and if you want a hygienic opening.
Lipoelastic’s customer service is amazing. Not only have they patiently answered all my questions about garment options but they have cheered me on with each surgery. I am so grateful to found a company that truly wants to help Lipedema ladies ease our pain with day to day compression or post op.
I’m proud to be a #lipoelasticangel

The color of royalty 👑 ... these @medilymphology #medieven550 in purple ribbed are GORGEOUS. And thanks to my medi rep Allie the fit is perfection 💜 it feels so good to have proper fitting #lymphedemacompression again.
My lymphedema has been so much better since my surgeries. However I still get some post op swelling over all and/or lymphedema swelling if I can’t elevate enough so I like to keep up on my compression. I wanna keep my amazing results.

How has it been 2 months? I swear I was just out at @totallipedemacare getting 3.5 feet of skin that weighed 20lbs removed.
What I’m dealing with:
- I can stand up straight!
- The phantom itchiness stopped
- Moving around is insanely different and easier
- I have so much more energy
- I sleep better and flatter in bed without waking up in pain.
- No more wound packing or vac. The wound is almost closed 🎉
- The 2 little side openings are closed
- The tightness when I reach for something has lessened
And the most 🤯
- Edema in my mon pubis (aka fupa) is drastically different. Wasn’t expecting that to be a result of the surgery 😂

"Slice a pear and you will find that its flesh is incandescent white. It glows with inner light...”~ Yann Martel

With the “slices” of my 4 surgeries, I feel the glow getting brighter and brighter. As the pain and heaviness of the Lipedema is removed, I feel better and am able to do the day to day with easy.

I am amazed each day at the reset on life these procedures have given me. I can’t even fully put into words how different I feel yet at the same time I feel more me than ever before. Like the outside me is matching the person who had been trapped in that Lipedema body for so many years.

Running errands for the first time without compression on the stomach while it’s in the wash. No issues and I didn’t puff up the 40 minutes I was out. 🎉
It’s great to be feeling more normal as I go out and about as I’m close to being 2 months post op from the tummy tuck.
What was something that made you feel less “post op-y” and more you?

Happy Easter from little pgp with permed bangs 🤦🏼‍♀️
I remember my mom loved this dress and I hated it other than the lime green trim. I agreed to it if we could add more green which apparently meant socks. For Easter every year my grandma use to pay for a spiral perm... this year that included the bangs.
This was Easter of the year I was really sick with everything I hate. (We hadn’t figured out my food issues yet) my face got puffy, my legs ached all the time and my upper arms were covered in bruises. Looking back now it’s clear the start of my Lipedema issues but we had no idea at the time.
Do you notice your Lipedema looking back at photos or thinking if events?
