Can’t believe my #totallipedemacare logo tattoo

#300dayspostop on the thighs. It’s crazy to think I’m closer to a year since my third surgery than not. A slow as time seems I swear in a blink it’s gone.
My thighs feel amazing and get better each day. It’s not painful when GiGi walks all over them.
My tattoo looks AMAZING… more of it is actually visible, like Swedish chef isn’t around the side as much.

#preopbloodwork selfie for surgery #5! Crazy that I’ve done this 5 times and I still panic that my pcp is gonna be fatphobic and not clear me for surgery. Even though each time I go for this I’m smaller than the first time 😂 The mind will mess with you any chance it gets.
Bloodwork, ekg and chest X-ray completed at the crack of dawn. Now I just have to stress over it till my clearance appt on 8/3.
I will say all the people at my local medical center have been super sweet and ask me how the last surgery went as I do my clearances again.

Any one else panic for each pre op clearance when it’s not necessary?

Finding panties that fit, didn’t rub on my incision or dig in as the swelling occurred throughout the day has been rough.
I was super excited for my #gifted #splendies package to arrive. The material is so smooth. There was no seams or elastic edging on the pairs I received this month. (My skin reacts badly to elastic) They just lay smoothly against the skin… no rubbing no digging no irritation.
Im wearing a size 4x and they are a little big that I could probably size down to a 3x.
@splendies are size inclusive (sizes S-4X), you get 3 pairs a month, and starts at just $14.99/month. And you can use coupon code, INSTA50 for 50% off the first package.

Let me know if you try Splendies out! I would love to hear your thoughts.

You'd try and show me it ain't even about my name
But you try to use me, you lie to fool me
So it can never be the same
So now I'm leaving you behind”

And thank you to all of you that sent me links to my metal NSYNC shirt! I love it.

It’s the truly happy it shows ✨glow up✨ for me.

When I say these surgeries have changed my life I legit mean it. The pain level has dropped drastically. The toxins that had been building in all that lymph fluid those nodules absorb are now gone. My skin is better. My mobility is better. My sleeping is better. My mood is insanely better. (Don’t get me wrong the razor sharp sarcastic tongue is still present. 😂) I just naturally smile all the time now.

Pushing passed my fear and distrust of doctors back in October 2019 and going to my consult with @drjaimeschwartz of @totallipedemacare was truly the best decision I’ve made maybe ever.

Only look back to see how far you’ve come… easier said than do believe me I know. But it’s so important for mental health to not dwell on the past so much. Specially if it’s something that was out of your control like Lipedema growth.

#ad New @lipoelastic mail today! I’m so excited

#ad New @lipoelastic mail today! I’m so excited for this piece! I know you probably looked at the photo and thought “why no compression on the legs?!” Well I wanted this design for 2 reasons. First being some nights I feel I need compression on just my stomach when I asleep as the tummy tuck swelling creeps up at times still or I have a bad food sensitivities day and my stomach is dealing with inflammation. Secondly I have an upcoming photo shoot in LA that I will be wearing a cute girly dress that makes me want to twirl and show off the thigh ink not a big black compression leg. But I didn’t want to risk being without compression on my stomach in the California heat.
This piece has a zipper on each side so I can easily get it on/off. There is an eye hook closure in the crotch however I can’t even imagine being able to close that once on 😂. There is a tummy panel as well. I wore it around the house today while working and my stomach feels softer in some spots. That could be due to this being updated measurements and fitting snugger than my chest - capri piece. Im happy to report there is no digging in the thighs.
Lipoelastic does it again 💕

(Also holy freckles after being at the pool yesterday. And yes I had spf100 on 😂)

This #fatariel shoot is one of my favorites. I was stepping out of my comfort zone big time during it. I HATED holding arms up like this. I hated how much the Lipedema hung down. But even 3 years ago I knew it was necessary to show arms like this… for others to see that these arms are part of a condition… to normalize them.
I still struggle with my arms at times. And I’m honestly not even sure why. It’s been really hard lately as the pain has gotten worse in them.

Do you arms bother you?

Over the weekend I had my first photography event

Over the weekend I had my first photography event since surgeries. Photography has been a huge part of my life from early on. (Swipe to see 2yr old me with my first “camera”)
Lipedema had started to make photography extremely painful for me. I was having a hard time standing for any real length of time and would barely be able to move the next day.
This time was so different. I stood on/off for 5 hours after running errands and baking. I had no pain in my legs or feet at all the next day.
However my arms, specially my right one, were throbbing tight and tender. They hurt more than I ever remember them hurt. By the time I was driving home my arms feel like heavy cement blocks.
I’ve been noticing the pain in my arms more with each surgery. I can not wait for the pain to be gone in them as well.

If you’ve had surgery did you notice the pain “transfer” to another area during the process?

Just realized it’s a month till surgery #5! Can not wait to be back in Beverly Hills and see so many of my favorite people.
And I’m even more excited that @libbiehiggins_ and I are now surgery buddies (maybe we need a better name for that 😂) with back to back surgeries!

Let the countdown begin…

I have no idea how it’s been 150 days since my #tummytuckforlipedemaremoval with @drjaimeschwartz of @totallipedemacare

I did not realize how much removing that hanging abdomen would change my day to day.
I can move so much easier. My back doesn’t ache like it use to. No pain, no random bruising and best of all the skin rashes haven’t happened.
Still borderline obsessed over my belly button 😂
I will say it’s weird to see the bloat or “food babies” people joke about after eating. I never had that before.
3.5 ft of skin 20lbs of skin and nodules removed means an unmeasurable amount of pain no longer being felt. These surgeries are so needed. And we need to get the medical community on board.

🎶 I said, baby, "I'm tired of loving alone"
I don't wanna share
Meaningful moments with meaningless people
It'd never add up right
'Cause the love isn't equal 🎶 @philmonlee

I’m no longer the miserable outline behind me. I’m ready for meaningful people in my life. I’m not longer settling for half ass relationships that means friends family or men. I know what I bring and what I deserve. I’m done worrying about everyone’s feelings but my own.
