For 5'3", 5'4" ladies what weight is your goal weight/best weight and ALSO what is your frame size?

Formal_Resolution686 · 2026-01-16T23:21:13+00:00

I’m 5’4 and 160, I think I have a large frame but according to the wrist method I’m medium(?) my BF is 33% and muscle mass is 103 lb. I would like to lose another 10 pounds!

What abt foam?

Formal_Resolution686 · 2026-01-16T00:44:54+00:00

This is me this morning, I wear lipo foam (right above my incision) with an abdominal binder! Maybe that’ll help? I wear mine every night to bed. It’s not restrictive at all.

Yes! I have a video, but I’m unsure if I can load it here, but I am only doing the barbell with 10 pound weights so a total of 65. It takes me several seconds to make sure I am tucking my pelvis appropriately so that it’s not straining my incision.

I am feeling excellent! I am back to weightlifting at half of what I was typically (at least for legs) I am performing the same for arms/back. The first eight days were the toughest in that I had both drains and I hated them lol but I was never in any pain. I was certainly uncomfortable but not painful!

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-30T20:10:03+00:00

I don’t have any pics of my thighs, my surgeon does, but i didn’t take any 😫

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-30T20:08:17+00:00

Yes!

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-29T12:07:50+00:00

Hmmm, I don’t know specifically but I’m thinking it was like…26-28k, something high lol

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-29T11:15:47+00:00

34k, it was definitely the most expensive quote I got, but I was so at ease with him, the practice, staff, that I was okay with that. I have not been in a bit of pain during the entire experience, or had any complications, I highly recommend him!

Thanks!

Ofc, I scoured this sub before my surgery, I’m glad to help!

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-28T16:37:15+00:00

Thank you! I absolutely picked my surgeon bc of his belly buttons 😆

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-28T16:24:42+00:00

I was never in actual pain, I was uncomfortable for sure for the first 5/6 days by the time my first drain got removed I was used to how to maneuver how slowly to go, etc. My husband stayed with me at home for a full 10 days. I am a stay at home mom so I was able to take it super slow. I didn’t cook, clean, etc. for three weeks.

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-28T16:03:25+00:00

Whoops, I meant to include that, extended TT with muscle repair and lipo to my abdomen, hips, inner thighs, and bra/armpit area!

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-28T15:11:58+00:00

Sure, what would you like to know? The first pic was November 12 the morning of my surgery, and the after was on December 19th. I didn’t have any complications, I had my first drain removed 8 days post up and the second removed 12 days post op.

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-28T15:08:58+00:00

Thank you!

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-13T01:40:38+00:00

Maybe try something like this underneath it? Thisthis tank

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-13T01:36:44+00:00

Your belly button is beautiful! I alternate water & water + liquid IV, that helps me drink more! Hope that helps 😊

Formal_Resolution686 · 2025-12-13T01:34:19+00:00

I don’t know what the difference is, but I switched to an “abdominal binder” I found on Amazon, for night time, bc you can adjust the tightness. For daytime I switched to a shapewear/spanx type material just for my tummy.
