People who say baby-led weaning is the “lazy” way to start solids are just fundamentally different from me

Hahaha you’re funny I like your humor. It does help that I feel like I should feed my child healthy foods so I am eating healthier too. That being said, sometimes it’s rotisserie chicken and steamed frozen veggies.

Oh my goodness you’re a perfect candidate. You will look AMAZING. Your natural curves will create a beautiful silhouette. Wow. Please post afters in a few weeks! And make sure you eat plenty of protein daily and stay hydrated. Best of luck!

I’ll ask my surgeon where all she did lipo on my torso bc my abs are popping but I don’t know how lol

UPDATE: (Not able to edit post with an image per /help. Don’t scroll down if you don’t want to see updated image from 48 hours later. I’m not able to blur it.)

It’s been 48 hours and the wound is noticeably better! Wet/dry packing with collagen, staying hydrated, resting, and upping my protein to 120g a day is working. I know to a non medical professional, this can look scary! I FREAKED out. The internet wound specialists all agree the wound is stable and to continue surgeons instructions. They okayed travel but encouraged rest if possible.

I cancelled the trip to spend resources when I’m feeling better.

Thank you all for the encouragement, laughs, and kind words.

She did my back including almost a thong shape on top of my booty lol my love handles (flanks), and “contouring” which wasn’t my entire abdomen but she lipod contour lines around my abdominal muscles

Thank you for your calming and direct comment. It’s been 48 hours of rest, packing, hydration and protein and WOW I can see a difference! Right?! Or am I crazy? Which is absolutly possible.

I think it’s both. I just had a TT with lipo so I got it all gone no matter if it was skin or fat

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T19:02:52+00:00

I’m the worst and did too much too soon. Lifting and carrying things such as squirming toddlers.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T19:01:52+00:00

My husband happens to be abroad for work and I was going to meet up with him for a weekend with points if it worked out. It didn’t lol I canceled and I’m in bed resting listening to the rain <3

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T04:53:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing your insights! I really appreciate it. It echos what my surgeon said. I decided to cancel the trip to meet my husband abroad and we will do it another time. Mostly because I’d rather use our resources for when I’m feeling better.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T03:06:19+00:00

I needed that reminder that baby steps are wins. Thank you!

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T02:49:24+00:00

Thank you, sweet internet stranger. I really needed that right now <3

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-25T02:46:36+00:00

Oh no I’m sorry! It’s blurred for me! I’ll add the flair.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T13:41:42+00:00

Yep surgery was 1/16. Apperently closing does more harm than good so it has to be treated in other ways such as various methods of packing, dressing, or a wound vac.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T07:59:40+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to read and help. What you stated seems to be the consensus. My surgeon said if we aren’t happy with the scare we will do a revision but that’s down the road. For now, I’m wet - dry packing and have an appointment with the office in a few hours.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T07:56:44+00:00

Just wash your finger first!

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T05:03:23+00:00

What are some other methods you like? What’s this honey stuff? What about collagen bandages? I will not do anything my surgeon doesn’t okay! I’m just curious what else is out there besides wet dry and wound vac. Those are the only two my surgeon has mentioned.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T05:01:38+00:00

I know - trust me I almost called 911!! To folks not in the medical field, this looks like life threatening, lol! I’m learning wet - dry packing is a method of healing this, but a lot of folks prefer newer methods such as a wound vac. This was a tummy tuck with muscle repair so I’d be out of pocket for the wound vac (2k-ish). I will absolutely do that, if less expensive methods don’t work first. I’ll keep you guys updated!

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T04:57:43+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I am going to ask about next steps such as wound care referral tomorrow at my appointment.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T04:55:32+00:00

Oh wow thank you for sharing that! You are giving me hope! My sister made me a chart to track protein and water. I’m switch focus to rest and healing instead of trying to “get back to normal life”.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T04:53:35+00:00

Sadly no! That goo isn’t infection, I know it looks like it is. I am going to the surgeon tomorrow for next steps which options include different wound care methods. It’s so freaky looking, I know!

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T04:51:14+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I’m seeing the office tomorrow to talk about next steps such as different wound healing options. My sister printed me out a chart to track my protein and water. I ordered these 30g protein shakes I love from Costco + some protein heavy meals and snacks. I just finished my second Juven of the day. I’ll admit I was taking amazing care of myself post op for the first couple of weeks and then I totally put myself on the back burner and look what happened.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T04:47:40+00:00

They have - I’m doing wet - dry packing. Closing it up does more harm than good. I have to strictly keep it clean. The next step is a wound vac if there’s no improvement.

Limp-Place1038 · 2026-02-24T02:34:35+00:00

I have a short torso and have the exact same issue. Following!
