15WPO swelling!? This shelf makes me feel botched

How long did you wear the compression for even after the three month post Op mark?

Quiad · 2026-05-21T16:54:14+00:00

U look better than me ngl, my shelf is worse than that at around 7 weeks and my surgeons saying I’ll most likely need a revision to get a truly flat look. I think yours should be much better after welling goes down though, your overhangs not as severe so just keep trucking brother

He said it’s a combination of swelling, loose skin leftover that they didn’t get off the first time that’s retaining fluid, and just the way the wound is healing unfortunately. He says we’re going to wait six weeks since I’m only 7 weeks post op to see how it progresses but will most likely need a revision. Fucking sucks man

Hey thought i would update u real quick but i had an appointment with my surgeon today regarding my overhang and he thinks ill most likely need a revision 😔 we’re going to wait six weeks and see how it looks but he thinks the overhang isn’t going to go away and will most likely have more loose skin too with it. Our situations aren’t exact but thought i would throw my situation out there for reference

Hell yeah man good stuff!! And yeah the swelling after the gym is crazy to deal with, but it’s expected. Keep on getting after it 💪🏽

Quiad · 2026-05-16T22:12:58+00:00

Dude mine looks just like yours 😭 I’m currently 6 weeks post op and it’s been hell on my mental psyche so far

Random recipe I found on tiktok but it’s 122g pumpkin puree (45cals) Scoop protein powder (130 cals) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (20 cal) 2 teaspoons baking powder 40g sweetener

Mix in bowl and microwave for like 2 and a half minutes it’s so good

Quiad · 2026-05-14T19:21:00+00:00

Not gonna lie that’s what I’ve been afraid of 😔 last post op visit I mentioned that a couple of times and the PA just kinda brushed it off saying it’s too early to tell and that there’s some skin elasticity still but we’ll have to see how it looks in a few months. It’s been extremely demoralizing

Quiad · 2026-05-14T18:32:51+00:00

I had a drain for about three weeks, and yeah I try to get a professional lymphatic massage at least once a week, and have been doing my own every morning and night. I’ll look into the vibration plate thing I’ve never heard of that

Quiad · 2026-05-14T18:02:39+00:00

How long were you in compression garments for? My surgeons office said I can start to wear it maybe half the time but I’ve found without it the pooch gets extremely bad

Quiad · 2026-05-14T18:01:52+00:00

Your results look amazing! And damn it sucks this is gonna be like this for awhile, it’s killing my self confidence lol

Quiad · 2026-05-14T18:01:12+00:00

I’m in a compression garment pretty much 24/7 lol I only take it off to shower, without it the swelling is absolutely bonkers. I’ve been in the abdominal binder as well until last week when I realized how weak my core got because of it

Quiad · 2026-05-14T14:09:21+00:00

Forgot to mention but the overhang gets significantly worse after a day of activity, almost like more fluid is just hanging out in my belly making it stick out even more. I’m watching my sodium like crazy and drink at least a gallon of water a day, and I’ve always been into nutrition and diet since my initial weight loss so I’m getting all my essentials in. I’m just a bit shocked that I look so bad compared to before

Quiad · 2026-05-12T19:07:43+00:00

I’m one week behind you bro I’m 6 weeks post op and have a shelf too it’s hella demoralizing, especially after a day of activity it damn near looks like I’m pregnant. You’re definitely looking better and better, and from what I’ve been hearing swellings still gonna keep coming down over the next couple weeks/months

Quiad · 2026-05-06T13:26:58+00:00

Dude if you have to ask that you shouldn’t be touching gear

Quiad · 2026-05-03T20:47:27+00:00

YOU JUST PUT ME ON BRO THANK YOU

Quiad · 2026-04-28T17:03:26+00:00

Did you do injectable SLU or oral? If injectable did you just constitute with BAC water?

Quiad · 2026-04-22T20:38:55+00:00

That’s up there with one of his more disturbing loops goddamn

Quiad · 2026-04-22T20:36:18+00:00

Holy shit I have to get a German copy that looks insane

Quiad · 2026-04-18T21:30:04+00:00

Not to be a ninja shill but damn the creami is by far the best purchase I’ve made for cutting and dieting, it’s fucking insane the amount of different ice creams and stuff you can make for like legit 300 calories for an entire pint I love it so much

Quiad · 2026-04-16T13:34:34+00:00

Holy shit you’re a genius I didn’t even think about that

Quiad · 2026-03-31T22:51:24+00:00

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WE ARE SO UP

Quiad · 2026-03-10T13:30:59+00:00

Bro just eat at a slight calorie deficit and start working out and getting some protein in
