Gip, Words out of my mouth just a few short months ago! OMG your at the WORST part of my recovery!!!!! Just when I though I was over the hump, I got hit with the worst of my swelling!!!!!!!!!!! The sucky part is getting such a wonderful taste of the slim look and then walla I'm in puffalump city, and the mushroom is back over the top of my jeans again & out comes the I cursed & stomped my feet & threw my best tantrums left & right but the swelling stuck around for months! I often think of the old saying - "Oh that is so swell" WELL, WHOEVER THOUGHT *SWELL* STOOD FOR SOMETHING GRAND WAS A FRUIT CAKE!!!!!!! LOL
Hang in there Gip, I know & feel your frustration well I am also not the sharpest pencil in the box, I just had some revision on my flanks last week & started the whole swelling bull back up again!!!!!!!

dana,
I'm über-fit and healthy, yet I continue to swell every single day.
[8 months p-o]
I'm just ignoring it and continue working on the 'being healthy' part.
Just think of how much good you're doing for the inside-->which will translate to the outside in good time.
~happy healthy healing~
