Has anybody had liposuction????

I had liposuction in all my abdomen 5 weeks ago??? Before I went in to have the surgery I don't know what my weight was.....but after the surgery when I got home I weighed myself and I weighed 226 lbs. Now, 5 weeks later I weigh 202 lbs. I have talked to many people and they tell me you keep on loosing weight up to 6 months if I continue to eat healthy. Has anyone ever had lipo and how much did you loose, I need to get down to at least 150 lbs. Any comments or questions are accepted. Thanks!

You shouldn't lose much weight from liposuction.

If you need to get down to 150lb, you will need to eat healthily and exercise regularly. Do both cardio and strength training to build muscle mass and burn fat. And be sure to get adequate amounts of both protein and carbohdrates, eating no less than 1,500 calories per day and losing no more than 2lb per week.

Good luck : )
