Women sometimes contact me after surgery in tears.

And it happened again recently.

A woman who was supposed to start mentoring with me before her operation chose not to prepare properly. Only after surgery did she realise how much she had underestimated the recovery.

Because surgery is not just the day you enter the operating room.

To arrive truly prepared, you need time.
You need a plan.
You need to organise your body, your home, your compression, your drainage, your support and your recovery.

For me, that preparation starts around 90 days before surgery.

I have already been through this process three times, and I am preparing for my fourth surgery now.

I know what recovery can feel like when everything is organised — and I also know how overwhelming it can become when you are in pain and suddenly have to figure everything out afterwards.

Recovery without planning, without a clear structure and without someone guiding you can become incredibly hard.

You do not have to feel alone, confused or overwhelmed.

Let yourself be supported by someone who has actually lived through what you are about to face.

Preparation can change the whole experience.

If you are preparing for lipedema surgery and want help creating your own 90-day preparation plan, send me a private message. 💜

There was a time when a walk in the forest was not “just a walk” for me.

With lipedema, every step could mean heaviness, pain, swelling, fatigue… and the constant feeling that my legs were holding me back.

Today, after 3 lipedema surgeries, I can do things again that once felt much harder.

Walking through the forest.
Looking for mushrooms.
Staying outside longer.
Enjoying movement instead of fearing how my legs will feel afterwards.

For someone else, this may look like a simple day in nature.

For me, it feels like freedom.

Surgery did not erase lipedema from my life. But it changed what my body is able to do, and it gave me back experiences I had slowly stopped expecting from myself.

These moments remind me why I chose this path.

And if you are standing at the beginning of yours, wondering whether surgery could be the right step for you, I know how overwhelming that decision can feel.

Send me a message if you want to talk to someone who truly knows what it feels like — before surgery, through recovery, and after. 💜

My surgeries were performed by Dr. Luigi Schiraldi 🙏
And yes I still wear compression. That’s also other interesting topic 😉 Here wearing Solidea | Gravity Free®️ Be You Tonic Pro ✊

Today we start. 💜

Lipedema surgery preparation is not something that begins a few days before your operation.

It starts much earlier — with the right routine, the right professionals around you, and the consistency to actually follow through.

Inside my Lipedema Rebel™ Mentoring Programs, we work on the foundations that can support you before surgery, through recovery and beyond: movement, nutrition, compression, lymphatic care, integrative treatments and preparation.

And yes… I’ll be on your back. A lot. 😅
Because having a plan is one thing. Turning it into your daily routine is another.

If surgery is part of your lipedema journey and you want to prepare differently this time:

What compression do I wear with lipedema?
These are the garments I personally use for post-op recovery, daily wear, sport and night compression.

After surgery, I wear Marena Recovery .switzerland
This is the compression I use during my post-op recovery. In Switzerland, I purchase it through ALBIN GROUP AG

For daily wear, I use custom-made Sigvaris compression SIGVARIS DACH
Mine is measured and fitted through Orthoconcept SA

For sport and daily activities, I often wear Anita Active Anita since 1886 & Rosa Faia
It gives me a lighter option when I’m moving, exercising or simply want something more practical during the day.

Another option I use for sport and daily activities is Solidea Be You Tonic Pro Solidea | Gravity Free®️
I purchase mine in Switzerland through ALBIN GROUP AG

At night, I use Jobst Relax custom-made compression. JOBST Deutschland
Mine was fitted through Orthoconcept SA

Compression is very personal.
What works for me may not be the right option for someone else. The type, fit and level of compression should always be adapted to your own body and needs.

Save this post if you’re building your own compression wardrobe.
I’m sharing what I personally wear because this is one of the questions I’m asked most often.

A little milestone I’m really happy to share 💜

From today, my Lipedema Rebel™ Body Care products are also available in person in Geneva at:

Centre de Physiothérapie PhysiOcean ORSAN SA
Rue Tronchin 14, 1202 Genève

For me, this means a lot.

These products are part of the daily care I believe can make a real difference when you live with lipedema — not as a miracle solution, but as one small part of a consistent routine.

Seeing them now available in a physiotherapy practice makes this step feel even more special, because it brings Lipedema Rebel™ a little closer to women who may want to discover the products in person.

If you are in Geneva, you can now find them directly there. 💗

Available online and now also in person.

IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN, TOO!

Today was already in my calendar. So I did it.

Not because I woke up feeling especially motivated.
Not because it was easy.

I did it because movement was already part of my plan.

That is the difference for me.

With lipedema, saying “I’ll try to move more” is usually not enough.
If I want to be consistent, I need to decide when, put it in my calendar, and make space for it in real life.

Today: 4.6 km done. ✅

Small actions, repeated consistently, become a routine.

And this is exactly what I work on in my 1:1 mentoring too: helping women turn good intentions into a realistic lipedema plan they can actually follow.

Do you already have your lipedema plan? 💜

Summer changes our routines.

We travel, our schedules change, we eat differently, we move differently — and sometimes the structure we normally follow simply disappears for a few weeks.

And that’s okay.

But now summer is coming to an end, and I am rebuilding the routine that helps me manage my lipedema.

Not perfectly.

Consistently.

Because having a routine isn’t about doing everything right every single day.

It’s about creating space in your real life for the things that support your body — movement, lymphatic care, compression, nutrition, recovery and rest.

For me, there is another reason why this matters even more right now: my fourth lipedema surgery is approaching.

And after three surgeries, I know that preparation doesn’t begin a few days before entering the operating room.

It is built through the small things we do consistently long before surgery day.

That’s what my new Rebel Journal article is about: why your lipedema routine matters, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how the routine you build today can also become part of your surgery preparation.

And if you have a lipedema surgery ahead and want to build your routine and prepare for it with me, my 1:1 Lipedema Mentoring is open for September.

After summer, I’m back to my routine.

And honestly, I think that’s normal.

During summer, I don’t follow a rigid programme. Life changes, days are different, routines become softer.

But for the past few weeks, I’ve started building mine back again because I’m preparing for my 4th lipedema surgery.

One thing that really helps me is planning everything in my calendar.

Because for me, if it’s in the calendar, it has a much better chance of becoming part of real life.

Saying “I’ll do it” is not enough.

If you don’t plan your movement, treatments, appointments, recovery time and the things that support your body, it becomes much harder to stay consistent.

And consistency is what turns good intentions into a real routine.

This is also something I work on a lot in my 1:1 mentoring.

Often, women already know what they want to do — but the difficult part is turning that plan into something they can actually follow week after week.

That’s when activities stop feeling like “tasks” and start becoming part of a new routine.

If you’re preparing for lipedema surgery and want help organising your preparation around your real life, my September mentoring sessions are open. 💜
