Feeling like a normal person again. I still have aches every once in awhile and I can't stretch my entire stomach when I arch back. It's either my skin has no room to stretch anymore or my muscles are still too tight. I still need to start exercising and watching what I eat. I haven't been good about that because my job is stressful. Scar still deep red but looks good. I'll post more pics later but this one was the only one that was not blurry. Hope everyone is doing great!!! BTW. Still hard to find comfortable good fitting bras. I'm not liking the underwires as much anymore.

You look terrific! I'm right at 9 weeks myself and I'm still really swollen too, so know you're not alone. I guess some of us just take a little longer to deflate. :) I am bursting out of my clothes by the end of the day. I feel good but my pre-op jeans still won't button. I have some spots on my scar that are harder than others but I have found that spending a few minutes just massaging it every night has really helped break up some of that hard scar tissue.

Thanks so much. I'll try massage but it just never feels good. Hmmmm. I see the doc in another month so I'll ask about more suggestions as well. How are you feeling most of the day?? I wonder if the swelling or bloating ever truly goes away. Before my tuck I always bloated. Perhaps I need to change my diet habits. Any suggestions out there except eat protein and less carbs and sugar?? It just takes me being disciplined and just taking it one day at a time.

Looking flat to me, but then I am not you... And imagine you feel it as much as you see it. Thanks for the update and pics. Tomorrow is my day!

You look awesome! Your belly is super FLAT! Wow. You have such a narrow waist too. I'm jealous of those skinny hips. Amazing results. Congrats!

I just wish it lasted past breakfast but it never does:). I'm working on eating better and walking more but I still get very sore fast with my stomach muscles. How are you?? Have your results changes in the last month? I've always thought you look amazing!!

I am doing well. Oct 2 will be 5 months! Holy smokes. My results haven't really changed. I would say my lower belly is less numb and the skin is softening so that little pooch below the belly button is flattening out more and more. I am finally working out at my regular pace and back to doing abs -- so I'm hoping to lose the 5lbs I gained during my TT recovery. I should post up pictures. I forget to take them because now life just rolls along. Once in a while I have swelling for sure (PMS or after work outs or big meals) and my pants can still feel tight while other days they feel loose. Very strange. Sometimes I still have weird pulling sensations -- especially after working out or if I am dehydrated. The scar is fading a lot too. Overall, I love my belly. And again, I'll try to remember to take some pics and update my profile. Hang in there! Each week you will feel better and better.

Hey girl! Thanks for checking in on me - I just wanted to see how you are doing. Are you still experiencing lots of swelling? The last pic you posted looks absolutely amazing. I hope things are going well.
