I can't believe it's a new year and a new me! Week 5 has been the best so far. I feel my swelling is really going down, I'm comfortable in a size smaller that pre TT. I feel like I'm moving my hips more freely, I'm ready to shake with my favorite Zumba class :) love hate being back to my regular eating. Love that I'm a healthy calorie counting freak, hate that I crave sugar and salt...I'm blaming it in the holidays and the feww weeks if being able to oy stomach bagels and yogurt. I'm only 5 lbs from my goal body fat percentage. I'm not sure what my final weight will be once I start exercise in 2 weeks.
I'm disappointed in the pubic area, very puffy. Thinking they didn't lipo as I requested. Im hoping it's fixable. Other than that I'm inlove with my tummy :-)

Wow your body does look like mine shape. I needed to see your pics cause it shows me the long term plans. I am feeling isolated upstairs while my family talks and plays.

WOW! The scar is very uneven. He doesn't have a steady hand at all. I would've had him correct that.....

hey just curious whether or not you gained any weight on other parts of your body after your TT

I'm a week behind :-) but finally uploaded week four pics. I still have concerns with my scar placement. Hoping to get week 5 pics up today. Has anyone had a scar moved?

You look awesome! I feel square. I think we had the same looking tummy preop. I am almost brave enough to post a post op pic. Maybe I will try and figure it out now.

Thank you! I feel pretty square too or almost top heavy? I feel better this week.
January 21, 2012
Gandil I am looking at your pics and I don't see a square at all. I can see what your shape will be! You go girl.

You look great! Havn mine feb 2. Did u have lipo?
December 26, 2011
I did have lipo on my hips, made for a smother silhouette but I feel I don't have curves... More like mrs. square pants :) I'm hoping when I'm bake to my workouts that I will have a more defined waist. I'm glad I did this during the winter! I didn't realize the down time was so long!
December 26, 2011
Well I know you're happy w/ your new tiny tummy. I can't decide if I need lipo or not. One dr said yes, one said no so I'm trying to decide.
December 27, 2011
My dr. Said just my hips/flanks needed it for a smoother result.

You look great!!! What was your surgery date? Looks like in December? I think you waist will show it self in the next couple of months! You had lipo and I am sure you are still swollen!! Your new figure is amazing and you will love it more and more as the time passes! Your belly button came out very nice as well! ! I waited ten years to do mine because I wanted to be sure I was done with kids. I am soo happy with the results!!

Once we can start really exercising, your body will change!!! The 20 min. Elliptical is just not cutting it, let me tell you!! I am happy we did this in the Winter as well!! Summer time, look out!! :).

Newlife4tummy- thank you! My surgery was done 11-29-11, I love my BB but it seems off center. I think I'm a little swollen on one side and it's maybe pushing it, idk. I don't know what or if anything can be done if it's off center? I'm trying not to judge to early.

Can't wait for running, gym and zumba!!! My dr isntetting me exercise till the end of January.
December 26, 2011
WOW! you look amazing!!! you got incredible results! I still have stretch marks too, but I like my belly better now. Still waiting to find out more on scar management but Im only 11 days post op- finally starting to feel normal again. Thanks for posting pictures!

Tinamati- thank you! I worked out and dieted so hard to reach my goal before hand. It's a daily grind to stay in shape, I can't wait to get back at it! Gonna be smokin by summer :-)
