22 Months PO

It's been a long time since I updated lol my bad!! Ok so first off no regrets at all for doing this procedure. Loved Dr Ennis, he was wonderful, scar placement was perfect, while I haven't really done as much as I should've for scar treatment I'm happy with how it looks & it's easily hidden even in skimpier bikini bottoms ;) I will say this DO NOT become complacent once u get this done, you still have to eat right & exercise. I didn't for a long stretch & gained almost 20 lbs, while my tummy was still flat I looked bloated & the weight went to my lower back & love handles. I am now almost back to pre op weight but have focused more on weight training so the scale is obsolete to me. Also for anyone new reading this do not expect a 6 pack after surgery lol u still have to work hard to attain that & with all the swelling for the first 1-2 years it may be discouraging & yes I still swell from time to time but not too bad anymore. I included my 40th bday pic from last week & some scar pics :)

OK I'm finally back!!! ugh living in florida is tough! We've alrady had 3 separate guests visit us & I need a vacation now after all that excitement! & I have about 5 more pounds to lose just to get back to where I was at 3 months PO but oh well its a viscious cycle!! So I am 6 months PO from my TT/BL & 3 months PO from my BA & I'm still thrilled with my results (especially my new big girls I love those chics!!!) I am having some lower ab swelling (just saw my PS on monday & he wasnt concerned) said I may still see it come and go until December (my 1 year mark) but swelling, scars & all I look 500% better than I did before surgery. And even when I gained some weight back the number on the scale didnt even bother me like it did before! I actually have a tummy & new shape that I'm so proud of & it really shows my journey from delivering my youngest (8 years ago lol) at 225 lbs to now. I think a lot of us on here know how hard the weight struggles can be as we get older & especially after having kids & you sometimes never truly get your body back no matter how hard you work, so even through all the drama & my temper tantrums I feel this was the best present I could ever give myself. My abs still feel sore & a little tight when I work out but I know they are getting stronger every month. I may not have a 6 pack (my diet is still pretty erratic :)) but my goal was to build my self esteem get rid of all that excess skin & hopefully rock a bikini & mission accomplished. Now the BA is the icing on the cake. lol my left is still a little bit higher but the right has completley dropped. He measured me monday & they are 5 mm's off so I'm not complaining. they are so soft & really feel like "real" breasts. An old friend came to see me & it wasnt until I was in my bikini that she noticed that I had implants (I had always been busty in the past) & she liked them so much she was considreing getting some too. I included a few pics, I have been super duper lazy about scar management but they are fading & parts are getting that white-ish line they are supposed to fade into. The pics I attached really dont do my scars justice b/c in person they look much better but my tan lines dont help ;) I hope you all are doing well! I miss my TT sisters

Ugh I hate postng these pics cuz you can see how much weight I gained!! But anywho my chunky chicken days are over. Hitting it hard this week& Diet has been in check! Tummy still feel funky when I work my abs. Not as strong as I thought I would be but the weight gain may be contributing to that. I've been unable to workout since the implants (march 30th) until this week so its been rough. Anywho I've inclyded some pics of my revision, TT & BL scars. Not as good as I would like but i havent been consistent with the scar therapy either :( All in all I am still thrilled with my TT results (even with my nasty looking scar) & the new big girls (or twins as fit diva called them lol) are amazing! I cant believe how much I love them!! I just wish they would drop into place :)
