First, thanks so much for all of the fabulous feedback!!! You ladies are great!!! So I'm 2.5 months out (roughly) and I started up P90X again today and didn't "Bring It" but did great and feel great! Can I tell you how AMAZING it is to do push ups and not see my gut!!! WOW! It's so awesome!!! SO SO AWESOME!!!! I also started tracking my calories today - I am determined to drop about 10-15 more pounds although I am happy with my size (and hubby will kill me if I drop another size and have to buy even more clothes lol) - just wanting to firm up again and get healthy again so we'll see! Anyhow - here are some pics in new clothes including DRESSES!!! Please ignore the finger printed mirror!!! =)

So, I am 2 Months (8w 5d ;) ) Post-Op TODAY!!!! And seriously - time is just flying by! I hardly rember what it was like to not be flat! It's crazy! But feels great!!! It's awesome to have "fat days" (yes you will still have days you don't feel your best, bloated, fat, pms days, etc) and not actually look 20 lbs heavier and pregnant than I did when I woke up. And on days maybe I eat a bit too much - i'm the only one that notices. =) I have added some 2 month pics!
Anyhow - So I am down from a size 6/8 jeans to a solid size 4. I never wore dresses because I was so out of propotion but now I'm a size 6 in dresses! Loving it!!! I am wearing my Spanx at night to help with day swell and I am wearing it again during the day because I keep thinking I look "thick" by the end of the night and I think it's just a little swell. Overall though - swelling is down quite a bit. Scar looks great and it's all smooth except for right above my pubic area - I'm just using Palmers 2X a day. I have been exercising regularly for 3 weeks - mainly jogging/walking and light weight and it's been fine - I don't even get sore. I do wear my CG that the Doc gave me though and probably will for awhile - that support is important! I am still so weak in the core area but i keep trying to do more so in time! I am realizing that is truely the Tummy Tuck (and MM) Mantra - IT TIME!!!! I have ZERO patience but what can ya do? =) I am getting pretty bored with my workouts so I will start up a lightened version of P90X this week i think! Oh and my 6w Post-Op appt was lame - he said all looked good and pics next time (Mid December). My 3 year old was crying - it was stressful and a bit frustrating after driving an hour to see him for the first time since my surgery...whatever. Next time will hopefully be better and child free for sure!!! LOL! So that's it I guess! Not much is changing. Oh my in laws saw me for the first time last night and they were floored - made me feel good! I also keep getting told "You have lost SO much weight"! Nope! Only 9lbs (8 today lol). Also saw my brother for the first time this past weekend since surgery (he just moved back in state) and I had to say something...NERD but he said I looked great. Happy Healing to everyone and Good Luck to all of those waiting to join the flatside! It's nice over here and expensive! I will add a couple pics in my new clothes too tomorrow hopefully! :/ Thanks everyone for all the support!!!!

"my 3 year old was having fun squishing my belly last night" - I laughed at this! Its one of my 2 year old's favorite games! I also have 3 girls - 11months, 2, and an almost 5 year old, so I'm more than a little nervous, but it really helps reading about other mamas in the same boat :) I have to say, after my first c-section, I did the SAME thing as you at about the 2 week mark, I was majorly overdoing it. I ended up hemorraging huge clots (sorry, tmi!), and although it wasn't serious, I had to go to the ER and made everyone suitable freaked out. It's hard not overdoing it, there's no days off or pampering for moms! I also have diastasis recti, I got my belly button hernia fixed this summer but it def doesn't look like a cute little one anymore - you look GREAT, I'm hoping for results like yours!!
October 9, 2012
Oh so many of my friends warned me because like you they overdid it after c-section. Crazy! Yeah it stinks! Mommies tend to push themselves! I keep hearing how common this is! Will we ever learn? Glad you got your hernia fixed! Crappy stuff!! So TT next?

Great to read your update. It is weird how time just flies and things start to feel normal -- like you were always flat....Yay for you. And you look great! Congrats.
October 9, 2012
I know right!? Crazy!!! Hope you're feeling well! Back into things I'm sure! Time DOES fly! That's a good thing in this case! =)

Hey soon to be flat! You look amazing, but I'm sure you already know that. :o) I can't wait to see you in all of your new outfits. I also hat the way dresses feel on me, so can relate to that part of your ex-life. I'm so sorry you had a lame and frustrating 6 week po appointment, but at least you know everything is healing good. I can't wait to have "fat days" or days of overeating and not have anyone notice but me. As it is now, everything just bulges out. It's disgusting. Can't wait to get my muscle repaired so they hold everything in the way they are supposed to. Keep us updated. I love reading your updates. :o)

Oh I am so excited for you lady!!!! YAY!!!!! You're getting so close!!!! You will be amazed how much better you feel!!! You will look amazing!!!

You look amazing! I am completely jealous about the weight loss! I have lost maybe 2 whole lbs. Yippy for me:-) Have you started working out again? Keep in touch!
September 20, 2012
Hey Hon! I have started working out again....you? Feels so weird but great! I am so weak! LOL! But in time! Planks were great but short lived LOL! REally trying to ease into it! DH is watching me very close so I don't overdo it! LOL!

Hi SBF, question for you about wake boarding. I haven't tried, but heard it's a great all-over workout. With your recovery, when do you think you'd be ready to do it again. Just curious on how you think you're doing. Hope you are well!
September 20, 2012
Hey! Yeah - wakeboarding is a great workout! AT the beginning of the season I typically wake up barely moving after a day of only 2-3 runs LOL! Yeah - I won't be back at it until next summer. I missed it though when I was up there just chillin on the boat!
September 7, 2012
You are looking awesome!!!!
