Hello Ladies... I woke up this morning and to my surprise my stomach doesnt look good at all. It's looking like the old stomach and I'm confused and I even cried a little. What the hell happen last night. I dont know if it's because I've been going to the gym and working on abs only. Maybe by my stomach muscles already wasnt healed and I'm adding all this extra pressure to it, has made it swell even more. I am going to cut out all exercising for a minute to see what it's gonna do. I refuse to post anymore pics right now cause I'm truly embarrased to do so. Any input on what you all think could be going on with me would be greatly appriciated. I'm soo upset and sad. I will start back putting heat on my belly started today and I think I need to buy a smaller garment today also. the more I can sqeeze in the better. I'm in a med. now so I think that I'll go to a small. Just really not pleased now. :(

Don't worry you will be fine. It can be several things: increase in salt, less intake in water, monthly bloating, fluid retention, etc. best thing to do is tighten up and get moving be it with cardio or massages. It will go back down

Ok and thanks for the advice. I will start doing that today because this is sad. Didnt know about the salt intake. Do you think that taking water pills will help?

Girl yes for me try did. Make sure you are NOT eating a lot of processed foods and meals like frozen and cans. Eat a lot of fresh pineapple and watermelon. Fresh fruits and vegetables and increase your protein. Cleaning eating. I never realized bloating until after my surgery. My stomach is so small so I can tell more now.

this process is a rollercoaster ride. Your results will be up & down until the 6-12mo mark. The gym is your friend. Don't quit the gym. You need to do cardio n strength training. We can't spot reduce. I wish you luck with your progress.

Had my 1st professional massage today and all I can say is after 2hrs of rubbing my body down, I couldn't hardly walk. I must say that I didn't know that I was still that swollen. Ashley told me that I was still very knotted up, which I know because I can feel it and Dr. Hardy had already told me so.I feel like she took another 2inches off my waistline. At my appt with Dr. Hardy the other day, I told him that I wasn't happy with my bra roll. Although its way better than they were, I'm looking for even better results. He told me that I was rushing and that I got to realize that I'm just a little over a month and too soon. He said that it takes up to 6 months to a year, so just be patient and start doing lite workouts. I say if I'm not happy let's say August! I'm going for round 2 Lipo to my back. .. I will be getting a massage bi-weekly to help smooth me out cause it really help if you can afford them. To my girl Nessytessy, that was me at the dr office and now that you mentioned it, I looked you in the face, but wasn't sure it was you because I've only seen you from the side. Just like you've only seen me from the side.

Hello friend... It's almost time. My lst massage went great and I'm scheduled for another one on the 14th. I'm super depressed about my stomach this morning though. Soo big and swollen, I think that the exercising that I've been doing has back fired on me. I wish you luck with your sx tomorrow and I'll be praying for you. Hope that you had a Great Vacation!!!!
