Always feel the best in the morning! So quick pick @ 12 weeks. Still hopeful I loose the pooch, but either way I'm happy!

Looking nice and flat to me. Hoping for a speedy recovery
Has your "pooch" went down? I have a seroma and I look even bigger than your do with the swelling. Just wondering if its ever going away.
Just had abdominal lipo to fix the pooch. Done. Im very happy now. :)

Wow what a transformation!! LOVE your BB! I feel like I look the same as I week PO lol it's our body dysmorfia...you look great! The swelling will get better w time, are u taking turmeric? I sware by it
Tumeric huh? I'll have to check into that. I commented on your posts on your page. Loved your posts. Cracked me up. Felt like I was reading my own words. You look amazing. Flat tummy... love it!
I think you are coming along great! And I can totally see your abs in one of those photos. You look awesome!!!
Thanks. :). As you know, its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm a hair stylist, so I'm still wearing a compression wrap around while I work.
I looked at your pics. Your tummy is so flat! Not sure why mine isn't yet. I am excercising, and I stand doing hair all day. I'm sure that doesn't help with the swelling. Thanks for the words of encouragement.. And I'm determined to at least get a 4 pack out of this whole thing! As soon as I can start doing sit ups again, it on! :)
Thanks! And my tummy isn't always flat I'll tell you that! It's best first thing in the morning. It definitely took a few weeks to get this flat :) You're doing great! I'll be excited to watch your progress :)
nice scar...swelling is normal you take your arnica tabs and it will help or follow what your prov says mederma..... or bio oil.. or do like many women. a nice tattoo. that is what i am going to do..
Don't worry about swelling. I'm po 16 weeks and am still swelling in my upper abs. Just where my body is having a tough time with lymphatic drainage. Be patient.
Have u triex lymphatic massage
You look great! I def think you are still swelling a ton. This is such a long recovery process but will be SO worth it when all healed.
