So I decided to take a picture. I guess I forget that I had the surgery and just been living life and forgot about progress. I am happy with my scar healing and location. I am unhappy with the bump on the scar from my drain, my dog ears and my lipo scars on my back are dark. Also I had lipo on my back and I feel like you don't really see much change (no pic). But I do love myself ok my bikini. Just need to tone it up and get dog ears fixed when I have the money.
Scale is holding me back- 1/19/16
I have been weighing myself because of a program I am doing through work and I'm frustrated because I keep fluctuating in weight, more or about the weight I was at surgery.
I also get discouraged because my stomach has started it relax and it looks full and makes me feel like I gained weight since surgery vs swelling. It's still "flatter" then what I had before surgery but I just beat myself up that I am not doing enough to maintain the look that I was going for.
My scar is also not as light in color that I would like but I don't know what to expect in color at this point in my progress. It's probably normal healing but I again don't want to do something to prevent it from not healing properly.

Week 10- doubt setting in
of course I know there is swelling and everyone says your shape and weight will fluctuate. But now that I have been out of the garment I feel sometimes feel like I did prior to surgery.
After surgery I saw significant results in my waist line which I feel now has gone away. Don't get me wrong, from the front my stomach looks flat but my hips are the same and from the side I can see a hill. This picture doesn't really show it like I see it.
I'm sure it will all turn out fine and I hope it's not anything I'm doing wrong to change the shape to something unwanted.
