It isn't letting me add pictures from my phone!!! Grrrr
Omgosh I miss my slow recovery time last year. So quiet and calm.
Not much time but wanted to say I've gained 8 lbs on the scale since surgery. BUT I love my body more than ever. My stomach looks amazing. I have stomach definition. My scar is still very noticeable. ..I wouldn't change it for A Million Dollars.
I'd go to Dr Ralston again in a heart beat and I'd do this surgery over a thousand times. Couldn't be more thankful for it.

Hi, I asked this question up above about why no protein shakes? Then as I read I saw you turned off emails, so I'm hoping you'll maybe see this one. I'm curious about why not, I am months away from my surgery, but I was already planning on using them. Thanks for sharing!

I am not sure what the reasoning was ahunny. I asked my nurse and she just said that before they let people use them, they would notice they had much more oozing and drainage than those who did not. I followed dr's orders CRAZY close. So I figured better safe than sorry ya know? Sorry I didn't answer sooner! Hope your tuck went awesome!

No worries, thank you! I googled it, didn't find much. Did find something about the whey protein darkening the scar, I think. I saved the info, just can't remember off the top of my head. :) I haven't been tucked yet, I'm scheduled for March 6th. Thanks though!

Hello! I was thinking of you not that long ago! I followed you pre surgery and finally had it in may! 12 weeks on Monday! I have ALOT of swelling!! And still very tender. Have not gone back to gym as I can't fathom any use of my torso! Anyway. Like you only did to 4 weeks and then.. Got busy :) take a look!
Anyway. I have my 3 month check up next week.. I hope to have a review!! Take care!

Thanks for your thorough review. It is good to see a fitness trainer who proof that anyone cannot have perfect abs, some of us need surgery! Because of your review, I am consulting with Dr Ralston in August. He sounds wonderful. I'm in Idaho too. Did you consult with Dr Brzowski too?

Yes. I'm 3 months post op now and loving it! Back at the gym but scheduling meniscectomy left knee tomorrow :/. I rehabilitated a torn ACL 20 years ago on the other side so I am doing all my physical therapy moves I did back then for the left side.

Did you ever find out why dr didn't want you to use the Arnica?
Also why no protein drinks during recovery?
January 22, 2015
They just said people ooze and drain more with the protein shakes so I just followed everything to the t. Had I been in town with the dr, I may not have done everything so precise. but I am glad i did. Love my tummy! And they just said there is no evidence the arnica helps.
