UPDATE: 13 weeks before and after pic

Things are going along well. I had a 3 month post op appt last week and Dr. says he loves the way things are looking. I haven't really heard anyone talk about this but I feel knots along my incision where my pubic area is. They are the internal stitches that should fade in time. So far they have diminished except for one that you kinda see when I lay down. My PS told me just to massage it and hopefully it will soften up just give it time. Other than that boobs are good. I went to VS and am a size 38DD.. yikes!!!! I went and bought a pair of jeans this weekend and fit into a size 12 petite!!!! OMG I can't even remember when I fit into that size. I am working on losing maybe another 10 to 15 lbs by summer. I am super happy and when I look at my old pics I can't even believe I was ever like that! I was talking to my hubby and I can't even explain how happy I am with my PS. He did an excellent job. The whole healing process went so well. That's not to say I was not in pain because I was but the rest of the healing has been going great. His bedside manner is awesome and he wouldn't do anything on you that he wouldn't do for his own wife. Love this guy!!!

I posted a before pix when I was heavier side by side with a new pic of me now!! Happy healing ladies!!!

Well I am feeling pretty great these days. I have hit the gym again. Starting off slow but have been able to pick up the pace this week. Happy about that. Doing some weights just upper but no chest. I have an appt in March with my PS which would be about the 3 month mark. I will ask him then about doing some ab work. I am nervous about doing abs so I'll wait. I am still swollen but not as much. Mainly after being at work and after working out. I do see it being less and less. My breasts are awesome I love them!! They have finally settled.. I still massage them tho per docs order. I have also started scar therapy. I am currently using Oleeva silicone strips and BioOil. It seems to be looking pretty good. In some places it has faded nicely. I still get tired sometimes after a long day. I also have stretch marks on my tummy but I kinda expected that since I was pretty big (240 lbs and 5 kids later) but the pooch is gone and I can't believe sometimes how flat I am even with being swollen. I have got back to having sex with hubby on a pretty regular basis and all is going well. I still am careful when he is on top but all is good. I feel super sexy and even bought some lingerie for our V day evening. Also finally bought a bikini!!!!! Things are going smoothly. For those of you healing now.. it will get better just be patient and hang in there :)

Hi ladies, I posted a pic of me at 5 weeks post op. I love it! I am still swollen but it is getting less and less week by week. I will be 6 weeks post op this Friday. My how time has flown. I still get tired at the end of the work day and swollen. I am pretty much up straight when I walk and walking faster lol I notice when I sit at my desk tho it does take me some time to straighten up. The surgical glue finally came off my scar. I tried to use Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion but after a couple days my TT scar was red and a little irritated :( I stopped using it and once it gets better I will start using my Oleeve Silicone Sheets that I got on ebay for a cheap price. I can start back at the gym next week which I am happy about. Seems like I have been eating like crazy but I am still down 8 lbs from my pre surgery weight :D My boobs are doing great. My right one seems to have finally dropped. I am still sleeping with my band around my boobs. I see my PS next week and I'll ask him if I can stop wearing that to bed. I am on and off with my Spanx. I sleep with it at night but leave it off for a few hours during the day. The thing bugs me lol Just started being intimate with hubby last week. I was nervous about it but hubby was super patient and all went well :) I tired on bikinis this weekend and I swear I almost cried. I have NEVER in my life ever wore a bikini. It was just amazing.. hubby was amazed also. I am looking forward to celebrating my birthday this year with a sexy outfit!!! Hope you ladies are doing awesome!!
