Finally comfortable in my own skin!! 12 weeks PO tomorrow!

Hello all! Just realized I havent put any new pics on here in FOREVER! Life has gotten much more back to normal around here, which means it's crazy busy! And with the addition of Zumba 4 days a weeks, and group fit two days a week I thought it couldn't get ANY busier...and then I realized the kids swimming lessons start next week! Haha! Spent the weekend at the ccoast with my hubby's family, and opted not to go swimming and sat beside the pool and earned a major sunburn! I didn't want to chance any sort of skin infection before our trip to Vegas in a little over a month. I know the chances are slim, but I don't want anything getting in the way of me having an amazing time on our trip! Something amazing happened this weekend though. I have ALWAYS wanted to wear tank tops and capris in the summer, but my belly always prevented me from doing so...I TOTALLY rocked them this weekend and they looked great! It has taken some time, but I'm finally feeling comfortable in my own body, and the zumba is starting to etch our some awesome abs...could NOT be more thrilled so far (Although, I do still have that central swelling and my left love handle was left with a lil more meat than I'd like!) I am still wearing a spanks-like compression garment most of the time, I just feel more secure that way. Although I tried to Zumba without it on Thursday and pulled something in my lower abs,HURT so bad, but the weekend off really helped it resolve. Lovin this flat belly life, soooo happy I invested in myself this time! :)

Been awhile since I've updated my page and thought I would let y'all know how things are going since I've been keeping up with all of you! I'm about 10 1/2 weeks PO now and doing very well, started back into Zumba classes two weeks ago, four days a week and yesterday added group fit which will be two days a week! That class kicked my rear, an hour of group fit immediately after an hour of Zumba is murder, lol but I'm hoping it will fine tune what the good dr worked on! I am a little frustrated with something though. I have this swollen pouch looking area directly above my scar centrally. I've heard that people tend to stay swollen in that area for longer than any other area, but I'm just wondering how long that swelling remains?! Since I am getting close to 3 months PO I kind of assummed that I'd be nearing the end of this swelling crap, lol! Otherwise I am thrilled! I love the way I look in my jeans, an my first binkinis and they came in the mail yesterday. It's real, I'm actually going to be rocking a binkini in Vegas for my 30th bday at the end of may. Crazy!

7 weeks PO is finally here. I can't tell you how much better I feel compared to 2 weeks PO, like a brand new person! My husband and I went out with some friends over the weekend had dinner, went for drinks, and then to a movie, we were out all night laughing and it felt amazing. I was a bit sore by 1:00 a.m. but I had also completley forgotten to take ANY tylenol that day so that didn't help! It felt so strange to get dressed up and have a WAIST, it looked good and it felt strange! LOL Had my first trip back to the gym last night as well, got to get this mama toned up before our trip to Vegas in May. I was a good patient, only 35 min of cardio on minimal resistance on the elliptical, and no weights. I felt pretty good doing it actually, and was able to work out at about 75% of my norm...not too shabby! :) My incision line did get all tingly and my belly button scar got red afterwards, but woke up this am to my normal tummy. I bet my lymphatic system was all kinds of pissed off when Istarted moving around that much, haha. It's already workin so hard to try to move normal fluids around this new tummy, I was curious how things would look this am. I did try to not wear my CG to work the other day and booooooy was I swollen by 3 hours into it, so it looks like it's sticking around for awhile longer. I don't sleep in it anymore, so I'll take my blessings where I get them! :) I didn't post any new pics, everything all still looks pretty similar as the last ones. Toodles! :)
