1 year 8 months update
Finally starting to be able to work abs a LITTLE!! Still not much just weight training as usual...scar is the same marks are pants and cats lololol not much to report I feel good!! Still get tightness especially after exercise turns out this may last forever but you get used to it!! I plan on tattooing over my scar soon but that's my style;) I'm waiting till the 2 year mark my scar is a tiny bit red but only because of the sun... Love that my surgeon sees me every 6 months to check in and ask how I'm doing:-) hope this update helps those who wonder what's up almost 2 years later;););):-)

You're looking great...I can't wait to see my results after a year post op. I know my scar will not fade as much due to the other surgeries and scar tissue, but it's well placed and I can live with it. :-)

Mines are getting tight now, but I still have some swelling now and then...when did you notice the swelling was gone for good?
L
August 9, 2015
Never!! Lololol not yet at least:-( every time I do any ab work I swell everyone's different I guess... I'm used to it now and I don't really need to hit and super hard anyways since I eat keto!!;)

I do keto off and on, I eat more carbs when I lift heavy...and do keto when I want to lean out. This helps my body not get use to either diet, keeping my metabolism stress-free when it's time to drop weight...Hopefully the swelling subsides in the next few months, even though I don't have a lot of swelling, I do notice it after cardio.
It's good to know there are others on this site who are really into fitness. :-).

I tried that but my body didn't like the yoyo affect for me!! I haven't lost strength or endurance so I stick with what works...too many carbs in this mouth and I just want more and not the healthy ones lol:-) lucky you:-)

Believe me, carbs are my downfall too, but I'm training to compete is a strongwomen event after I'm 1 year post op and trying to deadlift 315lbs doing low-carb is just crazy...lol. After powerlifting I may do another triathlon so I have to lean up again. The good thing about adjusting my diet a couple of times of years is that my bf % stays stable it's only the muscle mass I adjust so I avoid the "yo-yo" effect and keep my metabolism healthy. Challenging the body in different ways keeps the fun in fitness. :-)

You look AMAZING!!!! Wow! That is one killer tummy you have got. Great belly button :). You were such a support for me when I had surgery. Now I am almost 5 months post op, and love my results! Funny about that post workout tightness…I still get end of the day tightness/hard swelling in the MR. And still numb. Do you also have a patch of numb area?

I think you are much too young. I was having crazy periods last fall (I am 43). They were coming every 17 days! Called my PCP. They sent me for ultrasound (and of course then I thought I had ovarian cancer and was not pre-menopausal). Turned out I had a benign cyst on my ovary. It resolved itself and everything was back to normal.
Why do you think you may be starting?

My mom started really young I'm having hot flashes and very erratic periods one was 28 days Long then nothing for 2 months and this one is death.. Sounds like I need a trip to the gyno but last time I was there she couldn't feel anything..she said women who have tummy tucks it's impossible to get a good sense of the ovaries so I guess it's time for an ultrasound!!! Thank you

Good luck! Hopefully she can feel something now. Otherwise maybe you need the ultrasound. It's a bit uncomfortable (they do it trans vaginally) but may give you answers.
If your mom went through it early you are probably right. Oh the joys of womanhood!

It is possible. Your Gynecologist can tell you. There is a test that can determine if that's the case. Good luck.

It happened to me when I was working out heavy and I got down to 10% body fat before a trip to Hawaii. I didn't have a period for 3 months and then I was so irregular.
L
March 27, 2015
Well I had one when I went to Hawaii for 28 days straight then nothing!! Now late with hot flashes cold sweats and terrible sugar cravings... Which I NEVER get im drinking magnesium and that's helping.. God I don't think I'm 10% but people say I'm low!! Maybe it's hawaii since we both had that in common lol!!!

I would skip periods when I worked out a great deal and ate few carbs. I would spot and that was it. Body fat will increase a woman's estrogen, so the lower your body fat, the lower your estrogen.

March 30, 2015
Yeah I think you're right.. Just so happens I do have pretty low body fat (no bbl for me:-() and I eat strict low carb most of the time so that explains it!! And.. Our estrogen starts dropping anyways after 40 which I joined that club last year lol ohhhhh life:-) thank you for your input;););)

Can't believe I just saw this…I LOVE MACA!!!! But start slow! Ironically I just posted on someone else's thread suggesting maca, because they have been having pms & cramps since surgery months ago. Anyhow…I am 36 and have had pms horribly since a jr high. When I started using it two years ago….Hardly any more pms!!! (note: I never had cramps in my life, but my pms is all mood swings, tension, anxiety, and headaches) I take a liquid extract form of it though. Loved the powder, but for some reason it made me itchy???? Weird. But I can take the liquid. I only take 1/3 of the dosage though. more than that actually GIVES me hot flashes. I'm just an odd ball i guess. ;)

Lol I get horrible cramps forever but since I lowered my body fat it's way better!! Im going to try this stuff..thanks for your input it's appreciated:-)
