I was just rereading all my posts from 2 years ago, just thought I'd update as I trained in Les Mills Body Combat in June this year and am now teaching, on the stage with a mic, a real fitness instructor ????????????. It's only a hobby but I just wanted to share, I could never have imagined this a couple of years back. Oh and I lied about never doing abs/sit ups/crunches etc, I do them all the time and my core has never been stronger. Hoping this gives somebody out there hope :)

Getting fit again

Ah so I have upped my exercise the last month or so, I joined a gym and have been going most days, still doing one or two runs a week but varying my exercise a bit more. My abs are getting a little stronger, I still modify most of the exercises and do more pilates style core strengthening. I still get sore where the hernia repair was and it hurts when one of the kids bashes my scar, other than that I am feeling really, really good, :-D. So I thought I would share a few pics from the past.. From a few months after my 3rd pregnancy to now.. I actually weigh more now than I did just before the op but I think it is healthy muscle gain - at least that is what I am telling myself! I go back to see the surgeon next month, I am gonna give him a big kiss when I see him lol!

I had a tummy op in Jan. Not back at the gym yet but doing loads of walking. I have numbness and swelling below scar that only seems to come at the end of the day. I am really pleased with results and my only regret is I did not do it earlier. Now I can go through the menopause with a tight belly. I wanted to know the worse outcome so anything above this would be a bonus, however no one told me about the first sneeze and laughing which I have to say was bloody painful. Still giving the cats and son scars when I sneeze. You look amazing and have come along way. Well done.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm in Perth also and having my surgery on the 30th March. Your results look fantastic!

Mark Hanikeri. I've seen some of his work on here and looks fab! Also the before and afters at my first consult. I see him on Wednesday (18th for final consult) then the 30th for surgery. I'm so excited and nervous.

Also, I go to the gym quite a bit (5-6 days a week) how long did it take for you to get back into any exercise?
March 14, 2015
I think it was about 8-9 weeks before I started running. I stayed away from the gym a little longer. Mine was a big repair though

Jazzy, you are my inspiration as we had very similar tummies and weights pre-surgery. I'm just praying I get to be as flat as you after a few months! Thank you so much for posting updated photos and for letting us know about your exercise regime. You look amazing and should be so proud.
