Full Tummy Tuck in Monterrey - Mexico

Well I finally decided to get back on a diet. I've been eating way too good for too many weeks. I've gained almost 16 pounds since my tummy tuck! And that's been about a month and a half ago. Now I need to motivate myself to get back to exercising!

I'm getting tired of all this swelling. In fact it seems to be worse now that I'm in my 2nd month! I went to my cousin's wedding this past Saturday and decided to wear a Flexees girdle and a waist cincher. Big mistake. Its like all the swelling got worse in my lower tummy. I didn't measure it until the next morning and it was 3 inches bigger! Imagine that night??? I guess I need to stick with the compression garments. I was hoping I wasn't going to be swelling for 6 months or God forbid a year! I'm still weighing around 170. I still haven't been motivated to go back to the gym. Heck, I might even stop my membership? I have a treadmill and stairclimber at home.

So I've been using Mederma for 2 weeks. There is no way a tube is going to last me a month. Its almost gone and I don't use it everyday. I have noticed the scars lightening up some. I still dislike my belly button. Most of the times its swollen and sticking out, its gross. The darkness from the scar is lighter though. I've been using a girdle instead of my compression garment lately but my tummy seems to get more swollen in the evening. I really don't want to wear the compression garments anymore. Its too damn hot in South Texas. I was thinking of getting a tight girdle and using a waist cincher over it?
As far as my weight. I've gained 9 pounds in the past 3 weeks. I'm still just one pound over since the coming home from Monterrey, but still, I need to start exercising and eat better.
