20 weeks! LOVE my results! (NEW PICS!)

Wow. 20 weeks. If this were a pregnancy, I'd be halfway there! Somedays it feels like a pregnancy though (not that I'd really know) with all the swelling. My belly will get so firm and protruded, I swear I look preggo. Oh well! Things have been going great. My body is definitely healing more and more every day. I still can't do ab workouts or bend my back very far, but I'm definitely seeing improvement! It is CRAZY how fast this has flown by. I am so beyond pleased with my results. I also am so so so happy to have such a wonderful support system on here. I had the honor of meeting a few of Dr. T's other ladies the other day and it was SO much fun!!! You all are GREAT & you know who you are! ;) I'm adding some new pics because I got a post-law school spray tan yesterday as a treat to myself. My technician worked with me to figure out the best way to handle the scar, and I think it looks great :) Anyway, not much to update except that I looove my belly and I looooove shopping now! :)

Ummmm, how did 10 weeks fly by so fast?! well, actually, I know how. I went back to school and started a part-time job at a restaurant. But WOW. I cannot believe it's been so long. I've been eating horribly (but have only gained like 1 lb, so that's fine...) but LOVING my body. I finally feel like I have the body I worked so hard for. I'm obsessed with my belly button, and my hip bones, and my shape in general. I'm getting back into the gym and am doing whatever I can manage (no running yet...and def no abs/push ups/etc). Everything feels great, but I'm still swelling like crazy at times (the poor diet probably isnt helping!) I'm about to buckle down for healthy eating during my very stressful finals period, so hopefully all goes well with that! GETTING EXCITED FOR A BIKINI!!!!

Five weeks post op...already?! Wow, time FLIES. Everything has been going great. I'm back at school, which was an interesting adjustment at first (I walk 1.4 miles to and from the law school 3x/week with heavy law books). Dr. T cleared me a few weeks ago to begin "common sense" activity - and for now, I'm happy with the walking. I am soooo close to standing up straight. Now I just need to be able to shrug my shoulders back a little bit and I'll be back to normal. I also walk a little hunched still, especially when I have longer/further to walk. I am slowly lowering my pillows too, and am getting really close to being flat! So much progress! :) I am absolutely loving my incision and have been applying Bio Oil usually twice a day, and am hoping my scar fades away with time. Even if it doesn't Dr. T did such a great job of making it low and straight - that I won't even care if it stays this way. Overall, I can't believe how much time has passed, how much less painful/awful the surgery was than I expected, and how happy I am with my results. I almost can't remember life before my TT. I am so much more confident and optimistic and am learning to love and forgive my former fat girl. I've even started a blog (PM for the website if you're interested) about my weight loss journey (but have not yet disclosed the TT lol) and have been getting so many messages already from people I know asking for help/advice/etc.
