Tummy Tightening Monologues - Los Angeles, CA

Okay, I just hit the four month mark and still getting very swollen at times! :( I hope this clears by 6 months!! I have gained some weight but, my stomach still looks great. I feel like I am gaining everywhere else!! I worked out all last week and really hard on Friday. I tried to do sit up from lying down flat, hand to the side and all the way up! It was extremely challenging!! I was sore and swollen until last night (Monday) :). This put a damper on things. What are all of you doing to strengthen your cores? I was at the gym on a weighted sit-up machine and could not even lift up one millimeter!! I had to get off real quick when no one was looking!! I was embarrassed! Otherwise, I am doing great! I really need to nip this weight gain in the bud. I have gained 5-7 lbs but, I can really notice in the mirror and certain clothing. Any suggestions ladies?

I get the same swelling by the end of the day or after a run. I especially swell along the upper middle and the lower ab area by my scar. I have been lazy and making bad food choices. I think I put on some weight in my thighs and arms!! I am going to get back on the workout program. I have just been making it 1-3 times a week! :( I am still wearing the Flexees on most days. I am starting to think the numbness contributes to my tightness or swelling feeling. Once I look in the mirror my abs are looking just fine!!!

Everyone swells different, I am still wearing mine (day & night) and can't even imagine working out without wearing it. You can try and see how you feel..Congrats on not wearing during the day..

I had my surgery on the 16th Nov! Are you still wearing a spans or Flexees? I felt terrible end of day yesterday!! Your scar looks great! Great improvement overall! Congrats!

I love the shirt! Your BB is perfect! So exciting that we can train now!!
