Where did 6 months go - brief update and pictures

Thanks sweetie. Feeling good and pretty normal. Hope all is well with you

Time for a little update from you also. Things going well? I feel great....even worked outside yesterday in just a bra top- this is a first for me....first time in adulthood that my abdomen has been exposed to the sun ---lol. Have to get over being self conscious and was thankful a shirt was handy when my 18 yo came home from school with 3 friends but all good. So, so glad I did this and hope your are also

Thanks for your very kind words :-) I was just looking at your profile and you look great. Isn't it nice to not be constantly trying to hide our stomachs. It just gets better and better with time also. I still swell a bit (like this morning) but that was after a very heavy gym session and yard work for hours yesterday. Most days I don't even notice it anymore. Enjoy your new body and go get another tiger picture someday without your hand wrapped around your belly- that made me laugh.

Hey. I haven't been on in a very long time but was just creeping and found your update. Sorry I haven't kept in touch- bad me - but you know how life gets in the way :-) You are looking fantastic and it sounds like you are doing great. I forget all about this little surgery most days---- scar is even fading nicely....swelling above the incision line that I hope goes away because it looks like a little weird roll of fat but I'm just nit- picking. I look at before pictures for a reality check :-)

Thanks my dear and you will also. Your "wish" picture is basically you without the funky skin :-) I really didn't lose a lot of muscle during recovery. Eat well... Lots of protein....get moving ASAP (per your doctor's schedule) A small period of inactivity will not be an issue in the whole scheme of things. Best of luck
