No More Drama

10 weeks out and tummy is bigger than ever :(

Don't cry. It probably took awhile before you took the TT plunge. You've gone through the marathon. You just need to get through that last mile or so! Oh, and by the way, keeping up with kids, cooking and cleaning IS working out. So don't sell yourself short! :)

Cherrybabi, I know exactly how you feel with the swell hell. I am 13 weeks post op and still swell like crazy. I even had to buy a new binder as I wore out the velcro on the other one. I felt like it was screaming - NO MORE, PLEASE! I was flatter at 8 weeks, started exercising and blew back up. I swell when I work out, I swell when I don't. So I might as swell and hopefully lose some weight while looking 6 months pregnant. But when I get depressed, I pull out my "before" pictures and all seems right with the world. Congrats on passing your PT!!

You look so awesome! Isn't it cool to wear dresses again? You look fab in yours. I bought one that I saw that I really liked. When I got home, I tried it on again and my 17 year old son said to me, "Mom, you look smokin' in that dress!" When your teenage son says that, you just know you did the right thing. Congrats on getting back into the P90X. I just started Zumba (which I love) and Pilates (which is still a little too hard on the core for me right now) and resumed my 5 mile walks. My PS also challenged me to lose 15-20 more pounds by years end and that is my new goal. You keep going girl - and thanks for keeping us all inspired!!

To put a positive spin on the vajayjay puffiness, we can always tell our partners that it is a special waterbed-like pillow for them to rest their heads on.

I love your description - magical valley! Lol!
