5 Months and Sooo Happy! New Pics - Drainless TT with Diastasis Repair

You look great! I can't say enough good things about my TT and MR. The drainless and pain management seems to have worked out for you. Good for you that you've been able to sleep well. Keep watching your sodium and take only little meals at a time to help with the discomfort in the tight abdomen. For me it was better each day, each week, but there was a huge difference around 3.5 months (no more swell hell, just surface swelling in places) and then 5.5 months when I had healed so much that I could really exhale without it feeling weird. (hard to explain, you will know when this happens) Happy healing!

Congrats! You look great! I also had a wiggly stretch marked belly. Still have stretch marks. Re: exercise, do what you can like walking, faster and faster, but controlled and deliberate movements using your core. Usually legs aren't affected, so whatever you can tolerate. Be patient. Your body is still healing.

Hi! Drainless TT is less common. There are a couple other helpful reviews and comments - look up beautychick and soontobeflat user names. Good luck!

Hi there. You look great! Your strong body with extra mid-section reminds me of what I got rid of. Congrats and stay on course with your recovery. You'll be back exercising very soon!

Hi Cali! If you can believe, I used to wear my bikini (usually not in the US, but when I vacationed outside of the country) even with my flab and stretch marks. I think little children really thought it was a deformity!! Now, I am much for confident to wear my bikini everywhere. The stretch marks are just part of me. For bikram yoga, I wear a jog bra and yoga pants most of the time, so that I can see myself and my form better and since I'm proud of my strong body there, I vowed to be strong everywhere -- including when at poolside! Of course being a little tan helps as well as certain colors of swimwear, so I am selective about my bikinis. Good luck!
