Hi guys! I'm also at 5 months (Dec 18th surgery date) and my swelling is INSANE! Especially after I have a few cocktails. I sleep with the binder, but between after work drinks and exercise, it has been bad. You can see and feel the swelling - it's SO uncomfortable! And it was down for a while.... I've read/heard 6-8months is the norm. Only two more months lol

LOL I have been itchy... I try to scratch and I'm so numb. It's sooo strange. If I'm home I take an epsom salt bath and it usually goes away :)

I've found it's SO hard to do some ab workouts, but others are a breeze - because I was tightened up maybe? And I ALWAYS swell. No matter what.

I LOVE working out. I'm finally healthy - knock on wood hehe! I've been running, doing weights, Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and hot yoga. Hot yoga takes the swell away. Fantastic. Even if it's just for a few hours!

I have rolls when I sit down!!! I HATE it! I was WAY less swollen before. I keep thinking it's because I'm eating like a normal human and I'm getting FAT. I measured myself Sunday night, then again Monday morning. During the night - with my binder on - I went down FOUR inches. Seriously FOUR inches.
