30 Year Old with 2 Kids - Alpharetta, GA

I can't believe it's been almost 8 months since I had my surgery. I had a big move in May.we moved to Germany.back to my home country yay.i had a hard time getting back in my gym schedule because of the move and the kids being home for so long.after school finally started for the kids by the end of August I have been to the gym about 4-5 times a week and I feel a lot better about myself but it's been very hard to do a good diet because of the good German chocolate and other delicious food lol.
I still feel very good about my surgery.the only concern I still have is my belly button.you can still see the scar very clear.my doctor said from the beginning because I tan very fast my scars are dark.i had to use and still using a bleaching cream but because of summer I couldn't really use it a lot because I'm not allowed to lay in the sun with the cream on the scar.since it got cooler now I have to keep putting it on and hopefully the scar finally gets lighter.besides that I love it and don't regret it at all

Finally made it to 6 weeks.the nurse said I can go back to my normal routine including the gym yay!! I still have to be careful of the weight I pick up.i love my results but still swollen specially by the end of the day.most of my pants finally fit.i don't have to wear my spanx anymore but I still do because it just feels more secure around the incision.i also started with my scar treatment of silicone strips.i don't use anything else besides that.i like how low my cut is but its uneven on the sides.the one side goes further back and higher but hopefully it won't matter when I'm able to wear a bikini.i just need to find one what goes a little higher on the sides.the nurse told me that I'm able to wear my regular underwire bras again as long as the wire is like a U-form and goes all the way around the breast.are you guys allowed to wear them also after 6 weeks post op?

I finally made it to 5 weeks.I'm still swollen on my lower abdomen and sides.its annoying because hardly any pants still don't fit.it hurts specially where they did lipo on my flanks.i haven't been to the doctor for 2 weeks because of the crazy winter/ice storms we've been having down south.its been healing pretty good as far as I can see.i still have all the tape on it.cant wait till I can finally put the silicone strips on and that I don't have to wear my medical bra anymore.i'm in my spanks since 10 days post op also without the binder because I had an allergic reaction to the material of the binder.i had a red itchy rash all over my belly and back.it was pretty crazy.i had to take Benadryl on top of my other meds so I was tired most of the time.
