Wow its been almost 5 months since i have updated!
Im feeling good. Still have tightness especially after sitting for a long time. Im back to my full workouts and doing well. I still swell mostly hormonal times. But I have a "shelf" above the incision line, and feel like i coulds pop!
I started taking birth control shortly after surgery cause I dont want to mess this up yet! =) Ive gained about 15 pounds and i say its gotta be the birth control cause my eating and exercise is pretty good. I am bout to buckle down and loose it though!
All in all im happy with my results.

Went to Happy hour and really over did it. Way too much wine, lobster tails & sushi. Blown up like a BALLOON! Salt lovers beware.

Hey Sarahbug! :-) You are looking so great and good for your for being so good at exercising like you are. I agree, men can be such dogs. I honestly cant say I have had men do that to me but if they did I would be pretty ticked and embarrassed too. Good on you for standing up for yourself. You must be looking amazing though to be getting that reaction. I've honestly never had that happen to me before or after my TT. I feel like I dont look very well yet. I still have too much swelling to see that big a difference. I'm so happy for you that your doing so GREAT!! Way to go!!! :-)

Hey ladies Things are getting back to normal!
I am 8+ weeks and been back to the gym full impact for 2 weeks. Jogging a mile a day, and about 1 hour of additional cardio. I have been doing leg/butt exercises as well squats, lunges, deadlifts, leg press. Im not allowed to do AB's till 3 months Po like Grace. But I am feeling great!
I have posted some pics that are A.M./P.M. to show swelling.I should have taken a side view as that really shows it! It can be annoying but even the swelling is better than what I had before.
I love my new tummy, now I can actually see what I'm working with! It does make me notice other flaws, but I do my best to ignore the impulse to obsess over a new "part". I am inspired to exercise harder and eat as clean as possible.

Anyone else getting a little annoyed with the extra attention? I never have had problems attracting the opposite sex, even at 256 pounds i had a pretty face and Generally Im a sweet person (sorry if that sounded conceded, but Im not!). But now the over the line comments have dramaticly increased since getting my new waist. Really where the hell do men get off thinking they can say whatever they want? Its disgusting the way some men act. The girls at work get a kick out of it, men literally tripping out the door looking at me. But I'm embarrassed. A man yesterday when I was leaving a coffee shop made some long mmm groan and when I said "dirt ball" he said "I'm Sorry you just got it exactly like it should be". For real who the hell are you!?! Who gave you permission to comment on my temple?! Its really starting to [RS bleep] me off. These have really been the only moments I regret having my surgery.
Sorry for the rant But I'm sure you ladies can relate

I am not laughing at you but I love how your description in your recent update..LOL

Some men have better tact than others in the compliment department.  And then there are those who my friend calls social idiots.  

All you can do is hold your head high, smile, be proud of what you have done for yourself, and keep walking.   Most men just really appreciate a beautiful woman but some express it better than others.  A simple smile and hello would work, and yes we can do without the moans and groans.  

Please don't have any regrets about what you have done.

Lol yes Kimmers I was feeling pretty pissed off yesterday. Social idiots is a perfect description!
At least the inappropriate comments help us weed out the dogs. I will hold my head high and be proud, thank you =D

Men can be pigs that's for sure! But on the flip side you must be looking like some sort of wonderful to be making that much of a fuss! ;0)
