2 Months Post OP: Wow I can't believe its been 2 months since my surgery! I'm loving my results so much at this point & for the most part I'm back to normal. My energy levels are 100% & I can do everything I did before surgery comfortably. So ladies that have just had surgery hang in there & know it gets better if you're having a hard time. I'm still dealing with the swelling especially when I do too much at work or around the house. The swelling is mostly in my lower abdomen though. I am still really numb all over my tummy. I'm sure it'll be a long time before that improves. I was able to sleep comfortably on my tummy for the first time last night & it was heavenly!!! I didn't sleep that way all night but being able to lay comfortably on my tummy was amazing! I'm back to working out but taking it easy doing cardio & light weights(will be a while before I'm doing Insanity again lol) I'm still using the silicone strips for scar therapy & also using the biooil all over my tummy, to massage my scar & on my BB.

Feeling amazing after my 1st workout! Walked for a mile then jogged for 1/2 a mile & did some weights. May not seem like much but Wow I've come a long way from barely having enough energy to get from the bed to the bathroom! It felt really weird to be jogging again. I thought I'd swell up a lot after but I haven't. Best of all I didn't have to worry about my belly gigglin' as I ran cause it GONE! Whoop:)

Hey Beautychick - Let me know if you've started working out yet. I have to say, things keep getting better and better, more back to normal, but I haven't wanted to push things. But, I found myself able to jog across the street when a car was coming and it felt normal. I'm a big yoga person, so will venture to do that at the end of this week.
Also, are you using anything on your bb? Mine is still swollen on the inside, so I started to use one, but as soon as I take it out -- the little piece of skin swells up again. Oh well. For the long term....
Thinking of you!

Momof3 today will be my first workout & I'm so excited! I love running & before I had surgery I was doing insanity. For now I'll just be happy to walk on the treadmill & do some strength training!lol For my BB I'm just massaging in the biooil & I use mederma scar gel. I wanted to do the marble/earplug but my PS said no. I think our BB's will look a lot better when the rest of the swelling goes down everywhere else.

You look beautiful! Â Â The swelling takes a while to go down so hang on:) Â Â Week by week you will notice improvements.

Thanks Kimmers! It's so much better than it use to be so ur right! I only swell now in my lower abdomen so I guess that's progress. I just can't wait till its gone for good.

I hear ya!! Â It feels like an eternity when you are going through the healing process. Â

YOU LOOK GREAT! You make me wish all my swelling would go away NOW!

Thanks Cherry:) don't worry we're all in the same boat with the swelling. That's the hardest part emotionally all the ups & downs can really get to u. Its just temporary though. Think how amazing our end results will be!
September 11, 2012
Beautychick you are right. I must learn how to be content, I think because my body is feeling better I expect my results to run along the same time schedule!

You look great! I am 11 days post op and our pictures are an exciting look into the future.

Thanks New York! I'm still battling the swelling(especially when I overdo it at work or around the house) but its nowhere near as bad as it use to be!

7 Weeks Post Op: Wow I can't believe tomorrow will make 7 wks since my surgery! I added some new pics with this post. Somehow I lost track of the weeks & thought I was just at 6wks. lol The time has flown by! I've been doing great & everything is pretty much back to normal. Of course I'm still dealing with the swelling & my stomach is still numb. I have some sensation back but not a lot. I can sleep comfortably on my side(have been for probably 3 wks or so). I don't wear the bodyshaper at all anymore but I am still doing the silicon sheeting for my scar. Its a pain in the butt hopefully it'll be worth it. Overall Im very happy with the results...keeping in mind that Im still swollen. I know that the more time passes the better I'll look.Tomorrow I'm starting bk to my gym routine. I'll start off taking it easy walking on the treadmill & doing legs & arms. I can't wait to see the results in another 6-8wks after working out & can't wait to be able to run again. Happy Healing Guys :)
