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:)

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 :)
