Can Someone Please Tell Me When I Can Expect the Swelling to Subside?
So I just realized that today puts me at 19 weeks post op. That's 1 week shy of my 5th month surgeriversary. I'm still dealing with swelling in both the upper and lower abdomen (I really hope it's swelling), but my waist is still small so I guess I'm ok.... I'm so confused! I'm still a size s top and size 8 pants although I have gained back a little of the weight I loss. The only things can suggest is to definitely maintain pick up some good eating/exercising habits. I love food too much to go on a diet, but I'm so scared that my tummy is trying to come back. ???? I posted my pics from today...

I'm 5 years post TT and for the last year I have not seen the inside of a gym. I have gained 10lbs, which is not bad for 5 years. I say that because even though I gained weight, my stomach did not get much bigger. I gained weight in my arms and thighs. I maintained my figure but just a tad bigger... BTW, you still look great!!

I'm just over 6 months post op and still have some swelling, not much but still some so don't worry it will come. I found that following a lower carb, more protein, less calories, low salt really helps, boring but helps a great deal. I have decided to not worry too much over the swelling and sit into this being a year long process.

You still look great... yes I see a little swealling, but could also be bloating which is different and I hear you on the diet and food front. watch out for things like your fiber intake... too low, eat a high fiber to keep you regular, your water intake? and be careful with sodium. Stay strong your doing great.

It's amazing how you get so accustomed to guarding yourself against pain that you don't realize when the pain leaves! Bye bye sore stomach muscles!! I don't miss you at all! I can finally get some real exercise in!
