Almost 3 months out

Not much has changed my stomach is still jiggly and will never be tight. I can hide it in my clothes but that isn't the point. I feel defeated. I know I look and feel way better but I can't help but feel that my dr could have removed more skin to make my stomach tighter. I have a follow up next week and I m going to ask what can be done.
I am pretty much back to normal activities with still a few muscle spasms here and there. Other than that pretty much smooth sailing. Happy healing ladies!

Jiggly belly not cool at all
So I am just over two months post op and my stomach is still flabby. My ps told me it was just swelling but I think not. I read other profiles and compare theirs to mine and I know I shouldn't . I know we all heal differently and some have better skin elasticity and less fat under the skin but.....but....but! I want to look like them!
I am 10 pounds less than surgery date but guilty of eating salty snacks. These pictures were taken at the end of the day my morning tummy is a bit better but not much.
I am thinking more lipo in a few months.
On another note sneezing and coughing are still painful but getting a bit better. My belly button still leaks once in awhile and my incision above the pubic area bleeds every once in awhile.
Let's hope month 3 is the magical month and all this "swelling" goes away.

7 weeks post op
I haven't updated in awhile I have been busy planning a superhero & villains party for my husband. It seems like the weeks have just flown by I am now 8 weeks post op.
My incision has closed with the exception of the holes from my drains. They look like two eyes....kinda creepy. They itch like crazy too. My stomach muscles are still sore. When I wake up in the morning sometimes I forget and stretch out a bit too much and my oh my it does not feel nice.
On the bright side my clothes feel so much better. I had to donate all my "fluffy" clothes they are all too big. I had some clothes from way back when that I can fit into with room to spare. I love shopping for clothes now .
I saw my ps last week because I am concerned about the flabbiness of my stomach. He says I am still swollen and to give it time. I don't know I think I am doomed to a life of jiggly belly. We shall see.....
My skin has lots of stretch marks so now it is very thin and irritates easily. I had a band aid over my belly button and when I removed it my skin tore....no fun at all.
Well that pretty much sums up my 8 weeks
