Congratulations on your results.  How did the weekend go for you with recovery?

August 1, 2016
Hi, I won't lie had a hard couple of days bruising is coming out a lot now but still taking one day at a time :)
August 2, 2016

The bruising gets very colorful for a while which is normal.

August 2, 2016
Haha it is at the moment. I'm still really swollen can't wait for it to start going down x
August 3, 2016

The swelling is a pain!  Keep the diet clean and stay away from processed foods.  The sodium in those will blow you up.

I can't hardly eat at the min, drinking loads of water not actually as sore today! Thank you so much for the advise! X

Eat tiny little meals several times a day.  For about the first month I was only able to east about a half a cup of food at a time.

I am, feeling a lot better now, still very bloated though slowly going down, not in half as much pain now just sometimes feel like I'm gonna burst lol..

And electric shock pains in my lower tummy what's that all about!
August 5, 2016

I remember that feeling:)

August 5, 2016

Yep, the shooting pains.  Your body has been to H*&% and back and it's all a part of the recovery.  Gas pains, swelling pains, tightening up.  It's all a part of this crazy process.

Wish I had someone like you to talk to before I had it! Glad it's all normal though can't say I'm loving it haha, can't wait to sleep on my side and the tightening goes a bit, it's always worse afternoon evening.

I'm finally starting to feel abit normal and am putting a before and after photo up haven't been brave enough before only my husband and surgeon have ever seen my tummy. After 8 children and 5 stone weight loss it wasn't a pretty sight! I went into surgery at 170lbs too heavy I know however I had stuck at this weight for ages.... I'm now 160lbs and watching what I eat trying to shift some more weight! I feel ok now most days anyway onwards and upwards :)
