Oh good grief! I really thought I was only going to have one procedure and be finished. However, as life is always about progress, as I continued to work out these past two years, I have started to have more loose skin. On the sides, flanks. Returning in one month to have complete circumfrential w/ some lipo. Also part of my scar revised.
I look back at my pictures I posted and I was so so skinny, with no butt. After squatting almost everyday for the past two years my body has changed. I have a butt now. Hoping this is the last time I visit Dr Friedman. I am ok with some imperfections but these ones- not so much. Will post pictures soon!

Oh my goodness I can't believe it has been seven months. It feels like it has been years.
I returned for my 6 month post op, and had to bring my twins. Not a good idea bc I still had some concerns which I wasn't able to fully address while they were behaving like ninjas.
Is there a one year post op?
So here is an updated pic of me in a bikini. Do you think I can pull it off? I am still so self conscious and have body image issues, so I don't think that surgery corrected those. We are our own worst critics.
I still think the surgery was worth it. Definitely.

"while they were behaving like ninjas" --- Boy, so I understand THAT statement! I have two year old twin boys at home :) Ok, listen, I don't know WHAT your concerns are, but you look FANTASTIC! I see definition in your abs, and your body looks amazing in that bikini! I had my TT on November 6th, so I am literally one months behind you. You look awesome!

Back to reality! ;) so I returned to crossfit last thurs. And here was the wod:
A)20 min amrap 5 hspu, 10 toes to bar, 15 med ball cleans with 14# med ball B) 15min amrap 5 push ups, 10 sit ups, 15 air squats. Most exercises were modified. Omg I was dying the next day. My incision was hurting not too bad, but my quads, butt, and pecs more. Taking almost seven weeks off was killer! I enjoy the pain from working out bc I know I'm doing something good for my body. I was able to return Saturday. Twice the first weekend is all I will do. I took pics this am and I can say I'm still not fully happy with the way my torso looks. Part of me wishes I had done the lipo to flanks or had him to extended Tt to pull more skin from sides and back. In my mind I still don't look smooth. I just need to be patient, wait out the full six months then decide from there. Did anyone else have this feeling afterwards? I just don't feel like I look finishes. My sides still stick out. Urgh. Maybe today is just a down day. My mirror is dirty bc my 3yo sprayed it with tide stain remover. Thanks buddy for the help!!

I am 11 weeks po and I feel exactly the same I wish I had have pushed for lipo too but I'll also wait to 6 mos and see where I go from there but until then I have 9lbs to lose so hopefully that'll make my fat backs look less because at the minute they're all I can focus on and bit the great outcome from the TT :( you look great btw :D [RS bleep]
