2 months preop!!! With some swelling...

Hi RS :-) it's been a couple of weeks since my last update. My ps had me bandaged up with some scar strips, so here it goes, my update...
I was doing just great, until this weekend. I decided to go camping, and then enjoyed the beach with my kiddos! It was actually really fun, being able to dig and make castles. Go on walks, laughing and just enjoying nature before my kids go back to school.
On my drive home I started to feel my flanks started swelling and hurting a little, yesterday and this morning have been a pain in the butt!! Literally! Lol
Well I'll post up my pictures so I can show my scars, my swelling, but the difference is still outstanding ;) oh.. I got a bit sunburned too! Life is great

Going on 7 weeks

My ps checked my boobs. The right one was still harder than the left, I guess I shall keep massaging (harder on right) and I had 2 spit stitches, that I enjoyed popping out of my skin. Yes! Sounds gross! But it looked like a black head that needed to be released :-) ha ha ha "I'm sick."
All my scars look a lot better, even TT scars, my ps is now treating my scars and I'm bandaged up still, with some bandages that I guess are better than the scar strips at Walmart? I just know it's working. My last tummy tuck took months for that scar to fade away. I really need to remember to take pictures when bandages are all off...
Anyways, let me talk about weight management oh gosh! The Dread! But I have no clue where else to ramble... I'm only 4 lbs lighter, with my healing and being lazy! I think I should be a bit smaller by now? I mean don't get me wrong, I walk around drive my awesome truck around, and clean this house as vigorously as my body allows, but there's days where I take advantage of having my two older girls and my hunny to help out and I sit and watch some shows that now I'm addicted to. Lol
Plan; Tomorrow it's back to No alcohol "sigh" and less carbs and of course the main thing I dread most of all Cardio daily!
Besides my weight complaint I've noticed a difference. I have a waist, flatter tummy, my c section scar- long gone, perky boobies, and I can't wait till my period is gone to post up the new and improved lady bug over here ;-)

Started to drive my truck!

I'm a little lady ;-) 5'2 with a big truck! Lol. It has been hard for me to jump in that thing and drive that enormous thing around. It's been about 3 days when I finally felt strong enough to get in there and do this. Don't get me wrong, I end up sore at the end of the day and I must take a pain med. or sometimes two! Lol!
Another thing I noticed? I'm no longer hunched!! Ooh ooh (happy dance) but it took me almost a month to get there... I don't mind. I just have to remember that my breast were cut open, stuffed, my tummy was lasered open, cut apart, pulled, chopped and stitched up like a voodoo doll! Lol and let's not even mention the Lipo?! Oooooh I'm proud of my body it's healing well. We girls can go through a lot, right? Well I'm off to run some errands with my kids. Talk to you later
