2 years post op - The reality

So its been a LONG time since I posted on here...I needed to review my photos as Ive put show much weight on and feel disgusting and need to re motivate myself. Ive always been a bit 'chubby' 12/14 but lost weight before the op. Then lost weight after the op and as you can see from post pics I kept my curves but I went down to a size 10. Even an 8 in some tops! But as time went on I very slowly put weight on...it crept up so slowly I didnt really notice until its too late... I now weigh 11.06 and this is the HEAVIEST IVE EVER BEEN non pregnant? WTAF? Why have I allowed myself to do this?

So warning to others.. that odd pound one month, the odd pound the next month matters. Sort it out! Ironically my belly is still relatively flat but my god, my arse, legs and back fat :-((( thats where it goes.

Here are some pics from July 16 and Jul 17.. this when the weight started to creep on... Ill be brave tomorrow and post some pics of me now...I am going to try my hardest to get back what I had and stop using the excuse of "Im alive and healthy, so what?" Ive had a stressful year (ILL HEALTH/BEREAVEMENT/STRESS!) and believe medication and stress has caused weight gain. Its not the end of the world but for a year after op I felt the happiest in my own skin, more than I ever have. Trying on clothes and looking good in them.... Ill get it back.

So how are the rest of you post ops doing? So much pain, a fab result and really don't want to ruin it!!
Advice from others ahead of me??

14 weeks post op...

Well sorry been a while! I've been busy getting my appetite back !! Not a good thing lol back to slimming world as I've put 7 lbs on . I'll lose it ..slowly !
So still very pleased with results. My skin has finally loosen , was so so tight. Sadly I've developed new stretch marks down by my scar which has annoyed me but still no one will see them but me. I guess it's just the type of skin I have. Bio oil twice a day not enough for me.
It's taken a while to feel normal again. Longer than I expected and I'm not a lazy person at all . I can now run and I'm just trying to get my fitness back. Slowly but surely. Legs and arms need sorting out before I wear that bikini.
Here are my latest pics. Xx

10 weeks po and HAPPY!!

Just a quick update. Belly looking fab, still a bit tender on the abs but no pain. The stretching exercises help as I am very tight still. Tried on a ???? For the first time yesterday. Looked great... Just need to work on legs and bum though lol
