Ran 2 miles and did a nice full body circuit. Girls are a bit sore! But otherwise, I feel great!

That's awesome! Did you do any ab workouts? Just curious to know if you did was it manageable?

No direct ab workout. I did goblet squats with kettle bell, lunges, dead lifts and bicep curls. I feel like I could probably do some ab work though. But didn't want to push it on my first day back at it! Figured I will take it easy this week and push a bit more next week and see how I feel.

That's awesome though you did a lot! Can't wait to be at this point. I'm freaking out and watching videos that come up on my news feed doesn't help. 7 weeks and counting till my big day!

You may have said in an earlier post, do you use a waist trainer? Also, you referred to wearing a band to sleep. What type of band? Just the binder? Thanks so much! You look fab!

No waist trainer. Just spanx during the day and my binder at night (easier to deal with when you are half asleep and have to pee). Thanks, I am very happy with my results!

No, I can't believe it! Goes by so fast! I was really lucky with my procedure...I seemed to heal quite quickly. I was having sex @2 weeks and going for walks at 3. I hope to be back in kickboxing by week 10!

Wow! You were lucky! I'm slow going on the recovery, have had some minor issues here and there, but I'm getting there! Looking forward to walking this week at least... getting paranoid about gaining weight! On a positive note, I'm very happy with my results, I'm just about "back to normal", and it's only going to get better! Cheers to us!

You look fantastic. If I knew I was going to look like you I would definitely have it done. But I just can't afford to have done at the moment.

No, it isn't. I still can't fit into most of my pre-op jeans. Swelling in my hips and thighs still.
