7 Week Post TT
I am so loving my new tummy! I started working out last week, jogging on the treadmill specifically, but when I did zumba, I swelled up crazy! Usually I'll swell up a little by the end of the day, but It was more than usual. So I did some research and found out that once you start working out, you tend to swell up a little more, something about the lymphatic liquids not being able to move through you as quickly, (I read it quickly! so I may have the name wrong). So when I went to bed that night I massaged myself and by the next morning I felt a lot better. I will say that in the morning my stomach is super flat!
I am wearing a waist trainer now called squeem. It does help with the swelling and since it squeezes in my waist it makes my butt look huge! lol! I am able to wear a t-shirt and jeans now without worrying about having a muffin top. Yayyyy!
I mistakenly said I was using scarguard in one of my last posts, I'm using scar away on the scar. I'll wear the scar away silicon strips during the day and then after I take a shower, I'll rub ambi (a skin lightening cream) on the scar to make it less visible. So far it is working. I'll try to post pics soon.

3 weeks and 4 days PO
I can't believe its been 3 weeks already, its gone by so fast! I am definitely dealing with the "swell hell." It's like everyone says when you wake up you are really flat but by the end of the day you swell up, which sucks. I'm not in any pain any more but at one point the incision was really irritating me, and it feels super weird when I touch my stomach, its hard to describe. My PO says its the nerves growing back.
I'm using scarguard now, it really helped with the irritation but I haven't seen a big difference in the fading, but its only been a week anyway. I also bought a new faja, the one the PO gave me was starting to get very bothersome. I bought one from macy's which I love, its more like shapewear but its tight enough to make me feel secured.
I was able to pick up and hold my daughter this past weekend, I could feel the tension in my belly but I felt strong enough to hold her. I was also finally cleared to drive too. I still have to take it easy because when I move quickly I feel like a pulling in my belly. I can't wait to be cleared to go back to my regular work outs. I can't wait to see some abs!!

Provider Review
Dr. Kaufman is awesome. He made me feel comfortable right away. He answered all of my questions, never rushed or pressured me. He showed me where the incision would go and even did a diagram of how a tummy tuck is performed.
