7 weeks out
It’s been way too long and I’m sorry! Things are going great. I’m back at the gym (still modifying things but back) I quit wearing my support items at 6 weeks. Scar is looking amazing! I can’t imagine what it will look like in a few more months. I can say everyday is still progress. Some nerves are still numb but coming back slowly and I know from my csections this is normal. The craziest part to me (in a positive way) is how tight my stomach is. I can’t stick it out to save my life :). My husband is amazed at the results and while I continue to say this surgery is not for the weak and I am tough.
22 days Post Op
Well officially 3 weeks in. Feeling better everyday and even went to the gym today for a modified workout to ease myself back into things. NOT trying to push it! Still a bit tight and swollen in the evenings but again every day is better. Had to really reflect on my photos for a bit today. So here’s the thing ... I was in shape before this, worked out heavy and often, in the grand scheme of things, most would say I looked pretty good all things considered, but what we as women don’t realize is how much we “suck in” on a regular basis. It was when I would relax and be able to look 5m pregnant or bend over and have this extra skin in the way, that I realized no matter how much I worked out or lost weight this was not going to go away. That is why I made my decision and looking at this pictures reminds me of the why behind that decision. We all have our individual reasons and story to tell :) so thankful to follow others on this journey
2 weeks Post Op
Well week 2 has definitely been better than week 1. Got my drain out day 10, that made me feel a lot better and more “free”. I have been getting around a lot better and working from my desk more. Swelling going down little by little. Still having to sleep on my back most the evening. Pain pretty much gone except maybe a little later in the evenings if I’ve overdone it a bit. Some mild muscle relaxers when needed have been a life saver bc stomach still get really tight feeling. Nerves are starting to come back which is a very odd sensation some places still numb and some a bit “creepy crawly”. Staying hydrated definitely helps with swelling. I’m continuing to take bromelain Have said it time and time again but just have to remind myself to be patient. Sporting my new swimsuit in the pictures and a comparison to pre-op
