Peace out Mummy Tummy - Cary, NC

I am still completely happy and excited about the results of the surgery. My scar is still pretty red but everything else looks incredible. I started weightlifting because I am gunning for a six pack. I'm loving squats and deadlifts! I don't think it's long until my abs become more visible, you can already see the outlines with overhead light (but that is cheating, right?) and I am working on getting them to pop so they could be seen from space.
I'm hovering at 18% bodyfat (measured by the slightly inaccurate bioimpedence)

Now that it's been a while I have to admit that I'm unimpressed with the silicone strips. I was hoping that everything would be lighter and flatter but parts of the scar are still a little raised and for the cost of the strips I can't say the were worth it. If I had a time machine I'd tell myself not to bother.

I had my 3 month visit. Everything is looking good, all my stitch problems seem to have resolved and I am feeling way better. My scar is redder than average, and Dr. Stoeckel offered to zap it to lighten it sooner but I declined. It's going to look the same at the end regardless, so I can totally play the waiting game. He took the 3 months pictures and emailed them. I kind of wish I hadn't eaten a brick of sushi before them. I blame whole foods. Anyway, I'm sure they look great to everyone who isn't me, but I feel like my results look way better than the picture shows. It might be that blue background stuff, IDK.

I've been sticking to insanity for a while now, and I'm starting to see some sweet stomach results. (Among other things. I just might have taken to flexing in the mirror every time I go to the bathroom) I am going to have that six pack, if only for 2 weeks or so because I really hate being knit picky about my diet. I'll just get it there because I can, and let it go. I'll be damned if I am going to count calories for a long period of time. I'm a lazy jerk.

I've been working out hard. I've been doing insanity and yoga almost daily. I managed to put on a few pounds of muscle and I think it's filling out my stomach quite nicely. I'm starting to get some ab definition which makes me so freakin happy. I tried to get a picture of it, but it doesn't really do it justice. I guess that means I'll have to work harder to compensate for this poor 4 year old web cam, which i refuse to give up on. ;)

I'm still very happy with my surgery. One of those blasted stitch buggers opened up again, but it is much smaller than it's predecessors. I see my surgeon in a few weeks for my 3 month visit, hopefully it will close by then. I should probably ask which brand of stitches he used so I can avoid it like the plague in the future.

I'm so glad I didn't get my boobs done at the same time. I don't know why but I feel like it would bother me so much more to have stitch drama on my breasts. My girls convinced me to wait saying they'd get better a year or two after weaning so I am holding out.
