2/20
Today was my follow up with my PS. I still have some belly fat on my upper abs and I was so sure it was just fluid and a quick fix. Well no he informs me that its fat. That I might have to get lipo to get it out. Then his assistant suggests that I can just stay away from whites and that fat will fall off. Six weeks until my follow up again and I dont know my thoughts on doing lipo again.
I think I will try to make a effort to get rid of this on my own but I will not hesistate if its still pronounced. Heck I dont have to pay for it (or wait the pain can cost just as bad as money).
Otherwise I love my lower abs and my legs.. Heck I love my flanks as well. Its only my upper belly thats just not flat!

I understand how you feel and I have a strange feeling I may have to consider the same but my PS haven't said anything yet. But I see it in my lower stomach. I too said the same thing... "It's time to do my part" Let's see what happen in 6 weeks...

Kimmers and strickker this process has taught me patience. I am going to wait but I have to admit that I am disappointed.

I am past my five week mark. I purchased a full body spank that I alternate with my cg with compression tights.
I know that my "gut" is gone but I still want to be smaller. I have started to run again and was so happy to actually get past that 10min mile today. I am doing 30 mins on the treadmill. I can only hope to be back to my old time by April.

Wow!! A 10 minute mile at 5 weeks PO?? You give me hope girl!! :) Your scar is really awesome, you're doc did a great job!

I'm so impressed with the fact that you're running already! My dr. wants me to wait a bit longer due to the hernia repair. I'm impatient, but I don't want to screw things up, so I'll hold tight. You look great, MommieD!

Surro thanks for the complement. You should wait young lady :). I was suprised how I have progressed cause that first walk had me thinking that I would never run again. But then again 5 weeks ago I couldn't imagine standing upright. I am hoping that once my abs are not so swollen then my time will improve. For some crazy reason I can't wait to use my core.

Part of the reason I'm holding off is because my dr. said "light jogging" is okay, but I'm not sure I know how to lightly jog! I know myself too well, and I know if I go out, I'm going to go faster than I probably should. I'd been doing my training runs at about an 8:20 pace, racing at about a 7:35 pace average. I'll start with the walk/run, but if its anything like after my c-sections, it won't take me long to get back to a full run. Slow just isn't in my vocabulary. :(

This is the end of the month and so different than how I started this month and year. Yesterday my PS took off the tape and I was able to see my "scar". Its barely there. I mean he used some gel and tape instead of stitches and boy I can see how this is going to heal and you will never know I had my body cut off from hip to hip..
I will take pics once I get all the glue off so you can see a true pic of it.
I still have days of wondering WHY... but I know that once the swelling has left then all will be GREAT!

I would wait and give this some time. Don't rush into the lipo just yet. Let your body heal some more and settle. You can always do the lipo later.
