I'm so ashamed. I've gained 55 pounds since my Tummy Tuck.
I've had a very rough few moths and I've gained 55 pounds since my surgery. I'm so ashamed. How could I spend that kind of money and throw it all away?
My depression returned and I allowed it to consume me. I ate just like I used to. There are a lot of things that I attribute to it but I feel like I am simply using them as an excuse to eat. I know I was depressed (probably still am although I'm doing much better) and I've gone through a lot of emotional turbulence over the last year and a half. It doesn't change the fact that I've gained the weight and now I have to start all over.
I'm writing this embarrassed but hoping it will keep me accountable.

3 months post-op
As of yesterday, I'm officially 3 months post-top from the tummy tuck. I wish I was feeling better but this weight gain has me down in the dumps :(
I've been dieting again for about a week and a half. Working harder on the treadmill (more incline since I can only walk per the PS) also. The scale isn't moving. Literally. It has stayed the same for 5 days in a row. My body has done this since I started this journey 6 years ago. Any change to diet and/or exercise and I stall completely. The hard part is sticking with it until I push through the plateau. Ugh! I feel so guilty and angry with myself that I let my old habits and cravings creep back in. The binge eating and the lack of self-discipline.
It helps to read stories here on RS of others with similar struggles. I don't like to feel sorry for myself because that is how I always ended up just throwing in the towel and succumbed to my old ways. I'm praying that I will stay the course and see the weight come back off. Wish me luck girls!

It's not necrosis! Whew!
Saw my PS yesterday and the sore I have is not necrosis. He said it's likely a burn (I was in the sun for half an hour the day the bruise showed up) or a reaction to the sunscreen. The reason it I taking so long to heal is that is the furthest area from the blood supply after the tummy tuck. He said it doesn't look infected and to keep treating it as I have been. That's good news!
I still cannot workout though :(
He says I am still healing as it is still sore when I cough or press on my belly. He said to walk and keep wearing my binder. This was kind of upsetting. Even though I have no intention of going against his recommendation, I am struggling to keep weight off with just diet. And to be honest, I'm not making very good food choices and feel myself thinking like I used to. Exercise was my anti-depressant and not having the ability to do that, I start to feel sorry for myself. Especially with this 10 pound gain since the surgery. I should weigh less not more. Ugh! So frustrating. Enough complaining. I'm still happy I did it and would do it again knowing what I know now. Off for a walk! TTFN LADIES!

Provider Review
Dr. Wali is a magician! He is very professional and to the point. "Dr. Wali, can I start exercising?" "No, rest." I love that about him. He probably doesn't know it, but he makes me laugh because of his seriousness and directness. I'm so happy I chose him. He takes such an artists' approach to his work and takes such pride in it. When he is examining my tummy, I can tell he's proud of the work he did so that must mean I will look great when all of the healing is done.
