Flat Tummy Happy Mummy :)

To begin with, I have not been on my best behavior on my food and exercise. Boo me. :(
But my jeans haver never fit better! My tummy stays flat! I have gained weight on my thighs which my husband loves so I guess that's why I don't mind it. Lol I'm getting back on my routine again soon. So the PROs, jeans and pretty much any garment I wear fits amazing more comfortable. I used to have to buy larger waist size just to fit my tummy so the larger the waist, larger everything so I looked like I was wearing pants way to big on me. That was the only way to be comfortable. Any good thing is that I haven't seen any weight gain on my tummy. It stays flat. Pretty awesome. Belly button looks great.
So the Cons, sad to say but after doing a little bit more research, I was misinformed by my doctor on my options for scar treatment so I could've had better treatment if I had just researched myself instead of following just my doctors advice. My incision is not perfect. Dark and not straight. :\
Also have two scars from the drain holes. If you can take anything and stick to it would be get as much as scar treatment as you can and research it well. Shop around and ask questions! Wish I would've done that more. Also,I still have numbness, not sure if that's a Pro or Con. Could go both ways.
Not in the whole area but most of it. I get sharp stabbing pains around the incision area after running. Not sure exactly why but I do. I can't really twist yet either. It feels like a hard pinch when I do. I hoping since I'm under the 1 year mark that there's still a lot more healing to do and maybe all these small pain and uncomfortable episodes can go away.

I can pretty much do everything as normal. I still keep in mind not to lift anything over 20 pounds. Even though at work time flies and I feel so comfortable I forget about my restrictions. I have gotten the ok to start working out. To listen to what my body warns me about. I'm excited to get back to exercising. I will start walking then jogging this week. I am watching what I eat to better my results. I still get a tingling and burning sensation every now and then. Doesn't hurt, just feels weird. The SWELLING comes and goes almost everyday. Less in the mornings, more in the evenings. I know it's day by day. I'm patiently waiting for my day to come. I have started my scar treatment with EMBRACE. Hope to see even better results with it. :)

Hello! So far so good. I've been able to walk normal speed now for a couple weeks now. I've been able to do all my daily chores. I even cooked Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and feel great! I have been able to lift my daughter that weighs 26 pounds easier than the I thought I would. Still a long way to go but I feel like the hardest part has passed. Scar looks great. I have been waiting for it to completely heal to start my scar treatmemt. I have moved to a smaller girdle now. The other one was way too big. Nothing fits anymore but I want to wait until next year to shop till I drop! ;)
