28 Yr Old Mother of 2 - Can't Wait to Feel Confident! - Edmonton, AB

Looking good! Scar look really thin still and I like how the belly button turned out. I've seen some belly buttons that hope won't be an outcome for me but I think I'm in good hands with Toy. Thank for the update. I'll shoot you a message when I'm ready for surgery if your interested. Can't wait.

You'll get back into it before you know it. For now maybe focus on implementing ONE of your routines at a time. :)

Hi! You look great! If you remember, we've had a pretty similar journey and time frame. For what it's worth, I went through an exercise and poor eating slump as well. I've gained 6 pounds since surgery. I just now feel that I'm getting back into my fitness and food routine. Like literally, this week! I was feeling pretty bad too, but then I decided to give myself a big break. Like you, I'm so happy that I went through with the surgery. At the same time, looking back, the physical and emotional toll is a really big one. I think after the initial recovery is over and we're cleared for normal activities we feel like we should get right back on it. I don't know about you, but I think at that point I was just plain exhausted. Exhausted from healing, exhausted from the stress of recovery the process and worrying about the outcome. I just didn't have the emotional energy to worry about working out and dieting. From what I've read on here, the final result is really at the one year mark. You look great now, you'll look even better six months from now. You've got this!

You are amazing and you look amazing! We had surgery on the same day. I've struggled with a lot of stress not related to my surgery. I've also been terrible at returning to my normal routine as far as working out and eating well. My weight is up as well and it's super frustrating. However we'll get there and get all our ducks in a row! Yea! Thanks for being honest but upbeat :)

I just found your post... how does everything look now?

Woohoo you sexy thang! Wow, I'm so proud of you. I'll be posting pics soon. Just got home from Alabama. What a week! Phew, so glad to be home. Check ya later doll. You're looking smoking hot! Way to recover

Haha we might be on the same cycle, I've felt extra stressed today too. I've was thinking about you and wondering how your belly button was feeling, and it looks great! Your results are looking awesome. Babe! :D

How are you? I notice that you haven't posted in a while and was wondering how you're doing. I agree with you - not being able to work out stinks! I think it actually makes me crave junk food. I've been trying to balance eating and exercise in this post surgery recovery - it stinks. I love to bake and I'm great at making deserts - I'm also pretty good at eating desert too ;)

Hey how are you doing? You haven't posted in a while and I was wondering how you were making out. How's the swelling, gone down and mostly gone? Are you 100% satisfied with your results? You had s little lipo on flanks, are you happy with that and can you tell a difference? Be great to hear from you as see a few pics!

Binder being too tight would make a lot of sense!!! Maybe it compressed or pinched that area of skin and caused the discoloration. No matter what I think taking it easy is a good idea!! :)

Agree with juls... maybe try a pair of spanx now? You'll still get compression but it may be distributed more evenly. I think it looks much improved since yesterday!

Hi! I agree with Amber about switching to a spanx like garment. Two weeks in my ps told me to switch. Just might be that the binder is concentrating your swelling all into the middle. Good luck!
