Loving my body
I've been back at the gym for almost two months now. Loving how I look and being able to set fitness/body goals that I can actually reach.

11 weeks post-op
It's been a bit! But real life happened and I haven't had a minute to update. After the initial surgery and drastic changes during the first month, I feel like the difference day to day is minor. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
I've been back to crossfit since 7 weeks post-op. I've been able to ease back into everything without any discomfort. I even did a few sit ups/crunches and felt ok. I'm not lifting the weight I was doing before surgery, but I'm getting sweaty and that's all that matters. I still get swollen above my belly button in the evening or after a workout, but the swelling is less and less each week.
Photos are from this week post workout. The before and after is 10 days post op vs. 11 weeks.

You go girl! I started working out last week, started slow and had lots of discomfort around my belly button so I decided to do some stretching this week while I wait another week. You look awesome! :-)

My belly button gets the most discomfort for sure. I just try and listen to my body and try to differentiate between pain and uncomfortable . It's so hard! Yoga has def been helpful.

One month update
My scar is healing so well. It's not really red at all. The glue is finally all gone, which makes it look so much better.
My swelling has gotten more manageable and less and less each day.
I am sleeping on my sides comfortably, as well as doing my daily Mom chores without any pain. Aside from a few occasional twinges, I feel back to normal.
Photo is 10 days vs. 4 weeks.

Sorry you've hit a rough patch in your healing. Days 10-21 were def my hardest. Week 3-4 has been a huge difference (in a positive way). Hang in there, it only gets better :)

Wow what a difference with the glue gone!! Scar looks amazing! Tomorrow I have to pull off the tape that is still stuck on my incision. It's stuck in the places where there's dried blood so I can't wait to see the difference. But I'm also scared of pulling the tape off, that adhesive/glue really is stuck on there in some places.

I got in the shower, cranked it up Really hot, and gently rubbed the remaining glue off. The hot water sort of melted it away.
Your results are looking fab as well!! Love following along :))

I'm getting over the muscle too. It's so hard to find pictures for otm. Looks great/natural.

I wanted to go back a week ago! Even to just do minimal body weight stuff (lunges, air squats, step ups). I'm going crazy! I'll probably wait until the recommended 6 weeks, which will be Dec. 28.

When I told my PS I did crossfit, he said OTM without a doubt. All but one lady at my gym has over the muscle and they've had zero issues.
