Almost 11 months post op

WORTH IT$9,500
Hi all! I had planned on waiting for my 1-year mark but took a pic this morning and decided to go ahead and post. So I haven't been eating good or exercising this summer since kids are home from school. I know, I know...... However, I am starting Nutrisystem tomorrow so.... Here is my (almost) 11-month post tummy tuck pic. Scar looks to be fading nicely :)

Not only is Dr. Diaz an excellent PS, his nurse Freddy is right up there with him. They really made me feel at ease and were so helpful with everything. In their care, I am in excellent hands! So glad I chose them!

You look fabulous! So glad to see your update! Your belly button looks cute too.
Thank you, Matea!
Your scar is fading really nicely and your belly is looking nice and tight for almost 1 year PO. We're almost surgery twinsies! I haven't posted yet... I know what you mean about summer and the kids being home and not eating right. So I started eating clean-er a few weeks ago and cutting out my iced coffees and drinking more water. I took up light jogging or fast walking... still don't really feel like working out but I try. One thing I have been working on is my tan bcz I tan easily and end up looking very Hawaiian by the end of summer. I'm not a big believer in diets, but I think making good food choices, smaller portions, and lots of water helps. And not sitting on my butt and reading RS all day also helps. lol. :)
How have you been, chiklet?
I've been on a cleanse - eating healthier, smaller meals, less junk, less iced coffees, more water since summer started... Working on my tan and am getting to near-Hawaiian shade with 3 different bikini tan lines! lol... Ah, the downside of a bikini-bod. I've also been jogging and keeping busy and have lost 5 lbs. 4 more to go... not that I'm really trying tho bcz they're just #s to me but it bothered me that I'd gained 10 lbs since surgery. Of course, that was almost a year ago!! My 1 yr is coming up next month and I'll be in Europe so I'll post when I get back... unless I'm lost somewhere in Paris... ;)

5 months

Tomorrow is my 5-month TT anniversary. Left side doesn't look as smooth as the right side and I think I have a small dog ear. I have an appt in a week or so with my PS to get his opinion on things. I've begun working with weights this week and loving it!

Nice BB! :) Are you using scar tape on your scar line?
Thank you! I like my BB too :) No I haven't used scar tape. I've been using BioCorneum every day. would you recommend the tape?
Nah... not a big believer in the tape, now at 5mos out. I'd just keep it moisturized- biocorneum, or even aquaphor which I think I'm gonna switch to... and let nature run its course.
Results look amazing... Good luck with your appointment.. :)
Thanks! I'll update afterwards.
Look at those abs! You look great! Healing nicely!
Thank you :)
You look great! Your scar is fading well!
Thank you!

4 months already, wow. Glad to hear that you are doing well. You look great.
Thank you! Can't believe its been 4 months. In some ways it's gone by so fast, but in other ways it's going by so slow. I'm sure you know what I mean.
You look great!
Thank you Christie :)
I've been having some trouble with updates on my RS blog (or it could just be MY "extensive" RS blog that's rejecting them) but I thought I'd post a little message on everyone's blog I've been following to keep in touch... so MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you are healing well and may you enjoy your new transformation as the best gift to yourself for this holiday! :)
Thanks chiklet! And the same to you!
Hope you had a great 40th birthday! Sorry this is late.
Thanks! I just saw this :( It was wonderful.
