42 days post op and loving it!
The pneumonia still continues to plague me. My stomach is still super tight by the end of the day from all the swelling. But I couldnt be more thrilled with the results. People are noticing and I am totally sharing my story about losing 30 pounds through exercise and the last 11 through surgery. Being 40 pounds down from my top weight is lifechanging. I just want to have the happiest retirement years ever! And I want to not follow my mother's path of dying from excess belly fat and diabetes at the age of 65. Life is great, no regrets from this very, very difficult surgery, I am a better person physically but most of all mentally. I thank God for letting me take this road.

Wow you look awesome! I lost 40lbs too and it's amazing how different it makes you feel and how everything changes for the better! Hopefully that pneumonia goes away soon for you!

Thanks so much. My husband looked at me today and said...."You are an entirely different person!" He was talking about how I am emotionally and mentally changed. I am so happy now! Congrats on your 40 pounds down too!

I applaud you!!!! Have you returned back to work and if so how long were you off? How long was it after the surgery where you felt you could return to work? I'm having those same procedures in January so I'm just asking so I can plan accordingly.

I went back to work 4 weeks after the surgery. If I hadnt had the pneumonia I would have been ready. I was really tired the first two weeks and I dealt with a lot of swelling after being on my feet all say. My job is super physical with lots of walking and bending....but if your job is a little more stationary you should be fine at week three or four.

I went back to work this week.
This pneumonia really kicked my tush! I have been getting more energy every day.The doctor says that it will take 1 to 8 weeks to even start to feel better. My tummy tuck scar feels great though. It's tight and with the ab repair it almost feels like I am wearing a Wonder Woman belt. That is how I choose to think of it. We are superheroes aren't we?! The girls at work can not believe how thin I look. My size 10's are big on me and I am finally going to go shopping this weekend. I know I am still swollen because after being on my feet I can literally see my tummy swell and I have cankles. But I am going slowly at work. First day of school is Wednesday. I just hope I can keep up with 26 five year olds! At least I will be wearing my incentive dress I have had for 3 years! Super excited! Thanks everyone for checking in on me. Life is good!

Thanks md! Baby steps right? I just cant believe how much my tummy tuck has changed my heart. I am just so happy now. The confidence I have now is what I had in my 20s. I catch myself just smiling and feeling peace.

I hope your first 3 days are minimum days so you can get some rest in the afternoon. Let your co-workers cover duties, get aides to walk them to the cafeteria, etc. Praying that you heal quickly. Rock that first day of school dress!

Thank you...I already informed everyone if I have a runner or a kicker, the kid is on his own. I am protecting my new belly button!!
August 6, 2017
So glad you're feeling better after your pneumonia. Good luck for your return to work this week. Would love to see photos of your incentive dress
