4 Months & Counting
Wow!!
I'm shocked! It's funny how time works. It can either work with you or against you.
Coming into the 2nd month I think I begain to ignor the obvious and take a few steps back. I had overwhelmed my life and family with this surgary and I think we all needed a little mental break. I stopped knit picking at every little single thing and started to appreciate I no longer carried my own burden around anymore. Anything was better then where I was and how I felt. So here I am!! 4 months post op and truly happy with my overall appearance.
Just to touch base with you all on a few things....
1. I never made it to the gym. Still haven't not have I made it back to Yoga!
2. I now notice everything else about my body I dislike.
3. Eating habits have gone back and fourth overall still eating organic! One too many cookies lately...
3. Swelling has improved 85% no longer have those horrible "swell hell" days. More like bloating!
4. I still use my CG from time to time.
5. Still haven't stated scar therapy.
6. Still using Shea Butter and Coconut Oil.
7. Still massaging scar after every shower.
8. 90% comfortable sleeping on tummy.
9. Never made it bk to FL to f/u with surgent. I know... I know...
10. Still have some discomfort in my tummy right side where the drain layed. Whenever I'm too active it tends to pull there, I get like a burning feeling and a pulling like sensation. Don't know what that's about and if I get too swollen it hurts in that area more then anything.
I can do pretty much anything I feel within limits.... And I feel great!
July 4th weekend I wore my 1st bikini out in public and received a compliment from another mom! That was awesome!!!! The hubby and I love every new adventure this has brought! So worth the pain and discomfort! I feel so much better about who I am! I could never imagine a life like that again. Never!!!
Enjoy ladies... Keep strong!! It's worth it in the end.... Xo Ivala
