First Timer - Looking for Advise - Hamilton, OH

4 months post op and for the first time in 19 years I feel amazing. For the first time in my life I feel free and love myself... this was me last week in Mexico - loving myself and life

So it's been 7 weeks and I feel great... started back at the gym about a week ago and I'm slowly getting back to where I was... I used to be able to run for 40 mins straight but now I get to 10 and have to stop so it's going to take me a little bit to work my way back... bought 3 bathing suits last week as we just booked a trip to the Caribbean in January. This is one of them. I have not worn a 2 piece in 19 years so it's pretty emotional... my scar - I massage everyday still with a gel my PS gave me and yesterday I bought Bio Oil to see if that helps... has anyone ever used that? My belly button is starting to not look as stretched which is great.. when I get undressed I see my husband looking at me like he has never done before and it makes me feel so good... he has always said I was beautiful no matter what but I didn't feel it - until now. This was the best decision I have ever made - aside from marrying him and having my kids that is lol... oh and last night I slept on my stomach for the first time since before surgery... felt so good. That's how I usually sleep so I was pretty excited

5 1/2 weeks PO - first time wearing a 2 piece in almost 18 years... Pretty emotional - I look at the photos and don't even feel like it's me...
