Saw Doc on Tuesday of this week and he finally released me to do cardio! Yes!!! I must say I am getting better and better every day it seems. I think I'm finally getting to my final size - but I do know it can take up to 6 months. Still stiff in the mornings and can get sore in the evening from the lovely swell hell... but I am truly so happy with my results. Bought me a new bathing suit and will hopefully be wearing it this next week. Using scar cream from Doc's office and silicone strips now. Scars are looking good - just ready to feel "normal"... still have lots of numbness! Still having to wear my compression garments. They do the most good though - with warding off the swelling!

Houston-so glad you are doing well. And you look great!! What is your goal size?

I had no goal in mind, but am happy to say I was size 12 on day of surgery and am now in an 8.

Sorry about the swelling. It is a pain in the a$$ but we know it will pass in time.

Keep up the good work and don't over do it.

Thanks Ram! I had no goal in mindeither! I was a 14-16 and now I am a 10-12 and I've very happy with that! Will definitely watch myself with overdoing it! I literally lose a whole day after I push too hard - sets me down and doing nothing for the next 24 hours it seems...

Took a while to upload... had to do them...

took a while to upload... had to do them individually. Pardon the little handprint on the mirror - that is thanks to my precious little niece. My favorite part is getting to wear cute panties... always wore granny panties before... will just be glad when I can wear them daily and I'm not in the compression garment. As for progress, I'm chugging along. It's definitely still a roller coaster - some good days, some bad days. Yesterday was a bad day - but it was from overdoing it through the weekend. I still have such a respect for all you women who have gone back to work... I don't know how you do it! I feel blessed to be able to take naps when I'm tired and do little things around the house as I need to - and I don't have any children at home to take care of! Hats of to you ladies who do!!! Another picture update in another month! Happy flat tummies and perky boobs to all!!!
