8 months

So, it's been 8 months and when I look at old pictures of myself I can't help to cry.
I workout a lot, I am trying no to run as much , although I love running, and I am mainly focusing on building muscle.
Last night I noticed my lower muscles ????????, I was shocked and excited .

Please know that a tummy tuck isn't going to give you the "6pack" , but it will motivate you to work for one.
I exercise a lot and I am proud of what I've been able to accomplished so far as well as pleased with the surgery.

7 months update

So I realized it's been a while since I last updated.
I recently flew to WA to see my doctor and I feel much better about everything. Before my visit I was wondering if I had a muscle separation and/or scar tissue which I was sad to consider, but it turns out I don't . My body is healing well, just seems to want to heal in a unique way, lol . The bulge I used to notice is much smaller and shows significantly when I feel bloated,like right before my menstrual cycle. Other than that my stomach seems normal.

I have been working out a lot and have lost 6 pounds since surgery, I weight around 140lbs and I'm 5'2". I have notice more definition. I think I lost more way and gained some muscle weight. My doctor said there's just enough fat in my stomach h and maybe I shouldn't lose any more weight.
Also, the swelling hardly comes, maybe once per week if that .

I can do things now I never thought I could do before and I can wear just about anything. I am very happy with my results .
My scar is also healing well.
I lost all the fat on my own with lots of exercise I have since maintained my weight and continued to exercise.

4 months ????

It's been 4 months since surgery.
I am still very active and exercise 4-6 per week, a minimum of 2 hours every time. I can do push ups and sit ups now. I feel normal for the most part, still a little numbness in the belly area and the area above the belly button still feels hard and at times it sticks out, at least that it what it feels like.
My doctor says it's too soon to tell, but he doesn't see anything concerning so far. If my month 7-9 the area feels the same we will create a plan to resolve it. I am going to schedule an X-ray with my primary doctor, to get an idea of what is going on.
The mark across my belly, left by the tight garment is resolving very slowly.

I feel normal but I am still cautious with anything touching my belly, such as my child wanting to jump on me lol

I am down to 142 lbs now and the goal is 138.

My only concern at this his point in the area above belly button.
