Still ecstatic.
WORTH IT$8,000
This weekend was the first time I really hit the gym hard and have been able to do it all week without any hiccups. The holidays were crazy and I enjoyed the food, a bit much. It's all good though because we're back into our Paleo grind.
So far the only place that feeling hasn't completely returned to is my hips below the incision and the center of my abdomen under my belly button. Everything looks great. The scar isn't AS red or AS purple anymore, it's a scar.... I've never been too concerned with its appearance as long as it's flat, and it is!
I can see my abs starting to show through, and I tell ya what.... I CANT STOP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!
I'm building my "tree trunks" back up and it feels outstanding. I missed the gym soooo bad!
Happy, Happy girl right here!

7 weeks Dr. Appt.
I saw Dr. Reath today and everything went well. He cleared me to go back to normal, zero restrictions.... obviously if something hurts or is uncomfortable, don't do it. Also.............
I. Can. Take. A. Bath.
I am one happy girl. As we speak I am awaiting the hot water to build up from kids bathing, the dishwasher running, etc... because I plan on filling my tub up as high as it goes, and not getting out until my fingers prune up.
My next appt isn't until March of next year. I couldn't be happier. For now I'm going to enjoy the holidays and workout as best I can. Come January I will be ready to go balls to the wall in the gym and fine tune this new fabulous body of mine!!!
Happy Trails Lovelies!

Everything is going great. I have some swelling but it looks fairly normal. I've had to take a break from wearing my silicone strip, I pulled it of too quick and it took a tiny piece of skin with it... ouch.
I'm still completely numb under my incision on my thighs/hips, and in the center of my abdomen. Everything else has gone back to normal. My back and right side is still swollen a little.
I'm able to do squats with my 35# barbell, lunges, and vigorous walking (lol) but that's it. That's ok though because I can tell my booty is trying to come back. :) Normal every day tasks don't tire me out anymore, and I can safely say I am now able to vacuum..... PRAISE ODIN!
I see Dr. Reath on Wednesday, and hopefully I don't forget to ask about when I can take a bath.
Also my scar line looks kind of weird near my hips. I'm fine with the way it looks, I just want to make sure its healed and there isn't a problem with it.
My bikini bottoms and most of my underwear completely cover my scar, so I'm super happy with that.

WOW, you look amazing! Your scar is completely covered by your undies and bikini bottoms, which is awesome! I'm so nervous about having a wonky scar, but at the end of the day, its what is "seen" that matters and you cant see a bulge or a bump anywhere on your tummy! Yay! Hot mamma!

Exactly! In the end it matters more, NOT having the bulge rather than worrying about the scar. Thank you Hun!
