almost 4 months post op

Almost 4 months post op! I am SO THRILLED with my tummy. I started taking barre3 classes 3 weeks ago and my tummy was super sore. I have worked slowly and can feel my tummy getting stronger. I didn't really lose any weight due to the TT, but I did lose almost 4 inches. Most important I can wear any of my pre preg. jeans (from my son over 5 years ago) with no problem! No muffin top! I am down to a size 27/28 in pants/jeans (4/6) and in a 4 in dresses. I have had to lay off the strenuous working out and to be honest with you I really don't miss it. I was crazy trying to get fit and now...I work out because it makes me feel good. I'm no longer driven by the scale and just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. I get to see my PS tomorrow and haven't seen him since the beginning of December. My scar...well...it's still there. :) I tried silicone sheeting but honestly it was such a hassle. I am super active with two young kids 5 and 16 months and couldn't get them to stay in place for anything. I was using a creme that my dr. gave me but he stopped using it because a few patients had an adverse reaction to it. I massage with Mederma 2 times a day. I just want the redness to go away! I will talk to PS tomorrow but I know it just takes time. Will post new pics soon!

nearly 5 weeks out and doing great! I am still a bit tired and have swelling if I am doing too much during the day. I haven't returned to the gym yet. I am going to wait until 6 weeks. I am finally able to sleep in bed on my side and move around with little to no pain. I can lay straight on my back with no pain! Scar is healing nicely...things are going well. Posting a couple of pictures.

Just had to share this...I tried onto a pair of jeans that I had prior to my son's birth (so...its been 6 years now) and though I've been able to get back to the size 6 and fit into them previously I could not wear them because they looked horrible. They are low cut and after my kids I had to move to mid rise jeans and still battled the muffin top in the front! Tried these on today and they fit on super easy and they look GOOD! I was pretty happy considering I'm only 3 weeks out! I'm still swollen in my flank areas but YAAAYYYYY!!! I of course put my Yoga pants back on because I'm most comfortable in those right now but it is encouraging. The thought that I might be able to wear jeans that don't come up to my belly button makes me SMILE!
