35 Yo, 3 Kids, Need a Mommy Makeover - Los Alamitos, CA

Moving right along here. I had a minor setback in both motivation and energy to workout a few weeks back. I had just started to feel I could get back to where I was working out and I got kidney stones! They were extremely painful and I ended up with an infection as well. I am almost done with the antibiotics and hoping that once I am done my energy will return. Even though I have this flat belly now, I feel like my butt is getting bigger! Drinking a TON of water and praying I passed it! Haven't felt pain in a week but never saw it?! Doc said it was 5mm so you would think I would have seen it pass. Anyhow, took some pics this morning. I'm still down in weight from pre-op which makes me happy although I'd be happy with at least 5-10 more lbs lost. Tummy is flat, scars are doing ok. Not excited about one side lift scar-will talk with PS office at next weeks appointment. My swollen who-ha has gone down a lot! I forget to put on my spanx some days and realize I don't really need it. Still wear binder to do housework or exercise. Happy healing everyone!

Wow looked at the calendar and it's true, it's been 2 months! I've been healing great. I've been using silicone strips now for about 3.5 weeks (I wear them all day/ night and remove for shower). I just put my last strip on my left breast since it's finally not scabby or open anywhere. I mostly use bio oil and cocoa butter all over, but am on the market for a good scar cream. My BB has a slight "ropey" feel inside or at least 2 bumps I want to ask my PS about. My swelling has gone down quite a bit - although not in the pubic area. I wear some kind of compression still day and night. I don't see my PS until August, so I'm just doing what I think and have been kind of "on my own". I have a ton of questions lined up for him lol!! I've said it before and I'll say it again- this surgery and even the pain was completely worth it!!

So I've been pretty darn swollen lately and feeling bummed about that. I decided to take some"after" pics in same position as the "before" I feel better already :). I don't go long without my binder or spanx, still wearing 24/7. I walked on the treadmill today and did some squats and leg slides-it didn't feel terrible so I think I can move up the speed a little more. Doing breast massages daily. My sleep is just ok-I sleep good one night then terrible the next night. I'm able to kind of sleep on my side, but not as much as I'd like. I really need to drink more water. In the beginning that's all I did, now that life is back in full swing I tend to forget. I started the silicone sheets 2 weeks ago so the jury is still out on those. They are kind of a pain to have to remove to shower and may look into something else.....
