Wow almost 4 weeks post op!! I'm feeling ok ... Although my breast incisions are starting to feel more noticeable, especially with sleeping in my bed. I was getting quite discouraged with my lower tummy because I really questioned if it was just swelling or still fat in that area. Today was the first day where it seemed like it must have been at least a bit of swelling because my tummy totally looked smaller! When I was at my ps's two weeks ago he had said if it doesn't go away then their are other options we could look at, I'm not sure whet that means but I plan to this Thur at my appt. I didn't get any lipo, which I had totally thought I needed but my ps disagreed with me. Slowly... Very slowly my energy is coming back to me :) today I went for a 3.5 mile walk because it was a beautiful day!! (Only -5c). I can't wait to start running and crossfit again but for now I'm learning that patience is a virtue!!!
Thought I should post a few new pictures!

13dpo... Almost two weeks since surgery!
Wow, can't believe it's almost been two weeks!! Feeling pretty good... My belly button is slightly infected. Dr wasn't concerned... I saw him today and he said to apply polysporin and watch it. I like how everything looks except to below my belly button... I still have a bit of a tummy! My dr said it's just a bit of swelling but I don't think so... I'm really not too swollen. It is definitely better than I was... Especially upper abs!! He said my ab muscles were 6 inches apart!! I actually have a waste line!! And my breasts are soo much smaller and perkier!! Yesterday I had my first emotional day... Mainly from my lack of being able to workout and be active and also dwelling on having hone through all of this pain just to still have a tummy!! My TT cost was soooo cheap though, because the BR was paid for my insurance, that I feel like I shouldn't make a big dal out of it!! My dr is such a nice guy and assured me that if 'the ridge' is still there in a few months, there are some options to get rid of it... He didn't go into specifics though. I'm crossing everything that it goes on its own!!!

I think your PS is right and its swelling! Its hard to tell when its you. I hear you on the emotional day! I had many of them! This process can definitely be a roller-coaster of emotions. But the end result worth it! You look great!

Thanks jens78!!! I hope you and my ps are right ;) if not, he has already said there are dog ears on both sides that he has to fix... He took off sooo much skin, it was unbelievable!!!! Last night I had an emotional moment and decided to just hop on my elliptical so tags to wouldn't bite my family's head off!! Felt soooo good!!! Felt like I could have gone forever but stopped at 30 mins because I didn't want to overdo it!!!

how are you doing?

I'm doing ok.....up and walking as much as I can :) it seems my belly button is a bit infected so I've been treating it with polysporin and going to see my dr tomorrow anyways. My tummy isn't what I thought it would be, I must admit! Much much better than before but still a bit of a pot.... Hoping it's swelling but I don't think so... We shall find out tomorrow :) thanks so much for asking!!!!! How are you??
