36 2 Kids Super Freaking Nervous!

Well today I hit 9 weeks the pic is from 7 weeks but there isn't much change. I am still dealing with swelling which is super frustrating because I'm back at the gym and eating well. I went back to the gym 2 days before my 6 week mark and I haven't stopped since. I am almost back to what I was doing before surgery minus my power lifting stuff. I do have some spots that hurt when I lift so I'm just careful not to strain too much.

I am glad that I did it, and looking back I know I couldn't have done it by myself, I'm so thankful I had my boyfriend to help me. I sometimes forget that I'm only 9 weeks post surgery so I try to push things too far. But all in all things are good!

Well it's been 4 weeks. I have been battling some crazy depression lately so today I decided I was going to go to the gym and walk on the treadmill. I only walked a mile but being back at the gym has made me feel better. I have felt so useless and I have felt that I am never going to get back to normal. I also hate Christmas time because since I have been in the Air Force (18 years) I don't get to see my family because they live on the other side of the country.

I still haven't really worn any compression for the last 2 week, my hip feel amazing, but I swell a lot. I wore my binder to the gym today because I wanted to limit the swelling. I can't wait until I can lift weights again!

Well here's my three week picture. I'm swollen pretty good especially around my incision area and my skin is tender on my belly (where I have feeling) like it's bruised. But I think the scar is healing well, I'm going to start scar treatment maybe in another week or so. Not all my scab is off just yet. I'm not forcing anything. I still get tired and lately I'm getting irritable easy, maybe it's just because it's Christmas and today is my birthday. Lol who knows. I'm just ready for warm weather and for my tummy to not be swollen!
