Well luckily it was just swelling that was making me feel huge around the mid-section. It has gone down a great deal, thank god! Iam hitting the gym pretty hard now adays so I will still some some swelling when I finish my workout. I really love the tummy first thing in the morning, because there is no swelling and it looks great. Kimmers said you have to watch what you eat afterwards and she was right. I gained 10 pounds just sitting around eating poorly, and while my tummy didn't look as bad as it did before weight gain will throw off your shape terribly. Now Iam obsessed with minimzing this scar, it is all I see when I take my clothes off! Ugh!

Hi Ms HAzelHurst, I was concerned about the swelling too. I am 3 weeks post op and my stomache is so swollen it looks fat above the incision line, like a ridge or a tire. It is hard to explain but I feel like it is getting fatter everday! Maybe because I am eating and not working out, just laying around...Not sure but I am not happy. It throws off my shape and to me looks wierd. What can I say I feel your pain. I hope it doesn't last for 3 months!

Luvme are you still wear your binder? You might want to keep wearing it for a while longer to help with the swellen. I bought one that covers my waist to my breast and i only wear it during the day. My ps said that is good and it helps with what little swollen I have, which is a little. You can actual see the shape of my stomach muscles.
Hang in there girl. Your pictures still look good

well, I haven't brought it up to my doc yet, but I think it might be too much activity. Is that possible? Because I have been rather busy

The diet and exercise after a tummy tuck and lipo are extremely important. You can lose your new shape as quickly as you got it just by gaining a few pounds.
Unfortunately the surgery is not a magic solution. Wouldn't that be nice if it were:) I am finding that I am having to work twice as hard in the gym after surgery just to keep my results. Bummer but I guess it is good for the heart.....LOL
More exercise and less food....I do not like that! But I really want to keep my new body and not blow all the money I have spent to get it this way.
So keep on going to the gym! You can do it.
