Happy Mother's Day! Just back from a 5k run with hubby and daughter in tow - on her bike. Took the pics before I left. I think my scar is ok but angry-red looking!

Traveling = swelling!
Well eight weeks PO and I had a business trip this week...four hour flight.
Anyone fly yet? On a normal day, flying makes me retain water...but wow did I ever swell up. Ugh. Could barely get my cg on to sleep. I guess it doesn't help that I ate out for three days after, hellooooo sodium! Lol. I was good and did not overindulge, and I ran three miles every morning, but still...
It was just getting back to normal...of course I had to fly home...lol. I still feel like a balloon!
Nothing else to report. Still not thrilled with the lipo...I think my skin is too loose to bounce back. But that's not a huge deal. I could consider a thigh lift but honestly think I'm done. I don't wanna get in a mode to try and be perfect. I'm a 42-year old mom who was overweight most of her life...and now I'm better than ever!
Have a great weekend!

Better than ever! That's a great attitude. I am also 42 (for another hot minute - 43rd bday coming up!). I totally agree - after my TT+lipo procedure, the parts I really felt down about are corrected - but I'm never gonna be perfect - nor do i need to be. Just the best version of myself (inside and out) that i can manage to be.
I love your attitude! And if can relate on the swelling. I can't wait for it to tone down. Happy healing and take care.
Sorry about the swelling. Most of my swelling is gone but every now and then it creeps up.
I travel for business too. There are times I can't even fit into my normal shoes after a long flight. I can't imagine flying after surgery. I am also worried someone will schedule me to present before I am ready. The thought of standing hunched over in front of a crowd is a nightmare for me.
I get that!!! I also used to bloat a lot when flying, but this was above and beyond. Thankfully back to normal-ish now...I drank a lot more water ton the way home and that helped!

Back to real workouts
Well today I am sore and very happy! Went back to crossfit classes, and it was soooo hard, but the abs did not limit what I could do. I had given myself two full months, but I decided today was the day (6 weeks 5 days). I was really happy to see my gym crew again.
I had no problem with ab movements but we did not have any crunches-type exercises, only a few stabilizing moves (like plank), and that went fairly well.
Tonight I am a bit swollen but it is all so worth it. I feel like a million bucks and I will sleep like a baby!

That's very good news!!!! I also do crossfit and have been wondering when I will be able to go back to that level of intensity after surgery. Congrats on the progress. Looking forward to pictures.
The later the evening goes, the sorer I get...mostly legs and arms though (we did 110 full burpees with pushups, so that may explain it!). I will continue to listen to my body, however, no sense getting injured now...
Ha! Burpees are the only thing I won't miss ;)
Do you have lipo pics? You look awesome, girl! Congrats on getting back to more regular activity!
No lipo pics...I am still not very happy with those results, I plan on waiting and seeing and chatting with my PS eventually!
I'm glad you finally got to work out. Are you still swelling everyday? What part of your tummy swells the most?
Swelling most days when I work out hard in the am...I guess the fact that I don't wear any CG during the day does not help much! Swelling below my bb mostly. I feel so much better (but sore-er!!!)
