14 weeks update

WORTH IT
I am 14 weeks PO now and saw my PS this week and got cleared to do all exercise including abs but of course to use good judgement. She was happy with my scar but for my belly button, she thought it was a little more red than she would've liked but not enough for an injection yet. Will see her again in October and she will decide then.

I feel good otherwise, don't really have pain but a little when i sneeze or cough hard. I'm not as flat as i was picture in my head but i have very unrealistic expectations and still see myself as fat and will never be thin enough (maybe i need a shrink at this point, lol).

I wanted to do the insanity work out for exercise, a few people i know did it with great results but i've been having a lot of pain in my knees lately. I have no more cartilage in both my knees anymore so i always have a bit of pain/stiffness but lately, my left one is giving me a hard time...when i walk i feel like my knees bends too much the other way (like upwards) and feel like my knee is going to break (saw a specialist a few years ago that said can't have surgery as i'm too young and that was about that).

So if anyone knows of good exercise i could do, please PM me.

I put new pictures, at 14 weeks, that's probably as good as its going to get.

Btw, i know i really need to get my breasts done...very sad when you can use 2 fingers to cover up, lol.

I’m 9 weeks now and feel pretty much back to normal beside the muscles still hurting if i strain, sneeze or cough..i can’t even imagine working out the abs yet. I will in a couple of weeks, i’m sure it will hurt at first but it has to be done, lol.

I’m not 100% happy with how flat i am, i still have a bit of loose skin above the BB but my PS told me she tighten me as much as she could and with my skin having no elasticity, she couldn’t make it any better. She said she even had nightmares that she had taken off too much and i wouldn’t heal, lol.

Honestly, i was hoping when i saw her 2 weeks ago that she would say that i have too much loose skin and will need a revision but nope...she was actually super happy with the results, lol.

I will see her again on may 22nd, she mostly wants to check my scar since i usually don’t scar very nicely but i have to say, i’m pretty ok with my scar and especially like my belly button.

I guess i have to learn to accept myself the way I am instead of never being satisfied.

Put new pictures taken this morning

Hey there. I can so understand the part about eating too much too often. Hang in there, you'll get over this. Find the willpower to get back at exercising and curbing that appetite! (hugs) to you!

I love your results! They are amazing. I have started to get depressed. I took a pic last Friday and thought I looked great and now my tummy is round again. I am flat in the mornings as soon as I get up...Then after being up for 5 minutes I feel lumpy, flabby and fat again. How does your swelling come again? Can you go hours without swelling or just minutes? I also feel that I am thick...I am exactly 4 weeks today. Thanks
