Nutrition
You can train hard but nutrition is key if you want to see amazing results:) I daily intermittent fast, keep my sugar under 50mg a day (my goal is 25mg, but extremely hard to stay that low), I use some supplements to ensure proper vitamins and minerals, and I don’t eat processed prepackaged food, I train 5-6 days a week.

Yea there are some days I feel like I am making no progress or not changing and some days I fail but the patience part is so hard! Lol thanks for your words of encouragement!

This is so helpful! Knowing that the hard work will pay off after the surgery is great to know. I workout 5 days a week, but need a tummy tuck to get my abs back after childbirth and surgeries. Thanks for continuing to post your journey past the usual 6-9 months.

Still working hard to keep my results
I would do it all over again even knowing the recovery! This was /is life changing for me! Now I just need some boobs, hehe. Make sure you have someone to help in the first week if not longer for recovery. Have patience, work hard, eat clean and you’ll feel so good! Any questions don’t hesitate to ask me :)

Hi Brenda- you look amazing! I found your posts researching old vertical belly button scars. Did you need any revisions to make this disappear? Can you see it at all now? I’m concerned that I will need to wear high waisted bottoms forever. Thanks!

Hiii! No I didn’t get any revisions done. I can still see it a little but I still have stretch marks so it kinda blends in with them. I go back and forth with hating the stretch marks and than rocking the stretch marks because I should and am proud of what my body has done :)

Quick question! Did you have any puckering at the top of your vertical incision right after surgery? Like in the area between the top of bcb the vertical and bottom of your belly button? I'm having some and hoping it smooths out!!

Kimj88 - I did! And I just looked at your profile - my vertical scar did create some weird puckering at first between my navel and the scar - but it DID smooth out eventually! I was totally freaked out too!!!

Heyyy! Sorry for the delayed response, wish we would get notification (maybe we can I ll look is my settings) anywho, no I can’t say I experienced any puckering.... I know some woman experience what they refer to has dog ears but I believe that is dealing more with the horizontal incision... not the vertical one from bb. Has it gotten any better?
April 11, 2019
Unfortunately no :( some improvement but not gone. I think I still have some exta lose skin left so i'm really bummed! Hoping he can fix it!!

Awwww bummer you feel that way, be careful not to be to hard on yourself, your your own worst critic (I struggle with this sometimes as well) You looked amazing before surgery and I am an bet you look even more amazing now! I see you live in appleton, I live in Neenah:) how long ago was your surgery?
April 12, 2019
I actually live in Neenah too! Small world! It was 6 weeks Monday...I'm so excited to get back to working out!! I go in Friday for my check up so I'll definitely bring this up and see what he thinks... hopefully we can tweak it! Overall, i'm very happy and love my tightened abdominals and love handles gone!! Just hopefully can get rid of thrat last little bit of skin;)
