So I decided to take a picture. I guess I forget that I had the surgery and just been living life and forgot about progress. I am happy with my scar healing and location. I am unhappy with the bump on the scar from my drain, my dog ears and my lipo scars on my back are dark. Also I had lipo on my back and I feel like you don't really see much change (no pic). But I do love myself ok my bikini. Just need to tone it up and get dog ears fixed when I have the money.

Scale is holding me back- 1/19/16
I have been weighing myself because of a program I am doing through work and I'm frustrated because I keep fluctuating in weight, more or about the weight I was at surgery.
I also get discouraged because my stomach has started it relax and it looks full and makes me feel like I gained weight since surgery vs swelling. It's still "flatter" then what I had before surgery but I just beat myself up that I am not doing enough to maintain the look that I was going for.
My scar is also not as light in color that I would like but I don't know what to expect in color at this point in my progress. It's probably normal healing but I again don't want to do something to prevent it from not healing properly.

Hi!!! How you feel and look now?
I need to get pictures up. I was waiting for my 3 month photos but the camera was broken at the office so they turned into 6 month photos. I feel great, still have swollan days but no pain. My stomach is flat and looks great in clothes. Just need to tone up the rest f the area on the hips and back. I have dog ears which I cant get fixed properly without more lip which means $$$ so that is disappointing.

Week 10- doubt setting in
of course I know there is swelling and everyone says your shape and weight will fluctuate. But now that I have been out of the garment I feel sometimes feel like I did prior to surgery.
After surgery I saw significant results in my waist line which I feel now has gone away. Don't get me wrong, from the front my stomach looks flat but my hips are the same and from the side I can see a hill. This picture doesn't really show it like I see it.
I'm sure it will all turn out fine and I hope it's not anything I'm doing wrong to change the shape to something unwanted.

I think we all have days like that! I still have that Ken Doll syndrome most days, which I think is what you are looking at? From my reading, it sounds normal for several months :(. I am sure you have nothing to worry about and your results look great. I have only had 2 days so far that I have not worn either my garment or my Spanx during the day.... Feels weird without. You are way ahead of me!! Merry Christmas!
Thanks :)
