Scar

My scar is very dark right now and will probably remain this way for a while. No fading scars on this skin. I don't care about the color of the scar, just that the scar still shows above my pants. High wasted jeans and workout pants are now my friends.

Time is flying by. Only 2 more months until my 1 year anniversary. I can do everything normal, no pain. Stomach still numb, with a little bit of feeling. I'm wondering will it always feel like this?

Still working out hard, 4-5 days a week. Will continue with my fitness goals. So happy I did this. No regrets.

You look great! How is the weight loss going? Doesn't matter - you look awesome regardless. I am only a couple of weeks post-op now and can't wait to get back to the gym. Nice work!

Thank you! I don't have weight loss goals, only fitness goals: build more muscle, be functionally fit, healthy immune system with clean eating (whole foods, lot of plants and veggies). Really, just having an overall lifestyle of movement and good eating is what I'm chasing! Good luck with your recovery and future workouts.

Finishing up week 5 of a 6 Week Body Weight program (mixed with other programs, so stretched to 9 weeks). It's really shaping me all over, including my abs. Eat clean.

You look amazing! And you are rocking those yoga pants! I especially like the orange and white ones on you! Werk! I bought a zero gravity chair for my recovery which will start in mid October. I'm wondering how it worked for you? Comfy? Able to get in & out of it on your own early preop?

Thanks so much! I'm so glad I bought the zero gravity chair. I used that during the day and slept in the corner of my sectional at night. The original plan was to use the chair for sleeping, but that wasn't comfortable to me. I need to lay back more than what I could do in the chair. But it was perfect for all day and was easy to get in and out, even during the first week. I just took it very easy. Some people found the chair very comfortable to sleep in. It just all depends on your comfort level. Good luck in October!

Thank you for the feedback and we'll wishes! My plan is to use the chair during the day and sleep in my bed with wedge pillows at night. We'll see how that plays out. But I was concerned about getting in and out of the chair. Your comments about it give me comfort. Thank sexy momma! :-)
