7 weeks post op

First week back to work and I'm feeling fine. My job is pretty intense, I lift heavy parts weighing about 10-25 lbs all night and on my feet all night walking..... But I'm feeling fine. Muscles don't feel sore and scar is feeling good. I've been eating great and doing light workouts a couple times a week.
I've been rubbing my scar with regular aveeno lotion or extra virgin organic coconut oil a few times a day.
And I know it's horrible for me but I've been tanning. I really needed a pick me up after feeling so "blah" for a month. I only go a couple times a week and I complety cover my whole stomach with a towel when I tan to make sure I don't burn my scar. Everyone has their own vices. Tanning is mine. lol
I've made a goal.. When I lose 10 lbs I can go shopping for a swimsuit! Can't wait.
Swelling has gone down tons and really started to get my confidence back. :)

1 month post op

Tomorrow will be 1 full month post op. I'm feeling great! Trying to really watch what I eat and I have been walking a little to get ready to start working out next week. Still swollen in spots some days but I think once I lose a little weight that will help. Scar is looking fine but I'm trying to find the right and best way to treat it. Right now I'm using the scar away strips which are a pain in the butt but scar feels better when they are on. Looking at other ways to make the scar fade and lay flat. Scar is a little raised on my sides.
I'm loving the whole not having a flab of skin hang over my pants. Still sticking to leggings and yoga pants for now. Can't wait to put on my jeans!

3 weeks post

Went to see Dr.Hall today for my 3 week post op appointment. He said as of right now my scar looks great! He confirmed some definite swelling still in some areas and will be there awhile. He said belly button looks okay and will get better as well. And I'm at a no more than 20lb weight limit now. I left there feeling a lot more positive about how I look.
I'm getting around pretty normal now. I still take it easy climbing up into my tall vehicles, try and sit down with ice packs after I've done a lot of movement for the day. Still feels a little tight after standing up straight for a long period of time.
Week 3 has been a lot easier on me and I'm looking forward to each day slowly getting back to my normal self!
Excited to be working out soon to lose my winter 10 lbs and to get back in shape and see what this new me can look like.
