3.5 months PO New Pics So Happy - Journey Back to Me!!!

I can't believe two years has passed. I am still very happy with my results. My scar is still not faded but I can live with it. My weight has fluctuated and I got down on myself for that but I picked myself back up and lost 15 pounds in the last two months. This picture was taken a few days ago and you can see what the scar looks like. But for being 37 years old I have no complaints with anything in this picture. The whole journey was worth the reward of having my self confidence back. I would do it all again in a heart beat.

Hello All, Sorry I have been really busy with life and have not been on here much. I went to my 3.5 month PO visit yesterday and wanted to give a quick update. The dr. said I am more advanced in recovery then he would expect for the amount of surgery I had done. I do have a small dog ear on my right side that he might need to do a small revision on at 6 months. I am back to running and weight lifting at full stride. The only thing I can't do is a lot of AB work yet. I still get very sore in my stomach muscles if I work them or do a lot of lifting of the kids. I could not be happier with my results though. I feel so good about myself. I was averaging around 170 before surgery but now I hang around 163. I can't say that I am 100% perfect with my eating but that is a work in progress. Ladies, this is a life changing event and I would do it all over again in a heart beat!

Today I had my 6 week PO visit and everything is looking great. I still got to try to massage my breast inward and put on Vit. E twice a day but my scars are looking great. The dr. even cleared me for everything but AB exercises. So I can go back to the gym and start taking my PUMP classes again. So excited. I have been walking on the treadmill 3 miles a time and that has been feeling good but my muscles are turning to mush from no weight training. I have been able to sleep on my stomach for the past week too. I can still feel pain in my abs when I sneeze and first get up in the morning but nothing major. My tummy is still numb also. The dr. said that takes a few months. I have been getting my energy level back to 90% and that feels great. Overall, I feel good mentally and physically. I even went back and bought that red bikini in my previous pics. As I was checking out the two women behind me stated that they wish that they could wear a bikini like that!!! I kind of went along with their compliments when they asked if I have kids and I stated two. They were really impressed then...lol. I didn't tell them that I had major surgery 6 weeks ago and have not worn a bikini 5 years prior. No I just enjoyed the moment. I earned it (>: I hope that everyone else is doing well. I don't get updates in my email any longer and I am not sure why? This has been an amazing journey and I will continue to post pics as my scars heal. Happy Easter All.
