5 weeks. No regrets

60 days of p90x plus a tummy tuck equals an amazing stomach for bikini season. I'm 7 months out and couldn't be happier with the results.

5 weeks post op feels great. The only negative thing i can say is that when your stomach all of a sudden looks awesome, you realize how bad the booty needs a workout :) I went to an indoor waterpark with the kids this weekend. I wore a bikini but not one that showed where the silicone tape is so you couldn't tell I'd had surgery, and the stares felt pretty awesome. This was a great decision and I'm glad I did it. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put anything on the scars for healing other than the silicone tape I bought from the plastic surgeon. I'll read on here and see. If anyone has any suggestions on that please advise.

I have been focusing on caloric intake and low sodium eating so my weight is 1 pound below surgery day but it's darn near impossible to button my jeans so that tells me I'm swollen. Everything else is great. I'm at 19 dpo and I can do everything I could before surgery except work out my core, lift over 15 pounds without it stinging, vacuuming hurts, and sneezing still stings a little. Honestly the recovery has been very manageable. Now if the swelling would go away I could really see what I'm working with :)
My doctor tod me no ab work until I was 10 weeks from surgery. I've seen posts that say patients were released at 6 weeks. I'm ok with 10. I think you have to trust your own body. And 1 more thing - this is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. I'm really really happy I did it :)
