28yr Old Mom of 3 Body: Extended TT, BR/BL

Where did the time go?! Where did I go?!
To be honest, I was having technology problems, but more so, I've been having GI issues ( I think) which have me in the dumps about my belly :(
Starting last fall I noticed I would get very bloated, painfully bloated, but no idea why.
My PS told me to check with my gyno and after expensive ultrasounds, decided it wasn't anything to do with my lady bits and just thinks it's still residual healing.

PS doesn't think it's anything to do with surgery (nor do I) since it started about 5 months postop.
Anyway, this bloating have given me new stretch marks. Yea, new ones. So I've been super bummed and not wanting to take photos or even work out to try and tone because, well, it's not pretty.
And then there is the discomfort of being bloated to remind you...I've resorted to wearing my binder on days it is particularly uncomfortable.

So I've been playing with my diet to see if it is GI related, and so far there has been a minimal difference when I omit certain things (dairy for one).

So after 3months of feeling sorry for myself, I've decided that I need to get over it and make this investment worth it. To do whatever I can to fully enjoy my much improved body :)

Now that I'm done complaining...I really do love my shape. I look great in clothes and I love love that my breasts are still pretty perky (but of course, not as amazing as they were when still a little swollen. Lol)

I have put on 5-10lbs since my surgery, so I will be working on taking that back off. I still find it difficult to run though. The shock/jolt that makes everything jiggle...is uncomfortable to my still recovering nerves near my incision and lipo areas. My thighs and upper buttock mainly; the flanks. But toning them up is what I need to do to ease that discomfort, so that is my goal.

I hope everyone is healing well and you're enjoying you investments as well!

Hi ladies,
I finally found time (abs had a clean mirror) to snap some photos!
I'm a little over 5 months since my surgery and things have been great. Still some slight puffiness below my belly button...especially at the end of the day. I've noticed I get bloated (or more noticeably) after I eat and during lady time. Doctor Bohley said I might consult with my gyn regarding some discomfort I have; possibly uterine issues.
I'm very happy with the shape of my breasts! They are about a half cup size smaller than before, but still perkier than before surgery!
My hips are slightly tender still from nerve regrowth and honestly don't know if that will ever go away. The numbness under by bb is still there too...all minor things to me. :)
Hope your all are healing well and for those still waiting, the time will sneak up on you!!

Only took for forever and a day, but I snapped some photos at 3mos out from my surgery. It's funny how much time passes when you get back to normal life and are no longer sitting around trying to pass the time.

Everything is healing well. I tried the silicone sheeting...but it would stay on very well. Definitely not long enough to tell if it helped.
Some of the incision scars have thickened due to body movements...some mornings I am a little tender and can tell the healing tissues stretched from moving around in my sleep. I try to moisturize in the evening before bed and I feel it helps a little.

There is still some swelling, but minimal. I get a little poufy at the end of the day, especially if it is warm or I've been on my feet a lot. I nerves in my thighs are still pin and needles, but it's getting better (or I'm just use to it now). Still numb under my BB to the pubic bone.

Next appt is in mid November...so we'll see what the doc says.
In the meantime, we will be taking a Drip to Disneyland.

Hope you're all healing well too!!
