I hit my one year mark yesterday! How has it been one year?!!! I'm doing fabulous! I love my tummy more than ever and am still so glad I did it! I'm in full swing of all activities and my scar tissue is healing more every day over my ab muscles so it's not so painful to do sit-ups. My scar is better. I bet in another year it will be white. I'm really happy with my tummy tuck!

6 months
Hit my 6th month yesterday. Things are great. I love my tummy and am starting to see a 6 pack under my layer of fluff from eating like crap. I pretty much do everything when working out but notice my abs get super sore. My scar is fading very slowly. I'm guessing a year or two it will finally turn white. I love not having hangover in pants and wearing a swimsuit. Still the best decision I've made. Can't believe I actually did that!

You look great!
You do look great. I'm at 4 months and feel like I still have swelling below my belly button to my incision line, like in a triangle. Any experience like that??
I never had anything like that just in general getting bloated here and there. Hopefully time will sort that out!

Today is 3 months for me!
3 months ago I was in surgery! Now I hardly even think about my stomach. I'm so happy with my results. I'm back at crossfit 4 days a week and am getting better and stronger each time. There are still limitations for me like sit-ups and toes to bar type stuff. But I did do pull-ups for the first time last week and I have done sit ups I just can't do too many until my MR starts to hurt. I'm assuming that will take another 3 months to heal completely. I will post again at 6 months and let you know. My scar in the pics is darker than it really is. Not sure if it's the lighting or what. My husband just told me this morning my scar is looking better and better all the time. I need to order more scar strips. I like wearing them for the mere fact that it doesn't hurt having jeans rub up against it. I have a couple in this pic just on my hip because it was hurting. I meet with my Dr for my 3 month post op on the 20th where they take pics. Hope you all are happy and healing well!

Looking awesome!!!
Thanks girly!
You're looking fantastic!!! I'm so happy for you! That's great that you're feeling so good & back to your normal workouts. I'm slowly starting back. Went in a little to fast & took a week off. So looks like slow & steady for me. Take care. I'll waiting for that 6 month update. =)
Thanks I keep thinking maybe 6 months my MR won't hurt anyone haha. Crossing my fingers !
You look great! Have you found a good brand of scar strips that don't roll off? I had that prob with my hernia scar.
The scar strips for c sections I like the best. They still sometimes roll but for the most part they are fine.
