What a difference a month makes! Feeling so much better. Loving the flat belly. Still have a nagging, sometimes painful pulling on my upper right abs. I've tried to get back to working out, I'm feeling seriously unmotivated, gotta get over that. I've been on my elliptical a few times. I wear my binder but still swell and get lumpy under the incision but not horribly bad after exercise. Very happy the worst is over and I am so thankful for no complications. Just gotta get back to exercising and gain some muscle. Finally found an app that lets me do side by side pics. You can really see the difference when looking from that perspective. That has helped me see how far I've come and that all this pain was worth it!

Avatt, your results looks amazing…its so flat and tight! When did your swelling started and ended? I just had my TT and I'm 15days PO.
My first 10 days PO i was pretty flat then the swelling kicked in. When I sit down I can see folds yuk! I’m scare my surgeon didn’t pull me tight enough. when u sit during your swellings do u see folds?Thanks!

Has anyone else experienced pronounced depression around the 3-4 week mark. I am 4 weeks po today and feel trapped in my body. I struggle with depression but can usually keep it in check with exercise. No exercise is really getting to me. Being tired all the time is getting to me. Having a house to run and kids to keep up with is getting to me. I am sitting in the sun (spf on the scars) and that helps a bit but just struggling, longing to feel normal. WHA WHA WHA....cry me a river, I know.

you'll be fine. I know exactly how you feel. Do you have a social network? Apart from your family that is. I recently relocated and have no friends and pretty much feel depressed at times. The gym really helps because I get to chat with other ladies. My next step is getting a couple of friends and having some girls night out.....it's easier said than done because of the demands of a house full of kids but I need to invest the time for my own sanity.Maybe you can do that too. Dressing up and going out certainly helps!

I know how you feel but it gets better. I was the same way. I'm telling you each week it gets better.

You look really great and the scar is nice and low! I would love to get my boobies done as well, and like you I wouldn't do implants, just want them to be perky :P Maybe someday, after I pay off the tummy tuck lol.
