I am one year post op as of tomorrow lol. It's ok to post now, what is a day haha. So after a rough winter, weight gain from the holidays and what not. I picked up my cardio and have been working out about 6 days a week.

Down to 156 right now, have some muscle definition, just have about 10 more lbs to go and I will be good to go.

Scar is healing well, I use sunscreen highest spf when I tan so around the scar is white.

I haven't had any follow up appointments since I am in ny and not Cali anymore. It has been awhile since I've updated. I still sometimes feel massive tightness after working out. Running today I did 20 mins and felt my abs tighten and they stayed feeling hard for a few minutes after I stopped. Stretched too. Which feels really good for my core and abdominal muscle. I massage still. Sometimes I have to I only do abs maybe twice a week, can't do too intense every day.

I'm so excited. I've been working out back to my normal self kind of haha. I can definitely tell I am starting to tone back up from not being able to work out.
Today I did really light abdominal exercises. It didn't hurt just felt a little twinge. I will post some pics I did side by side before n after the pic was taken a few days ago

Your scar looks like a tan line...very nice. You look amazing.
Thanks so much. It is kind of a tan line I've been putting 50 + sunscreen on while I tan lol

Glad to hear you're doing well. You look great! Your scar photo looks super thin and light.

Hopefully you'll be back to pain-free workouts soon. I've just passed the 11 week mark and ab work is much easier. I used to get a burning sensation but that's gone. I'm also struggling to lose weight, still weighing the same as I do day of surgery. Probably the beer. ;-)
Yeah when I work out I feel heat and warmth in my lower stomach it is weird. I have just avoided the elliptical lol. The scaraway does amazing things for a scar and having great surgeon helps too haha
