Mommy Makeover Process

Still getting swelling, mainly in my upper belly. It feels like there still might be a small gap in my muscles in the upper portion from checking my DR (diastasis recti) but I am going in to check with my doctor on 4/25. Just find it super odd that only my upper belly bulges. She recommended physical therapy for muscle weakness, but if it was muscle weakness wouldn’t all my abdomen be bulging, not just the top? My breast, hopefully are done settling (no implant) and I was really hoping for alittle more upper pole fullness, they’re basically ski slopes now, but still have good projection and shape compare to before so I’m still happy, just liked how round they were on top when I was only acouple weeks out of surgery. I have been gaining weight, even though my eating habits haven’t changed, which is super frustrating, so planning on picking up more exercise, and keeping track of my eating to be sure I’m not doing anything excessive. My shape doesn’t seem to be suffering, but I definitely don’t like the scale going up.

Just adding an update. Things still going well, did about 15 minute workout (barre warmup only) on Monday. My butt/thigh muscles are sore, but nothing else thankfully. Trying to ease into it. Lipo areas still sore/swollen. My muscle and bone under the lipo areas is what’s mainly sensitive, massaging and even just light squeezes from my husband hurt. When I wake up in the morning or get up after sitting a really long time it feels like someone’s ripping duct tape off my lipo areas. Once I’m moving, it goes away, but those moments suck. Still getting that upper belly swelling regularly. Wish it would settle.

So my breasts have been settling. They are finally getting soft instead of the form feel they had in the beginning. I’m actually seeing some better cleavage now that they’ve settled alittle bit. I hope they’re done though. I’m happy with where they are… I started using bio oil for my scars. I feel like the area around my scars is less red irritated, now it’s just staying on my routine of twice a day and hopefully the purple of the scars will settle over time as well. Oh, and my lipo swelling has dramatically reduced (not completely gone yet), but man, I gotta say, I am feeling bootylicious!! Look at that booty that had been hiding.
