WORTH IT
Hello! Today I get my Spanx tanks in the mail and can officially toss my compression garment. I've been wearing every day but stopped sleeping with it a few nights ago because it killed my back, for some reason. I've been sleeping 100% better without it. I started exercising lightly (long walks, lunges, isolated dumbbell lifting while sitting, etc) and feel great! I can't wait to get back in the gym but I'm definitely following doctors orders and taking it easy. No ab workouts for a couple of more months. I have some numbness around my incision but I'm feeling more and more back to normal everyday. I start scar therapy in a few days and can't wait to start our summer!

Started taking longer walks this week, which feels great. I still tire out, but I have almost zero pain. My incision just gets itchy from time to time. I've actually gotten attached to my binder lol Keeps me feeling supported and 'secure'. The first week I had no appetite but the last several days, I've been eating everything in sight! Therefore I was shocked to weigh myself this morning and see that I'm down 3 lbs compared to before my tummy tuck. Overall, I'm really happy with my results. My biggest pet peeve with my tummy was the shelf that hung over my C-section scar... It's gone! Loving my profile now! The little bit of skin gathering on my scar is actually starting to smooth out a little already and I start Embrace on June 7th. Here's to progress!

Drains out yesterday! Hooray! I tried on a bikini for fun... First time in YEARS I'm actually excited to swim suit shop. I know I'm only 10 days post, but this has been such a confidence booster. I can't wait to get back in the gym and get this body into summer mode. Doc says zero ab work for at least 8+ weeks. Boo. But I'm following doctors orders so these ab muscles stay put!

Awesome results! Mine is in July! Can't wait! I'm getting my body to the best I can before surgery. I'm going to miss my home workouts while recovering.

Thank you! I'm really happy with how everything went and feeling great about the recovery and how it's looking =) Good for you for doing this for yourself! I miss my workouts SO much. I'm taking long walks but zero weights or anything strenuous at all. I'm taking 3 full months off from crossfit and once I get back, ZERO abs until I feel 100% healed. I def DON'T want to ruin my muscle repair by overdoing it! Good luck!
