I have been wheat free for a month now. Since giving up wheat I have experienced a lot less bloating and was finally able to break through my plateau. I've lost 6lbs and am only a couple pounds away from my goal now. More importantly, I am toning up a lot! I'm starting to see some definition in my stomach and that's really exciting for me! I am thrilled with my results! I do still noticed being more swollen in the evenings, but it's very manageable. Drink lots and lots of water!!!

I have been killing it at the gym! Feeling really good. I still haven't lost the last few pounds my surgeon wanted me to and I'm quite honestly not sure what's up with that...cardio 5-6 times a week, weights 2-3 times a week and eating very healthy. Could be muscle?? I still swell when I don't drink a lot of water each day, but for the most part it's not an issue. I am a comfortable 10 right now, and because of my pear shaped I doubt I will get smaller. I am thrilled with my results and the surgery and recovery seem like a distant memory. Anxious to keep working out and continue to improve my results.

You look great! Thanks for some insight about your sleeping arrangement, I am in a similar predicament. Also, I too have a 2 1/2 yr old, how was it not being able to lift your child & how long did you have to wait to do so. Thanks.

Thank you! It was probably about 6 weeks before I picked up my little one, and even then I was super careful and really tried to avoid it at all cost. He understood that Mommy had a "sore belly" and was pretty good being gentle around me. It was a good time for him to become more of a "big boy" and do more walking for himself ;)

It was so great reading your story! My husband is currently deployed and I just gave birth to our third child 6 months ago (I was pregnant when he left) Im having my TT while he's away and was so excited to see your results! We have very similar body types. It makes me even more excited for homecoming =)
