34 Year Old Mommy of One Who Gained and then Lost 65lbs :) - Tampa, FL

Almost a year since I took the plunge and had my TT. I still don't see perfection but the truth is that I'm ok with it at this point. I'm back to doing cardio and weights 6 times a week and will keep steering clear of crunches and an focused workouts at my Dr's advise as all it will do is push out my abs and make me wider. (I had lots of muscle repair done). I am going through UltraShape (two sessions so far) for my belly area and it has improved the overall pudgy look but we will see how it looks after another session or two. Swelling if finally gone but I do notice that if I over indulge on a cheat meal that I can literally feel my tummy expand and the scar line tugging! The biggest improvement is my confidence; I may not look like a super model but I walk standing straight up with my head held high knowing that I look my best and that I worked by but off for what I have. What more could I ask for?

Feeling normal but still not totally flat wishing I had Lipo with my tuck and muscle repair.

Ok so I made it to almost 3 weeks! Dr told me to expect the swelling to still be there to some extent for a few months. My belly button is still infected but getting better every day. I'm still struggling with sitting still or not doing to much. Guess I have ants in my pants after almost 3 weeks of no working out! I'm still making it a point to get up , do something for maybe an hour and resting for a good 20-30 minutes afterward. Trying to get my clean eating back on track and focusing on limiting salt and increasing green veggies and my overall water intake.

Good news is that even though I'm swollen I can still see improvements. Before and as of today pics have been added. Going back to work on Friday and going to commit to wearing dresses and those cute and trendy stretch waste band pants (pallazo sp? look alike) for a bit until my pants fit again.
