HAPPY 1 YEAR
Yahoo!! Can't believe it's been (1) year today. I think back saying OMG what had I done and now saying WHY did I wait SOO long :) Best decision I've made. I love my body although I sadly have not worked out as much as I should but that will change. I always worried about the saying your still healing...... No excesses now. haha
It was a long haul but worth it!! I know I still have ways to go, but will take it day at a time :)
I will say for those thinking about a TT or getting ready for one, Keep in mind take care of yourself, eat right, don't overdo it & don't try to rush your recovery. Everyone heals at different paces and don't take any chances of hurting the TT. If it hurts and don't feel right then STOP and know it takes time to get back to the full speed as you was before the surgery. The swelling is part of it, but gets better as time goes on.
My Rewards are unlimited!!! The other day my hubby & I was walking the dogs & was so confident about myself, I was wearing a tube top & shorts with my tan flat tummy as a car drives by & almost curbed it as he couldn't focus on driving...... I was saying Hell ya!!!! I'm 48 & proud :)
Hugs to all and Happy healing

hi Challlenger: Crikey--you're looking great at 8 months. Look at your flat tummy--wow. Hope you're feeling great and that you continue to get your feeling back on your tummy. Mine's still pretty numb in the triangle from BB to each hip, and the tops of my legs/hips are still pretty tingly, but here's hoping. Still worth it, and I'm still happy with it. Looks like you are too. :) Here's to getting ready for summer!

Hello & great to hear from ya!!
I know can't believe it's been a year & thankful it's behind us lol. I'll be posting new pics on the 10th for the one year anniversary next week.
I'm still a bit tight but the numbing is almost gone above the incision. It was such a weird feeling to get used to & now that the feeling has come back, I forgot what that felt like before haha. But soooo thankful :) Hope all is well with u too?
Hugs
