45 year old mother with 2 kids

It's been a journey but very worth it! Most of the swelling is gone and I am feeling the best I ever have.
Recovery takes time for me but everyday has been better.

10 week post op! Getting better
Most of the swelling has come down. My muscle still feel very tight but I am walking up straight now. Waist now measure 35" down from 40" preop. So far 5" lost and none of my pants hold up without a belt. Lucky enough I got a few leggins prior to the operation which is what I wear mostly. I don't plan on buying new cloths until after 6 months when I can see the final results. I have also lost weight down about 10 lbs as I can seem to eat the same portions preop, I feel full quick. I am guessing the muscle repair and tightening helped reduce my play room so I cant eat as much. Also if I am constipated or on my period it can feel tight and crampy as the muscles heal. So I am not trying to do too much while I recover.
