Tummy Tuck and Body Contouring

Time flies when you're having fun! My New Years Resolution maximize my TT investment by the acquisition of a personal trainer to help me reach my fitness goals.
I will begin with my top priorities for healing in 2020:
Charles, my trainer is great! We meet 3-d/p/w at my apartment gym. Each day we focus on major muscle groups. Chest/Back, Legs, and Arms/Shoulders and repeat the cycle the next week with new exercises and equipment. At the end of each workout, I must say the 15-stretching is the best part.
On my own I Run/Walk 7-days a week averaging 100K+ steps p/week as reported by my FitBit/Apple Watch. Entering challenges with co-workers and friends motivate me to get in gym and get in a workout.
My nutritionist Courtney, has me on a Mediterranean/Keto (with a focus on Anti-Inflammatory condiments/foods) diet. I track my FOOD points on Weight Watchers app to keep me honest. My MAX points are 16. What I really love is I can eat all the crabs (no I do not have high cholesterol) I want. Not to mention, I am drinking more than I ever have. I gave up coffee and find tea so delightful.
I feel and look good in my business attire. I can see my waist is slimmer, my low back ducktail to a my nicely enhanced bottom. and my biceps and triceps have good definition. Most of all, my tummy is flatter and I can tuck in my blouse and shirts and tees in with PRIDE.
The good news is I have no lumps on my abdomen both the left and right side are now healing as one. As expected based on my initial consultation and PS follow-up, I still have some swelling, occasional bloating, numbness and tingling below the belly button. However, I find lymphatic massage and eating anti-inflammatory foods have expedited my healing process. Everything is tight and my boyfriend cannot pinch any fat or excess skin -- even with my 8-pound weight loss.
Lastly, I could not be more happy with the healing of my incision. It has been 12 weeks since I began the NewGel scar treatment. This medical grade holds up and stays put during a workout and after a shower.
I'm so glad I made the decision to have a full abdominoplasty I have NO regrets! I am so ready for my 2020 international business travel to begin on Tuesday!
I'm very happy with the work my PS performed. I see Dr. Pollard next week for my 4th Post Op visit.

NewGel is scar healer and treatment that works so well. Holds up and stays on during long workouts. Simply take off before Showering, wash with a mild soap and water. Once dry reapply. I have use the same strips for 90-days now. Still I have another strip from the same package. This product is much better than scar-away and stays on for the user with good hygiene. So easy to use

Happy New Year!

My recovery is going well. No major changes since week 8. The swelling comes and goes, which I know will be the case for the first 6 months or more. I have notice the lumps on my the left side of my abdomen near the incision and below the navel are gone. I continue to use a lacrosse ball to massage nightly. Thus my belly is even on both sides. It has been two months since I began using the NewGel scar treatment and my scar is flat and fading more and more everyday.

l still focus on eating a low fat and anti-inflammatory diet. Drinking more water than ever and avoiding alcohol. I'm working out 3-days a week with a personal trainer (30-minutes of Cardio) and 30-minutes of strength training (Legs / Back, Chest /Arms and stretching). My energy level is much improved. I will not be cleared to do an abdominal focused work out for another 4-weeks.

My next appointment with my PS in February 12th, 2019. I will share new photos then along with my healing progress.
