My body isn’t perfect, but I can’t believe this is my body!! Before surgery, I thought I would just now be getting back to regular activity but I feel almost normal! I’ve started going to the gym again, I can pick up my kids, and run and do everything I was going before... but with no back pain and with full bladder control. I truly can’t explain how much this has changed my life in a positive way.
I’ve started using NewGel Plus scar strips (you can see those in the photos) and haven’t noticed a huge difference yet but honestly- it will be covered so I don’t care lol. Still have swelling her and there in the evening time. Especially if I workout. But if I really watch my macros, the swelling is almost non-existent. I’ve been getting lymphatic massages and also notice a lot less swelling with those.
My hips still ache here and there from the lipo- which is surprising. I didn’t think I would still feel that.

7 weeks post op and I’m really starting to feel like I’m getting back into a normal routine.
With the Diastasis I had before, I had hardly any bladder control, couldn’t pick up and carry my 18 month old without pain, couldn’t bathe my kids without pain, etc.
I just started to hold our 18 month old, and I can’t do it for a long time but I have NO back pain. I already have so much more bladder control, and I’m so excited to get back into the gym. I’ve lost most of the muscle tone I had before surgery in my arms and legs, but I’ve started walking and I’m going back to the gym next week (modified of course). But I’m so excited.
I tried on an old swimsuit today and it looks SO much better than it did before. I’ve started focusing on macros and notice that the swelling isn’t nearly as bad- things are looking up! One little step at a time toward feeling normal!

You look great! I’m feeling so much better too. Now to just start weaning myself from the compression garment... I’ve become one with it lol

Real Self had an update issue so I’m a little behind, as it wouldn’t let me add updates!
These re 5 weeks post op. I was still dealing with swelling from early afternoon through the evening and I’d been super hungry. Finally picking up my activity level definitely increased my appetite but I love waking up flat! Also, my tape is starting to finally come off and I’m loving how my act looks so far!
