WORTH IT
I am still happy I had the surgery since I do look better than before. To be honest I feel a little bit like Frankenstein with my large scar lol

I feel I will need some lipo in a year or 2 to get things exactly the way I want them. I’m working on eating healthy and drinking a gallon of water a day.

I haven’t been able to be as physically active as I would like but I just need to make that happen .

I swell after eating certain things ... salty , fatty foods.

Overall I’m happy but I have to hold myself accountable to eat clean and exercise to maintain results.

Before surgery I hated pants/jeans shorts bc they dig into my rolls. But today I wore pants with a belt and a shirt tucked in, It’s the small Victories!!!

What a HUGE victory! I completely understand about the rolls. Those are the worst. But look at you!! Makes it all worth it. I still can't wear jeans but look forward to this moment so much.

Lymphatic massage

Wa finally brave enough to massage my stomach on my own and go get a massage. Before I cringed t the thought of my tummy being touched. I’m able to stretch out more, sleep in my tummy for little bit. Overall I’m feeling pretty normal again. I still have some swelling on my upper right abdomen so hopefully the massage at home will help.

Hi..I'm late to following your journey, but so glad I found you. It's very encouraging to see your progress and hear your struggles along the way. And the pictures are just icing on the cake. You look fabulous with the cutest BB too. I'm 4 days away from TT surgery and excited and appreciate your sharing your journey. Keep getting better and wishing you're able to get to your goal weight soon.

Thanks so much ! One of the many reasons I chose this surgeon is bc of his belly buttons. I'm so excited for you to have your surgery:):):)
