6 months post op

Finally made it to the 6 month mark. Back to doing home workouts (HIIT and kickboxing) and running as usual. Once in a while I get muscle spasms but nothing painful.
I cut out dairy and red meat from my diet and that seemed to relieve the random bloating episodes. Still applying biocorneum twice a day with massaging.

5 months post op

Hello ladies!!!
Recovery has been great. I’m still numb around the belly button but that’s normal. Since 6wpo, I’ve lost 10lbs. I continue to feel bloated now and again so I have removed dairy and red meat from my diet and that has helped tremendously.
Still using the biocorneum 2x a day on the scar which is slowly getting lighter. Sometimes it’s still tender to massage but that’s to be expected.
I’ve been running 4-5 miles every other day, kickboxing once a week, and doing light weight workouts whenever I can. Eating healthy is honestly what’s been sculpting my stomach back to my pre-baby bod which feels great.
Wore a 2-piece bikini on vacation which o haven’t done in over 7 years. The confidence I have was well worth the cost.

6 weeks post op

Finally made it to 6wpo last Thursday!!! So crazy me pulled off a 5k and was feeling great. Then Monday came along when I had to go back to work. I was a little bummed but also excited to go back to my routine...I take those words back. Omg! I started to swell and now I feel a full ache on my right side.
Met with my PS today and he reminded me the more active I become the more swollen I get and reassured me it will get better. We discussed scar treatments. He recommended biocornium and told me the magic is in the massage. I also asked him about silicone strips and he told me they all work because of massage. So I’m starting silicone therapy for my incision and the lotion on my belly button. Kinda afraid to put any adhesive to my belly button since it’s still swollen. Other than that I’m doing pretty good. Got to wear a dress I haven’t worn in 6 years. So happy! Best decision EVER!!!
