9 weeks PO
$11,500
I've added a few photos from 6-9 weeks PO! I have days where I'm really happy and days when I'm really sad and disappointed! Finding in the last few days especially that I've got big rolls of skin/fat when sat, and when I bend over on all fours it seems like there's still quite a lot of loose skin?? It's really difficult to get my head round. Then I look at some of these pics and think I look fine! My surgeon signed me off to exercise at 7 weeks, a few days ago I went for a little jog/walk interval session using the couch to 5k program and then the next day was swollen all day! Stopped wearing my binder at 7 weeks as advised by my surgeon. Also been massaging my scar 1-2 times a day with bio oil!

6 weeks! Hurrah!
Sorry haven't updated in a while! Been super busy! Feel like normal life has resumed!
My swelling continued to be horrendous, one of my photos shows how bad it is at times, however it has finally started to settle down I think! I've learnt to accept I am no longer a 12 and need to wear 14's lol! Now I'm wearing looser fit clothes I've found I'm swelling less and feel much comfier!
I've started on the 5:2 diet this week to shift some weight off my thighs and bum which have NEVER been this big lol! I can't really exercise properly yet so the diet will do for now!
Had a reaction to my brown tape I'd been using and it literally ripped my skin! I was left with bleeding cracked skin so I'm banned from using it anymore! Was a bit weird at first to have my scar out but I'm used to it now.
I'm still wearing my hospital binder, I see my surgeon next week so will see what he says on the matter!
That's all for now :-)

Glad you're finally starting to settle. I leave my house at 4am from Bournemouth to Birmingham and I am terrified! I can't seem to see past the nerves. I bought a little kids stool after seeing about your journey and will pack a pillow also. Please tell me it's worth it!!!! X

It only gets better. My swelling has gotten so much better I'm at 8 weeks. And where I'm still the same dress size as I started i don't have the bulge over the jeans or the pouch. I was still swelling a lot at six weeks so hang in there. You look good.

4 weeks PO! Swell hell!!!
I can't take this swelling! It's driving me insane! At points I feel fatter than pre op! Had a rough night and was a bit tearful! But then woke this morning flat again! As you can see from the two pictures, the difference is unreal! Just gotta keep on and wait for the swelling to sort itself!
