My oh my.. it's been a roller coaster for me since the last time I posted!! I've been working a lot and NOT exercising!!! I also started stuffing my face. BAD CHOICES all around. I started to gain weight. I actually gained 10 lbs!! Who does that?? Gains weight after paying $$$$$$ to have weight loss skin lopped off?? I had went to Vegas for a few days and came back looking like the pics with the grey bra and black shorts. I finally took control and started a detox/cleanse and the pics with me in the pic bra and boy shorts are just 5 days after i started.
Aside from that craziness... my scar is healing really nice. I am getting massages weekly to help with scar tissue. My belly button looks MUCH better!! i think the gaining weight had a lot to do with it. I see my PS next week. I don't have as many concerns as i did before now that my pudge is coming off. It was all self induced!!! If you want any info on this cleanse, comment!! It's great to do if you are already done with your pain meds but still not cleared for exercise. I wish i did it sooner.

cannot wait for appt tomorrow
I thought I was picking glue off my body, nope it was a scab on my incision. So now I have a teeny spot to treat with neosporin.
I cant wait to talk to my ps about my belly button. I hate it. Im embarassed by it. I am still super swollen around it and that could be why it looks the way it does, but I will not be in a bikini this summer. Its way too embarrassing, ugly, and off center. I hope this is a give it time thing. All the scabbing is done. The stitches havent fully dissolved yet. So there is still hope, I hope.
That's all I have to update or just whine about. Have a good day rs.

Your pictures look awesome. Patience, patience , patience. I know is easier said than done. But none the less is true. I felt the same way. For me my boobs were too high up, my bb weird and my incision was seeping everywhere. For two wks I wore my post surgical garnment, then I tried the spanx that was a mess because you practically have to get undressed just to pee. Then I alternated wearing my CG a few hours only then switched back to the post surgical. Now I wear my CG M- F only and I rest from it Sat & Sun. By the way the silicone strips are amazing. I use scar away c section. I've been using them a few months it works! You won't regret it. Keep your head up being positive you will have plenty time to reap the rewards after you heal.. Good luck RS sister...

I purchased them on the cvs online website. Online prices were better than the actual store. I tried the liquid roll on strips were better for me. But everybody is different!

Sorry for such the delay . . . summer time. I'm still adjusting to this. I feel good but still don't seem to have my stamina back. I'm improving though. I can relate to trying to keep track on the food thing. How's your cleanse ? Would you recommend it? My stomach still feels tight at the bottom and swollen.

Yes hopefully your concerns are a give it time thing. Most of my issues all corrected themselves eventually. I posted a pic of week 4 and week 12 comparison and had a huge difference even during that time so I suspect we will see gradual changes for a while. I hope that is what you're PS thinks as well. Keep us posted!

I haven't updated in a bit... Day 19
Not much has changed really... I had another lymphatic drainage massage on Saturday. It was wonderful!! I have a stubborn hard spot and she's working it out. my belly is beginning to soften a bit and I'm getting feeling back in my skin. That is so weird!!! The feeling of my clothes against my skin creeps me out a lot. Talk about hypersensitive! I'm trying a few different compression garments here and there. I can't wait for my waist nipper to get here from nomorerack.com I got 3 dresses and 3 bras from there too. I love them all.
i'm moving around a lot more... and able to go back to work too. i start back tomorrow at one of my jobs. my manager is a doll and gave me only morning shifts since I swell more towards the evening. it will be nice to have a paycheck again. LOL
Today, i started back with clean eating use the 21 Day FIx program. I can't work out yet, just go for walks, but at least I'll get my eating back in order. I've been a snacker lately and not all my snacks have been super healthy. I need to not give in to the chocolate!!! I weighed myself and still 3 lbs over my surgery day weight. I could chock it up to swelling, but who knows. all i know is that i wanna be 135-140... so gonna keep at it. have a great day RS sisters. will try to post some pics today when i change or shower.

Just catching up on everyone's post, haven't been on the computer as I hadn't been feeling well. Glad to hear your doing better. What's the 21 day fix program ? I feel the same way about eating clean. When my family was here taking care of me after surgery, they were making lots of starchy foods. It was hard for me to eat anyways. I'm still wearing a CG from the doctor's office but know what you mean about the feeling of clothes on my skin.

Congrats! You look great! And going back to work at 10 days ! I went back at 16 days post op and I was alittle nervous. I took off from work for6 days after surgery. I can't believe all that happened and no one at work knew. Happy healing to you!
