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.

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.

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Denk and his staff are amazing. I haven't met such a thorough plastic surgeon. He answered everything before I even had to ask. When I did have a new question, he had great insight and explanations. He knows what he's doing and I put complete trust in him for my surgery. Tricia and Shavondah, his nurses are always sweet and pleasant. I would text Tricia in the early days of recovery with ALL my questions and concerns-there were a lot of them! I look forward to my follow-up visits to converse with the doc and would definitely have him do my "work" from now on.
