3 Month Update and Pics

Hey peeps!

I hit 3 months on the 5th. Time sure has flown by! I am loving my results and the swelling has subsided for the most part. I still have swelling in the belly above the incision line and a little on the back. By end of day I am crazy swollen in those areas since I don't wear a CG anymore. I have been wearing a high waisted slimming panty that has triple control panel by Cupid. It helps reduce the belly swelling by morning. I am back up to preop cardio intensity along with strenght training 2x a week. Well....I am trying to get 2 days of weights in...I have been out of the habit for so long its hard to get back in. To modivate me, I gathered all my Shape, Fitness, and Health magazines and ripped out all the workout pages and going to organized them in a binder to use at the gym. I have also decided to become the Weigh****chers coordinator at our work campus. I think this will keep me accountable for my eating habits and help others along the way. We have the program at other campuses but nobody would take it on at ours so I decided to do it. I am really excited! Well, I have pasted my pics here and have taken some pics for Dr. S's website. He shure can use pics that shows his work. I have also posted a preop pic to show my progress along this journey.

You can see the swelling at the incision line but not bad right now.

Please ignore the lack of makeup!!! Snapped this before DaHusband and I went to gym..

Good luck to all on your personal journey!!!!

Thanks. Well, I have to admit during the 1st 3 days or so during the buyers remorse stage...I said what the heck...I wasnt that bad...but.....I have gone down a size and love the way clothes fit now! And I got chi-chis...not stretched out socks with golf balls..haha.

WOW!! That is amazing!!

Thank you!

Hey Tammy...you are looking great.  I am nine weeks out and I am still having what I am hoping is swelling to my tummy area.  Sometimes I still have a good size muffin top after a long day.  I hope that it is swelling and not something that has to be revised.  I haven't really gone back to the gym so I am hoping that that will help.  I know that a while back you said you were spitting stitches from your breast.  I am having the same issue and was wondering what you did to resolve this.  Thanks.

Thanks. I finally got the nerve up to pull on the stitch just enough for the end to pop out not just lay at the surface and snipped it (about 1/8th inch). It healed well but looks like it it trying to work its way to the surface again..oh well :-). The stitch on teh other breast worked its way out about 1/4 or more and I snipped it down. It decide to back in some so I dont see it anymore.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
