First success after TT
Well I've had a lot of ups and downs since PS--coming to grips with the fact that the TT didn't make me miraculously skinny or a size 00 (not that I want to be that size, ha!). For many weeks I've been swelled up. And, in the interest of full information, right above my scar it's like I have a bit of a muffin top (always had one, but this is a different one).
BUT today I saw the perfect example of what surgery did for me. Sometimes it's hard to quantify the changes so this was great. I have the same skinny jeans in both juniors size 13 and size 9. My stomach roll showed too much in the 9s, so I had bought the 13, but they were really loose in the tummy so neither ever really looked right. I started to reach for the 13 in the closet but decided to go with the 9 and I pulled them on and bam! You could tell all the difference in my stomach. They're so smooth. It makes the whole picture look way better. I actually feel slender in my tummy. But darned juniors for making their clothing so small. Sure do love smaller numbers in missy sizing lol

Glad to hear you are feeling better. The funniest thing I noticed (I had a 10lb apron removed from the front) was that if I run into a desk or something it actually hits my women parts! It really took my by surprise the first couple times HA! It now sounds silly!
And I always had to by shirts that were long enough to cover my panni now I can actually wear nearly any length shirt!! LOVE IT! I have also noticed that I think I need to wear a belt, I have bigger hips with a much smaller belly and my pants don't fit correctly...I have actually NEVER worn a belt in my life!!!
I have so happy you are having more ups than downs. Good luck
