Serious dysmorphia but posting anyhow

Ok I have some new pics of my ugly gross body.  The swelling has gone down and I finally have started working out.  But, I am afraid and sad to say that this is MY body.  I didn't even know I had stretch marks on my sides until I saw the pics!!!  So I have started putting "the lotion" on them!!! It will be interesting to take more pics in a few months to see if the lotion really makes those suckers disappear!  Anyway...  so there is a 9 week, 2 day postop front and side view.  Warning:  contains some nudity.  lol

wow melinda, you're tummy is soooo flat!! We are our own worst critics. You have come a very long way! Stretch marks or not, you're gorgeous!

*hugs*

ok melinda.  listen very closely.  you are beautiful.  who cares about the stretch marks.  at least they arent stretched any more!!!  stop analyzing your new body and start LIVING!  Starting with our little trip.  You better be ready to dance and play!  Cause we are gonna break you out of your shell!!!!  Tim can bail us out of jail right?  LOL.  Watch out Florida.  Here come the TN Hotties!!!!

Your lookinf fabulous. Stop doubting yourself and anjoy the new you. Think back to where you started and where you are now. My dear you have come a long way.

Yep - you are definitely too hard on yourself. You are looking good, you really are. :) 

Repeat after me...That dress is itty bitty. I can wear that dress. I must be itty bitty. All of your swelling is not gone. Remember, you said the surgeon said it can take 6 months for the swelling to go away. You are only 9 weeks into it. A lot of the swelling is gone but you are not done yet. You look marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun in Florida. Make sure Tim has enough cash to bail you and Paula out and bring you back home with him.

Melinda: You look fabulous!  I guess that when they took off your tummy they messed up your eyesight! Big smile! Freddie

Mel, you look great, I can only hope when its my time my belly look that good. Annrenee

Mel,  What can I say that everyone else hasn't.  You simply look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!  -Alyssa
