I know I'm losing weight do to the restriction and I really have no appetite. I make myself eat. 3 months from now my entire family is joining us in Maui (timeshare). Do you think my tummy will be flat by then or is that expecting too much? I'd love to wear a bikini one day in the future. It wasn't a goal but since then has become one :)

Your tummy will be flat, but do expect some swelling still.  It's been 3 years for me, so it's a struggle to remember, but I did have "good days and bad days" where the swelling would come and go - but, it seemed as though I was the only one to notice...

You'll be fine in three months. By that point I had gone from a 10 to a 6-8 in jeans. I had very little swelling but I watched the sodium and wore my surgical garments 24/7 for the six weeks my surgeon required.

Congratulations! You're going to love your results.
