Beautiful!

Hi Cheri - I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad and for the health struggles on top of it. And times like this make it extremely difficult to focus on healthy eating and exercise...but don't stop now. Hang in there...it will get better. I also lost my dad 13 years ago in a freak accident at work. I was 5 months pregnant with my second child when it happened. It was one of the worst things I have ever been through. But little by little the pain subsides and you kind of figure out a way to get back to some kind of normal. Good luck with everything...I hope you find the peace you need and the health answers you need so you can focus on feeling better. Jennifer

Thank you!

I am having a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation November 27. I'm ready...not really nervous...just anticipating what recovery is going to be like. Any last minute advice??

Thank you! Good luck on your surgery Friday...I'm sure you will do great. The first few days are tough...make sure you rest, don't overdo it, eat healthy protein etc, and drink plenty of water.

Thanks! And yes this is for me! My hubby loves it also though...lol!

Here is an updated picture. This is the first year that I have ever looked forward to bathing suit season!

Thank you! I'm going to try and post some updated pics later!

Thanks!

Things are going really well. I feel great. I still haven't gotten back into much exercise yet...I usually go to a boot camp class and my doctor wants me to wait about 12 weeks before going back.

Thanks! It's amazing...still healing but overall feel great! What are you having done?

Saturday will be six months since my surgery and i couldn't be happier! I've lost 70 pounds but still need to lose 30 more to meet my goal.

Just wanted to give a quick update. I am 2.5 weeks out from surgery and everything is going really well. I've really had no pain and I am thrilled with my results so far. Love my flat stomach!

Congrats...you look awesome!

You look amazing!

I just had mine done last week and as of now they are still swollen and high. How long before yours were normal?

My recovery is going well. I got my drains out today!! Thank goodness they were getting on my nerves! My compression garment just wraps around my midsection so no sores or anything.

Wow!

You look great!

Lol...yes I've been using Miralax and had my first bowel movement yesterday. I haven't had any gas pain though but I do feel bloated and it felt so good to finally go to the bathroom.

Thanks everyone! And Cowgirl...how are you feeling now? You're a little over a month out now? I hope my results are as good as yours!

Surgery went well and overall I feel good just sore. Its difficult getting up and down but it's getting a little easier each time. I have no idea what I look like yet...doctor will remove bandages Monday. I'm pretty swollen from all of the fluid. I have two drains and I'll be glad to get those out!

My nurse said that I would be there 6 or 7 hours from start to finish. I took that to mean from the time I get there, which is an hour before actual surgery time, until a couple of hours after surgery for recovery. Hopefully I won't be under that long. Anyway, good luck with your surgery today! I am up and getting ready to go now for mine!

Thanks Jane. I hope my results are as good as yours...you look amazing.

Gorgeous!! Congrats on being normal!!
