My tummy tuck experience has been interesting, and it's not over yet! Post-tummy tuck, I had a long, tedious recovery, and then my husband was stationed somewhere else (Army) so we moved 2 months post surgery. I became sedentary and had trouble getting back into my strict workout and diet plan that I had so passionately followed for two years. Sadly, I've gained 20lbs. The doctor told me if I gained any weight, it would not return to areas where I had lipo, because those fat cells had been removed. He was right! My ass is huge! It all went to my butt and thighs and my stomach is still flat as ever. I wasn't happy with my weight gain, and just as I got back to my diet and exercise, another shocker...I'M PREGNANT! We're excited for this blessing, but I'm nervous about how it will affect my tuck. My doctor feels confident that as tight as I was bound, my muscles should contract nicely after baby. We shall see.
Overall, I was and still am happy with the results of the tummy tuck and lipo. I still have days where I have weird sensations and my muscles feel sore. Also, the feeling is not completely back in my stomach, but I do have tingling sensations from time to time.
I'm so happy to see that my blog has been beneficial, and I hope to update more often. Thank you for reading!
P.S.--The photo was 5 months post-op.
