4 weeks post op

I'm 4 weeks post op from an extended TT, breast lift and lipo. I'm starting to get a little mojo back but couldn't be more thrilled with my results. I don't think I've dared to wear a bikini since I was a toddler.

Starting weight 252 current weight 144 and 5' 1". VSG done December 2012. I'd like to see myself get to between 130-135lbs when all said and done.

I can't wait to get back to the gym so I can work on these cottage cheese thighs. It's the only thing I think needs some work yet. I sure miss my Zumba!!

This journey has been life changing. I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to focus on me!!

You look fantastic!! I feel the same about wanting to go back to the gym! I'm not allowed to start exercising lightly until 6 weeks post op...

Me too! Not working out is driving me crazy. I love to exercise and it's my stress relief so not being able to do so is hard. I also can't start light exercise until 6 weeks. Every day I feel myself losing muscle tone but I know it will come back quickly.

I was cracking up when I read this bc I had my LBL to lose my booty!! I'll post pics when my drains are out. Now that the skin is gone I'm excited to tone my booty up!

how exciting for you. I can't wait until it's time to get my upper arms done.

Wow. You look fantastic-congratulations! You have a lot to be proud of.

You look wonderful!! And I agree, it is very important to focus on yourself. I can't wait to get back to the gym either, however I am 9 weeks post op from thighs and arms. Just taking my time and doing slow walking.

I hope you continue to recover beautifully.

Happy Healing:)

Had my 4 week checkup today. I asked PS when I could resume activity. He said go ahead you can have sex. I said no no that's not what I meant. What about walking and Water aerobics? Got the green light. Yeah!! A step towards being myself again. He said the exercise will help with some of the residual Fluid as well.

No follow up needed for another 4 weeks. At that time he will be checking my scars and be sure the tape is working. What a process!

I'm loving my new body! Each day it looks better and my tummy is flatter. Can't wait to get out and see some friends and wear some real clothes.

That's so great to hear !

Thank you!

You look wonderful! I'm seriously thinking about a TT. I haven't been on these boards for probably a year but am back to get advice on plastics! I feel like I just need to be taken in about an inch at the seams all over!

Congrats on your weight loss and now fantastic make-over!
