Question:
Hi yall! I just uploaded pics for weeks 4 and 5.
I went walking on week 4 and paid for it with swell hell so I've been taking it more easy with the cardio stuff.
Week 5 (today--I can't believe it!) looks better and I can't believe how much the swelling has gone down from week 1. It's hard to see those small day-to-day changes until you compare the pics.
Right now, the worst swelling is still around my belly button but the great news is that I can FINALLY throw my shoulders back when I walk! The pulling in my BB when I do that is still there although it no longer hurts. Yaye!
I had to slow way down on the after 2 weeks because it caused me to itch like nothing else! Instead of using it 3-4 times a day like is recommended, I've been using 1-2 times. The itching isn't as bad, if it occurs at all. Plus, I really like how nicely the is fading because of the Mederma. Even at this lower dosage, it still seems to be helping.
I am in a different now. I bought a Flexee with the hooks on the bottom and hated it! I'm using a plain and simple garmet that I had when I was "lumpy"--it has about a million s and hooks all down the front but I like it because it's 1) nice and tight; 2) I can loosen the hooks if I eat too much; and 3) there are no underwear attached to it! I found this one at Kmart awhile back and it does have the "bones" in it but I don't mind that too much.
Well, that's it for now! Happy healing, everyone!
Answer:
You are looking great! Your belly button has shown so much improvement in the weeks! It looks so cute. That swelling is a bugger! I'm working out like mad and my swelling around my bb is crazy at 8-1/2 months po. I just took updated s and wow, maybe I should stop going to the gym!
You are doing wonderful! Happy Healing!

Hi lily!!
I created a new post with my history in case anyone is curious. I know some can get kinda critical here, but I can handle it this time, so I decided to go ahead and give the "whole story" LOL
Yes the working out really does help me...mind body and spirit. I just need to make sure I go. This week I've only gone twice, so hopefully I can get some good workouts in tomorrow and Sunday!
Best to you:)
Answer:
I don't see anything to be critical about. I remember your story from when I first started coming on here and then the big drama thing happened. I've missed you being on here, so don't go anywhere! You have been through so much and I feel for you. You are looking great. I can't wait to be able to do some exercise.
