I have been thinking about how it's been a while since I've blogged about this, and I needed to take some follow up pics for you all. Today CJ went back to school so I went ahead and took some. While they look odd/kinda bad, I'm actually quite happy with how things are going right now.
The doctor was quite clear that as things healed, I'd end up with a "pooch" of swelling that's close to the incision mark. That's what I've got now, and I'm not overwhelmingly concerned because it really doesn't bother me at this point. It means that things are progressing normally, and I'm happy with that concept LOL. I know it's swelling, and I know I'm doing the right things with my eating, etc. Post op I was around 168 pounds and Monday my weigh in had me at 161.8. I'll get to goal eventually, though I really more down on myself with the scale not moving down than I am about the silly little pooch you'll see below.
First, the clothed shot....
Now, the "good side" shot. You'll notice if you compare the "good" and "bad" sides that the bad side has a more prominent scar area, but that's fine by me. ;)
The front shot....
The formerly "bad" side shot. This is a good angle to show the distension of my lower belly below my belly button right now.
