2 Months Postop

We have finally arrived....I am 8 weeks postop!! Per my surgeon, my swelling should be mostly gone by now...I do see there is still a minimal amount left between my belly button and the lower scar line. I imagine this will take more time to fully go away, of course. My flank areas are looking great, interestingly still pretty sore especially to deeper touch. The lower scar is still tight and certain movements can be tricky (like the cobra stretch). 

I unfortunately had to reschedule my 8 week postop appointment with my surgeon since I have been out of town on an extended work trip...hopefully will get in to see her in the next month or so! But I have no major concerns at this time. 

Trying to be patient with her request that I avoid core workouts for 12 weeks...I do lighter things like short planks, and I do use my core for stabilization during my other workouts too so they are still getting some work. I think/hope that once I'm back to heavy duty core I will get to see some more definition in these bad boys 😄
