    Default 4 months after PS-Hot vacation with my flat tummy and lifted girls!!! Felt so good!!!

    For the first time in 20 years, I wore a 2 piece bathing suit. I wouldn't call it a bikini (still have issues with my thighs!!) but I had a bikini top and bathing suit shorts for bottoms. I was not as self conscious as I thought I might be and gained more confidence each day walking on the beach. I even got whistled at by some locals and one called out "hey beautiful lady". I had to admit I enjoyed that!!! lol. Feels so good to feel sexy again.
    I went almost the entire time without my spanx. I hadn't been without if for more than a day here or there since my surgery and felt I still needed it. Once we hit the beach though, and I wore a bathing suit everyday, pretty hard to wear it. I needed that clean break. Now that I'm home, I've continued to not wear it.
    I did a ton of walking on this vacation and a lot of snorkeling and the swelling came and went. I don't sweat it anymore. I know it's still there somewhat but it will eventually all be gone. I know I am a lot more sensitive to swelling from my period, or certain foods, or constipation etc. When there was all that extra skin, I didn't notice it!

    I loved your story. Whistles huh? very nice. And you should like it, you have worked very hard to get where you are. I shared your story with my husband and he said as if it was me in the story, "oh no, I am getting too old to beat up those guys!" And then he laughed (sort of). He is so not jealous but still very protective.

    Congratulations!!!

    Haha! Yes my husband is not the jealous type but it is fun to see him be a little bit so! And getting that attention at my age....well I'll take it!!! Though my husband tells me all the time how beautiful and sexy I am so I don't need to hear it from others. But it's amusing when I do. His co-workers (who didn't know me when I was fat!) tell him all the time how lucky he is. He just smiles and says he knows!
