I've watched many of your videos and am absolutely amazed by them ...especially the first one which prompted me to learn more about you and your subsequent videos and I was even more amazed at what you went through.
I showed many of your videos to my Mom and she told me that she underwent several of the operations that you experienced and that you had the wrong doctor for most of your surgeries.
How many wks post opp.were you in when you started running?Congrats on your accomplishments!I'm on my 3rd wk post opp.And I cannot wait to get back to running,I know I have a ways to go.
very brave the bikini, you are such an inspiration to me, i think that you are right, it is important to be happy with yourself, and where we are at in the journey, thanks for your continued openess and honesty
I have to say I was very impressed with this video. You showed how far you have come. You are healthy, happy and THIN. You may not have a washboard belly, BUT you are happy. Good for YOU!
Good for you for choosing to be happy with where you are right NOW. You're also sounding like you've gotten your strength back after your surgery - it's in your voice. :o) You look great and I'm in awe of the commitment to running. You go!!
girl i can't even run one mile, i can walk but can't run, that is just great,you look really small, but i don't think i can do it, maybe a tommy tuck, but what you got done looks really painfull, take care
Ozzy is sooo cute!! I have two babies that make my heart just melt a lot of the time. You look gorgeous and I am glad that you are doing the marathon *grin* I can't wait until I am able to do stuff like that without wanting to curl up and die lol- HAVE FUN!!!
Yeah I just love animals. and my new kitty is just perrrfect :P I cant wait for the marathon.. something I never in a million years thought I could do just 2 years ago
No I havent.. and they are bad believe me. My husband and I get a laugh over them quite often :P lol Due to how hard it is I dont think I will do that surgery any time soon
Ozzy is getting big and handsome! I think you look just fine, and like you said, you didn't start the journey to have a bikini body and I think that's realistic for me too. Feeling good and being healthy are far more important! :D
Thanks for the comment.. yeah feeling good and being able to start accepting your reflection in the mirror is a big thing.. and one im working on. I am ok with me right now which seems odd..
aww he ran back to give you water and finish you thats so flippin sweet. ugh I'm nervous about a tummy tuck already probably because i know i'll be getting on i already have pretty hangy skin i talked to my plastic surgeon and i'll likely have to get arms and thighs done too does it take a long time to heal? and was there any one thing you got done that wasnt worth it?
Hey sweety. You are really looking wonderful. It's just got to be said. Even with the extra stuffs at the top of the belly, amazing. Love the updates, I am always looking forward to them. Oh yes, and the baby...SO sweet! Love the daddy/baby pic. Lol. Oh yea, and give your hubby a good pat on the back. He's aces. Good luck in your running!
Thank you! I am getting used to the belly thing :P Not so bad now.. I look around and I see a lot of normal woman with more tummy then me and I think they look great so its time I just accept myself.
Thank you.. and yeah the scars dont look near as bad as I thought they would only a month out. Things are coming together now which is nice. I am feeling like me again!
Wearing a bikini is brave. But I think that you have done many brave things and should be extremely proud of yourself. Ozzy is sooooo SWEET! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah but it needs to be said the bikini was worn at the parents pool and then the pool here where we live with no one there but me and hubby! lol But I still wore it!! :P
I am glad that you spoke with your surgeon and did research. It looks so much better now that the swelling is down. I am glad that it doesnt bother you. You look fntastic and ti is great to hear that you are running and wearing a bikini :) Good for you! Being happy is the right mind set to have! Ozzie is so cute - I love his monkey toy!
Thanks for saying that.. Would have been super nice to have a flat tummy but meh.. Its ok. I just love running and I wish I could get more people on here to do it! :P
Good for you getting back to the running. Also your stomach does look fantastic! Semi personal ? I don't mean to be so nosey but I am afraid of extra skin how did you have taken off?
Thank you. I have had a few things done to get ridd of the skin. There is no way I would have worn sleeveless shirts or tuck in my shirt if the skin wouldnt of been removed. It was quite a big issue for me. But it feels great now that its gone.
You do look very very skinny!! I am glad you are feelin better about gettin the surgery. It doesnt look that bad but like you said is that the result you wanted? Its all up to you! I cant believe you are running 4 miles! I would die!! Your kitty is sooo cute. I love his blue eyes! :)
Thank you! To be honest 4 miles is not that bad at all.. I have run more then 4 miles before. A 5k is just over 3 and thats what I was running all the time.. the more you run the greater you feel and it just does something to you.. I love it and its SO amazing I can do it in my body. I bet you could run too! One of my good friends runs with us and shes over 260, I have a lot of respect and love for her. Oh and ozzy is glad you find him cute :P
OMG LOVE the song ,.. and WOW you rock !

Dear April Dawn,
I've watched many of your videos and am absolutely amazed by them ...especially the first one which prompted me to learn more about you and your subsequent videos and I was even more amazed at what you went through.
I showed many of your videos to my Mom and she told me that she underwent several of the operations that you experienced and that you had the wrong doctor for most of your surgeries.
That is her opinion. I liked your videos
Most Sincerely,
Robert
