How did you get your body back after having a c-section?

I recently had an emergency C-section after going into labor 7 weeks early. I have a beautiful and healthy baby girl and feel very lucky. Now that I am getting back to myself, I am looking forward to healing and being able to work out soon. It is sometimes hard to look at the scar but even harder to look at my belly. I consider the c-section to a be a battle scar to be proud of after having a healthy little angel. But looking at a swollen tummy is not fun. I would love to hear stories and/or before and after pics as well of Mommy's that have gotten back into shape after having a c-section.
