My mommy makeover (belt lipectomy, breast lift and augmentation and lipo) is sceduled for April 7, 2011. I am nervous but incredibly excited. I cannot believe that I will have a normal looking body and can wear t-shirts again (hopefully by this summer).

My lower body lift and medial thigh lift is scheduled for April 8th. I would love to hear what type of vitamins would be good for me to start taking now, or if I should be taking any now.

I am scheduled for a MM on April 4th. I am having a BA, TT, and Lipo. I can pretty much wear the clothes that I want, I am so tired of sucking in my stomach all of the time!! I am looking great with a flat stomach. I haven't had that in 8 years!
ajbucsfan 22 Mar 2011
oops...looking forward to having a flat stomach again - haven't had it in 8 years.

Hi there, I'm having a TT and Lipo and Breast lift with augmentation on the 14th of April., I am scared of the surgery I spend my time reading about the good stuff and the bad stuff it's not doing any good for me. And also I am strugling to loose some weight I am 5/5 for 166 I am depressed thinking that my TT is going to look horrible. I am having my last visit before the surgery on the 4th of April. Please help me any advice I am so glad you are here, I have no family around me. I'm from Morocco. Thank you and god be with you all.

Does your surgeon agree that you're at a healthy weight for your tummy tuck? If so, try to rest easy. Losing weight before surgery is great, but from what I've read, it's more important to be at a weight you can maintain.

I've looked at plenty pictures of those with your same height and weight range (i am pretty much the same, except I am 5'3) and the majority come out great. I think it also depends on how you carry your abdominal weight.

I was a tad worried myself, until I realized a lot of women go in with our height and weight and their tummies look great.
Booka 31 Mar 2011
I will also add that your weight will also depend on your body fat%. I work out often and do strength training, so I am on the 'leaner' side of a person 165 lbs at my height. I have wide hips naturally and well most of my weight is in my thighs, which although I want to slim a bit, I am not stressed about that area.

I am sure that your tuck will look great. What size jeans do you wear? 10/12? I know of someone who was a size 14, pear shaped like I am and she ended up wearing a 10 after everything. Again all depends on your shape and other 'stuff'.

My Mommy Makeover (BR, TT w/MR, Lipo in hips) is scheduled for April 5th and I am so excited! I wish it was happening now! I am way past the point of being nervous or scared and can-not-wait! I trust my surgeon and his team so much! Looking forward to sharing this journey with you ladies!

Ok. Went for my pre-op appt. Has anyone's been told to go on a liquid diet the week before to aid in digestion? I'm cool with drinking protein shakes, and will lose a few pounds in the process. I am so excited, not the slightest bit nervous. April 4th can't get here fast enough.
Milford281 26 Mar 2011
Iam eager to know girl about this diet! do you drink just protein shakes that's all? and how many?
Good luck with you surgery it's coming soon!
ajbucsfan 26 Mar 2011
I already had them, I got them from diet direct. I like to keep them around to eat instead of junk. So yes, I am drinking those along with soup and other liquids. Also the weekend before, I have to drink 1 gallon of liquid per day total. He said this was to aid un digestion, so I won't be constipated after the surgery.
Booka 31 Mar 2011
hmm i may do that. I have tons of protein shakes in every flavor and I could stock up on some bolthouse & naked juices...of course some low sodium soups...I am hoping to drop 5 lbs before surgery and I have 1 month, so that would definitely help.
CPMama 26 Mar 2011
I had my pre-op on Thursday and was told to start taking stool softners now and the day of and 3 days following I should be on a liquid diet until I have my first bowel movement. If at 3 days I do not have a bowel movement I am to start taking the supplements that help you pass a bowel movement (metamucil, etc.). He did mention to stay on a healthy diet until surgery and no alcohol from this point on.

Anyway have a wonderfull day I'll be thinking of you, at list we are not alone! Samia

Hi, I just wanted to say I can totally relate on the feeling guilty thing. Why is it that we have to feel guilty about doing something nice for ourselves. I am trying to deal with that because it is a large chunk of money that could be used for so many other things.

My mommy makeover consists of a full TT, BL w/ implants & lipo of the flanks and back) and is scheduled April 27th. I am so anxious right now, but grateful for this opportunity! I have 3 children, two of which were 10 lbs. I will be 30 this year and I want to enter my 30's with a BANG!
heacop 31 Mar 2011
I am leaving my 30s, will be 40 in December. I lost 147 lbs and have had 7 children. The last three was a set of triplets so my body doesn't look normal at all anymore. I am looking forward to having a period of time when I can care about what my body looks like and enjoy that.
Booka 31 Mar 2011
Well I think you deserve it more than most! Congrats and good luck!
CPMama 4 Apr 2011
