7 week po pics

Well only you will sign that consent form. No one is gonna make you. But for me I knew something had to change when I would cry every morning becuz I felt horrible getting dressed. Even on vacation to go hiking it took me an hour to figure out what to wear and feel comfortable in it. I knew it had to be done. If it affects your life that bad and you've had it, it's much easier to sign that consent form. But if it doesn't bother you all that bad then don't rush cuz it is a major decision to make.

You will know what you need to do. Don't be scared of something you want. We always put ourselves last and sometimes it's good to do something for ourselves. The nerves will be there until the last second before your surgery but if you really want it just think if the positive. It is so worth it in the end and I know if I wouldn't have done it I would still be crying every morning. Hope this helps. Keep in touch =)

You are so right. I take forever to decide what to wear too. It's like everyday and almost every minute I'm thinking about the food I need to eat and when to workout and ugh I hate this, it's so consuming! I feel like I'm not always myself because I'm ashamed of it. I just happened to stumble across this website and I am so happy I did because you can speak to people that understand how you feel and you can learn from them. I'm almost waiting to really live and it won't happen until I remove this chunk of fat. What I really hate is I see people bigger than me or the same and they seem so happy! I'm like what the heck?? Why can't I be happy with this too?

Lol! I know what you mean. Everyone is different. Some can handle it and some can't. If your constantly trying to eat healthier and working out and find that you don't look any different. It's because that skin will never go away. You will be suprised what you have under there after the extra is removed. In the early morning before swell:30, I am sooo super flat. It is amazing how much better I feel about myself. And I too was ashamed. I didn't even like to leave my house. Now they can't keep me home =)

I think I would walk about like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever haha, I would strut about and do anything and everything I want to do!

Lol! Good one =)

Thank you! I'm trying to find a shaper but it is harder than I thought, lol! Do you have any recommendations?

I got one at Walmart that comes up high enough to help my spots above the belly button. I did cut off the horrible seam from one end of the crotch to the other and man am I ever happy with it now. Those seams cut into my butt something awful. :/ I also found a cute little pair of boy short type panties considered to be shapewear also and they were at Kmart. The thing I found was there are different strengths of support so read the tags carefully ok. I'm buying the ones at the standard malls and shops because I don't plan to use them for too long and I'm finding that most everywhere they have different types to choose from. Check in the panties, slips etc. sections.

Thanks for the tips. I need something soon to help me with the swelling:-/

Thank you =)

Sure. Hope this helps =)

Jolie81 It is scary to think of but once it's over you will be so relieved. The first two weeks po were the hardest for me but i am nearly 8 weeks po and so glad i didn't chicken out. Being scared of all that can happen is scary and everytime I would think of it I would second guess myself. But I was so uncomfortable in my own skin and tired of being insecure that as scared as i was i knew this was the only way to get rid of the 'pooch'. I can't tell you what a difference it has made. I love the way i look in tight yoga pants even when I'm swollen. I would have never dressed like this before. I would strongly recommend it. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
