From the time I was young, I have always had a rounder belly and bigger stature, despite being athletic. Now that I have lost my baby weight, I feel more pressure to wear clothes more fitting my age and active lifestyle. When I wear these clothes I feel uncomfortable about my shape, so I am going to take charge of my body. I am also scared of the large pregnant belly my mother has, despite her small body. I hope to never have that.

So I find this website three days before my scheduled surgery. I am freaking out about the pain, being unavailable to my 5 and 2 (not potty trained) year old, and how I am going to get back into shape after surgery without core exercises. 90% of what I do takes the core. I have been doing the Insanity workouts 5 times a week, and I play hockey once a week. I will post before and after picks soon, but I am also scrambling to get things prepared for my time "off", and Christmas. First time we ever put the tree up before Thanksgiving.
Good news is, this website is the only thing that has relieved my fear of the pain and recovery. I hope I am reading about regular moms, and not supermoms, because they all seem to be recuperating quickly. Good luck and happy healing to all.

One day Pre-Op, and thanks to what I have been reading on this site, I have never been more excited and confident (but still expecting tough times). For a little more detail, my highest weight was 165. I am now 130 at 5'4". You will notice in the pictures that my behind and thighs are still a bit large, but my doctor wanted to keep my surgery to 5 hours and she said I would not see too much benefit from it, so I am just getting a full tummy tuck, flank and upper abdomen lipo, and breast lift and augmentation with silicone implants. I am a 38B that rolls my boobs into the bra, I am hoping to be a small C that don't sag. I don't know if my doctor won't fix my bottom and thighs because she wants to draw me in for a later costly surgery, or if I would need more of a lift with lipo, which she thinks I am too young for. I am 34. I am however confident in her abilities and suggestions from what I have seen of her work.
I don't leave for the hospital until 9:30 tomorrow, so I will be starving. I don't think I will be posting, but we will see. Definitely will get back to you in a couple of days.

Thank you for the compliment. I play hockey once a week, and do the insanity workout 4-5 times a week. That and carting my kids and their things really does the trick.

Hi Hockey Mom!
You are going to love your results! I'm sure your doc didn't want to do so many things at one time to keep the OR time & help you have a smoother recovery. And if you ate taking care of house & kids everyday, you are a supermom like the rest of us. Good luck today!
