I have lost 100lb over the last four years after struggling with my weight for 20 plus years. I am happily married mother of 3 (9, 7, and 5 years). Breastfeeding 3 kids plus the weight loss has left me "deflated".
I am scheduled for next week, still struggling with if "I deserve this" Wondering if I have lost enough weight for the procedures to be "worth" the pain, surgery cost and time off work. I am currently 5'5" and 157lb. I was hoping to be around 145lb for surgery, but have gained 5lbs instead of losing..total stress eating!
I have lost weight through learning to love exercise-running and elliptical mainly, so I am very nervous about not being able to exercise for (? 6 weeks!). I am use to being active, never sitting still, ultimate multitasker, so hard to imagine all this down time! I don't want overly large BA, just want enough volume to fill the stretched skin. Nervous about picking the size. Plan is for 297 cc silicone after consult appointment. Sorry so rambling, just trying to get some thoughts down! I'll post before pictures this week. So much stuff to do before the surgery!
Ok, its surgery day! Excited and nervous. Kind...

I keep thinking I hope I lost enough weight for the TT to be beneficial. Took some pics, just ran out of time to upload sooner. I'm not worried about the pain so much as the inability to do anything after the surgery. I am normally a busy working mother "multitasker".

Let me just say the power lift chair and raised toilet seat have been a such a help! I've done laps around the house, can almost stand up straight. That little bit of hunch does put a workout on the back muscles though! I'll be happy for drains to come out, but they are not painful, just get in the way. I have to keep them covered when showering, which means needing help to shower.
So I mistyped above, actually were 397cc style 15 implants, (not 297). Will try to post pics soon, but it is such a hassle to get the garmets on and off! Breasts look too big and high, but I know that is likely due to swelling. My incision for TT looks higher than I would have thought, but I haven't had energy to put on panties or bathing suit to see where the incision falls.
Great review?
I am like you multi tasker and exerciser and this has been my hardest part about recovery so far. Its pretty easy when you don't feel up to it, it gets harder when you are feeling better and are not allowed. YOu will get through it though!
