Hi, I am a 26yr old stay at home mother of 2 beautiful girls, 4 & 2, done having children and ready to have this gone!! haven't had my surgery yet but I can't wait!! I will keep this updated with my progress.

I have always been tight and athletic and was really shocked how my body didn't bounce back like everyone said it would after I had my babies, everyone is different I guess! I am 5'7" and 133lbs!!

Hi, I am 26 years old, mother of 2 gorgeous little girls and am DONE having children. I am 5'7" and weigh 133. I became unexpectedly pregnant when I was only 20 and I gained a whopping 80lbs!!! I have always been thin and athletic. I had another baby 2years later and am married with a happy little family, except the one thing I feel robbed of, my youth. I have a sagging skin on my tummy and I had little boobs before pregnancy, like 32A little lol and they blew up to DD, and then deflated, so I am left with that. I just want to feel young again, there is this nagging feeling in me that keeps saying "your only 26 and can't wear a bikini?" Not only that but I can't stand for my husband to touch me while we're intimate, I just feel gross.

So, here I am with my surgery date scheduled and I am soooo happy and scared and all those feelings!!! Dr. told me all I needed were implants, no lift (which I was surprised) and a mini tummy tuck!! The only problem is financing, we may not be able to get the boob job for another year, depending what we qualified for at the bank, either way I am stoked!!! We can do the mini for sure and that's what bothers me most anyways, hopefully we can work the boobs out but whatever happens happens!!!!

Soooo, I a going to share a little private info and wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and what they did.....hhmmhmmm, here it goes...so I quit smoking so I could get this surgery done, which I had been trying to do anyways so it all worked out perfect BUT, here's the embarrassing part, I have become super constipated, bloated and gassy, idk what to do about it?!! I was never a heavy smoker, maybe 2-5 cigs a day, but my morning coffee and cig "got me going"...anyways any advice would be great lol!!!
Also, I am having to deal with criticism from my MIL who is 100% against and disgusted with plastic surgery, ugh, talk about uncomfortable, I wish she could understand how I felt but she thinks you should embrace and love what your children have "given" you aka mommy body!! She is very much involved with my kids and a AWESOME grandmother and I feel blessed to have her in our families lives and I respect her BUT, her lack of respect for my point of view has really irked me and to be blunt, pissed me off!!! Still excited none the less, even though I have a mixed crowd of supporters and none *sigh*....

Hi there, I am brand new to realself. I think you and I have alot in common. I am also a SAHM and I am about the same height and weight as you. Your before pics look almost like me. Just wanted to say that Digestive Health Plum Juice will help you with your constipation. It's not gross (I couldn't do prune juice) and it really helps "get you going." Good luck with your financing and surgery! I am hoping to have my mommy makeover by September, as I just had my last baby 2 months ago. Still working on losing the 60 lbs I gained. Yes 60. Oh and as for your MIL, that is exactly what my MIL would say which is why I am not telling anyone what I am doing until I do it. As long as your hubby is supportive, who cares right?

Hi, thanks for the tip, I have never had a problem with constipation so it's a "new territory" for me =)!! thanks, I hope financing works out the way I hope but if I have to wait a year for the boobs, that's okay because I am getting the tummy done and that's what bugs me most!! With my first child I gained 80lbs and with my second, I tried so hard, and still I gained 50lbs, so you fall right in the middle =)!!! I know I shouldn't have said anything but she lives about 8minutes away, is retired and loves being a grandma and I need a babysitter for the first 2 days after my surgery, then my hubby is off of work, which was a mistake because she is outa town turns out!! But I worked out childcare and help. But your totally right, my hubby is supportive and onboard and that is what matters most!! Good luck to you!! I am kinda new to this site to, keep us posted =)

I will check in on you. I am so excited for you! People don't understand what we feel like: I have friends who have kids and look fantastic...unfortunately I either have bad genes or bad skin but this is not about vanity, it is about correction. I am so excited to get a surgery date on the books so I can feel like this is really happening!

Yep totally, my sister is 28, one kid and she has the body of a Victoria's secret model!! ger abs are perfect. I have the same problem, probably bad genes and skin for me!! I can't wait till you get your date, I am sure you will soon, you are here talking so it sounds like it is just a matter of a little bit of time!! If my boobs are going to happen I will post pics of those too for before and after......I will be checking on you for sure, I think this site is great and glad I stumbled upon it because there are a lot of people out there who just don't get it....
