I am 36, I have 3 kids ages 18, 16 and 7, I am single mom and want to do something for myself for once! I want to feel good about myself and have hated my belly ever since I had my 1st child in 1993. Over the years I thought about a TT, but never was ready to spend the money...but Now is the time!! I have gone to the gym over the years and still go and lost weight, but the belly never would go away. Im very excited to do this!!

Hi Jen. I haven't heard from you in a few days and wondering how you are doing? walking such but I guess that normal for everyone. I'm not even able to stand 50% straight yet and thats taking a toll on my back. keep in touch when you can!
Specialjenfl 24 Feb 2012
Im doing pretty good this is the best day yet...I can walk, not straight up, but when I am up too long my lower back hurts, I think from the Lipo brusing. I feel fine though and am bored out of my mind! I did work today, I run an online store from home and was able to get 25 packages out with the help of my mom comming over. Monday I get the drain tubes out and will get to actually see it, I am too scared to look under the bandages. I did peek at me belly button and its big and ugly, but will shrink and heal I know.
Brender 24 Feb 2012
That's great news! so glad to hear your doing well. I can only stand for a few secs and my back is killing me.
Specialjenfl 24 Feb 2012
Thats worst part I think the back pain, I know this sounds stupid but I have found if I hold my arms behind me it makes it a little easier to walk and not make my back hurt so bad.
Michinbriz 23 Feb 2012
How are you going? Hope you are healing well x
ArmyWife88 23 Feb 2012
When I'm your age I hope I look half as good as you do! I hope you make a fast recovery!
Specialjenfl 24 Feb 2012
36 is not that old, but I guess considereing my older kids are almost 17 and 19 I am getting older! Still feel young though!! :) I dont smoke or drink or go in the sun alot and I think that has helped me age well.
ArmyWife88 25 Feb 2012
I didnt mean it in that way lol. It's just that you look my AGE and not yours:)
