Mommy of 5 Ready to Reclaim my Body! - Las Vegas, NV

I have 5 amazing boys, ages 7 down to 2 year old twins. I gained about 55 lbs with my first child and that was when my muscles separated beyond compare. Although I work out regularly and weigh less now than I did prior to having children, I still always look like I am 3 months pregnant. I also got stretch marks all over my entire belly area, mostly with my first, but always one or two more with each pregnancy.
I am so excited that I have finally booked a mommy makeover! In just 3 weeks I will be a new me.

My body looks like a frowny face.

Hi guys, I had my surgery yesterday! It is almost surreal, I can't believe I did it. I am very pleased with my breasts. They are too high right now but even so they look great. As we all know, they will fall into place over the next few months. I am very pleased with my tummy as well. They couldn't remove all of the stretch marks but everything is smoother and flat. I love it!
Yesterday I went into the operating room and within one minute I was out. Next thing I knew the nurses were telling me they had called my ride. I could see the tops of my breasts right away and was happy with what I saw. I had a lift and aug so that part of the surgery took the most time.
When I woke up, I had the shivers very bad, which caused a little pain because all of my muscles were clinched as I shivered. I had muscle repair and the implants under the muscle so it was unpleasant to be shivering so much. The nurse gave me a very soft electric blanket and it warmed up so nicely. I was sort of in and out of consciousness as my body warmed up.
I took two Loritab and an anti-nausea before I left the recovery center to head home. I am glad I took the anti-nausea, because as I climbed into bed I suddenly felt sick. I actually dry-heaved once and it really hurt my muscles, again. However, the medicine must've worked because after that one gag I felt better and thank God I never threw up.
My husband has been awesome with giving me my medicines and waking up throughout the night. I have been walking around every 2 hours, which doesn't hurt too bad. I get a little tired after about 5 minutes of walking.
I have been taking a lot of Loritab and Valium, alternating each one every two hours as per my dr's instructions. They can't be taken together. I don't want to take the Valium much longer because I learned it builds up in your system.
Today is the more painful day, but with the medicine it is bearable. My breasts feel how they did when they would get engorged while I was breast feeding, I am used to that sensation after 5 kids! My incision for the tummy tuck doesn't hurt at all, but the muscle repair does hurt, for sure. Because of the pain meds it is more of a dull pain, but constant. It didn't hurt this much yesterday, but as long as I keep it under control I can sleep.
Speaking of sleep, I can barely keep my eyes open so I am signing off now. Will try to post some pictures soon.
