Ready to Look on the Outside How I Feel on the Inside! - Myrtle Beach, SC

I have 5 wonderful children. 3 that I had the pleasure of giving birth to. I have alot of stretch marks and belly fat that wont budge with diet or exercise. Honestly the stretchmarks are not what bothers me as much as the jiggly skin. I realize I will still have some stretchmarks and I'm okay with that. I think i'd be sad to get rid of them all, sounds crazy I know..but, I've had them for 25 years! They are from my children! Anyway...I'm excited,nervous,scared to death!!! My pre-op is August 1st. I am 5"1 and unfortunately weigh 178. Just got a definate date yesterday and started low carbing. Hoping to lose a few pounds before surgery date. Ill post pictures when I figure out how! lol Nervous about sharing before pics. My husband doesn't even see me totally naked unless by candle light and on my back!!!! I'll check back in soon! Sooooo thankful for this site!

Well, I go for my pre-op Wednesday. The countdown is on! Oh my! I didn't know I could have so many emotions going on at one time! Its all I think about! What questions should I ask? What do I wear? What do I need to buy? What will I look like! How do I make the cucumber water everyone speaks of?! lol Im having a slight crisis!! The bloodwork!!! Im self pay so thats another huge chunk!!! I have to get it done "this" week!! ARRRRGH!! Oh well, it'll all be worth it! Im taking off three weeks. I do hair so I hope that will be enough time. If I have to I'll take more time off but hopefully 3 will be enough. I have taken pics...I'll try to post them......oooh not good...but after will be great!

Well....I went to my pre-op visit Wednesday. Thank God they sent me for bloodwork at the lab they use and it was alot cheaper than my regular doctor was going to charge. My lab work is done! Now to have meds filled and play the waiting game! He did say to stop the no carbs diet! Ouch! I really wanted to lose a few more pounds. I feel like a blimp!! Lord I pray Im not too overweight for my results to be wonderful! I could surely stand to lose 15 or so more pounds! Say a prayer for me ladies!
