I am a mother of three kids. I am 5 ft and don't have much room to carry my babies. My biggest weighed 8lbs 10oz. Needless to say for the last 16 years I have been doing the skin tuck. I was always to scared to go through with the surgery but I started having strange sensations when lifting and I thought Ii had a hernia & decided it was time to reclaim my body.

2 Weeks Progress
Well, Im starting to see the 4lb removed. I haven't had a pain pill for the last two days and I quit using ice then as well but I am still using the muscle relaxers here and there. I have some very tight skin on my upper left side. I wonder how long it will take for it to loosen up. All in all I'm feeling better. I cant wait to be able to stand straight up again tho. I'm also looking forward to not being so sleepy as well. I'm still feeling fatigued and its interfering with my studies. Hopefully another week and I'll be set.
In addition, I didn't take pictures of this because I felt it was to personal but I had my doc. lift one of my vaginal lips that was stretched out from birth and I must say I can tell the difference already. I am really happy I got over being embarrassed and asked him about fixing it. I hated getting xrays and seeing one side hang down. YUCK!

Not feeling it today!
I didn't fall asleep until 4:30 am and was up by 10am. My kids have been home from school since Thursday and my house is a falling apart. My hubby is doing the best he can but still ugh... I took a shower and my belly button looks pretty gross and I just realized that I don't go back to the doc until the 22nd. This tight skin is driving me NUTS! I just wanna feel normal for a few minutes. I'm an emotional wreck! I only have one friend who knows what I did & if I were to tell anyone Id just be judged. I cant count on anyone but my husband and kids & I think they are all ready sick of this as well.--We don't have any kids tonight so we were gonna try and get out of the house but I feel like crap! I don't know if we'll go or not. How fun will it be to go out walking around like a hunch back. :(

You look amazing. This is all part of the recovery process. Be glad that your walking hunched bc that means you really had a tight TT!

Hello,
Yes I agree with gingerbear, it is a part of the recovery process. Your story sound a bit like mine but try to keep yourself positive, your coming along great. I'm excited for you.

Thanks, it was just a hard day. Im hoping for a better one today. Im gonna try to think positive! I think being cooped up, being in pain often and feeling like Im dependent on others got the best of me.

I couldn't agree with you more! I told my bf today when he was griping about dishes and keeping the house clean, I told him it's not easy just sittin on my ass doing nothing I have to do everything in my power not to just go off on a rampage about how miserable I am.

Hey Jenns76, great pics. your post op pics look great. I dont have much friend either where i am living and my family doesnt live close by so i feel you pain, however just remember the reason for doing this is to please you and no one else. Dont be scared or afraid of being judge, what you do for you is no ones business. Youe have tolive with your body and if this is what make you happy in the end then so be it. Be positive! Try to stay positive always and things wll be just fine and you will have and amazing end result.
