Tummy Tuck Part 1: My journey has been split into 2 parts. Look for my newest post on Part 2 - Rockville, MD

How you'll doing out there ladies! I feel like I know so many of you! We laugh, we talk about our kids, how our day went.....hell I have seen most of you naked! LOL! So today at 18 days post opt I want to say a quick thank you to all my realself loves out there! So THANK YOU for all the support, advice, laughs, concern and the whole nine yards! And now off I go to prepare for my 3rd post opt appt! Wish me luck!

OK I am back from my 3rd pre opt! YEAH! And I must say I really do love my PS! And I absolutely love his staff......I could so see myself hanging out with these wonderful dolls! And Dr. Tattelbaum is just the nicest man I think I have ever encountered in my life. Well he's nice until he starts pushing on my stomach and sides then I almost push him down on the floor! Overall he is extremely happy with my results so far, no fluid, no infection, just the norm.....swelling and still slightly bent! And I can start scar treatment! Vitamin E or Cocoa Butter which I already have! I just have to figure out which I like best! Now for the bad news! I'm sick! I had a low grade temp when I had my vitals taken and I feel really, really crappy. Whatever my son had last week he passed on to me as only a loving child would. But it's my fault and I know the exact moment that I infected myself. He was complaining about me force feeding him chicken noodle soup and I said whatever and took a taste to show him that it was delicious.... and it was! It was also swimming with trifling germs that were waiting to infect my new and improved oh so fine body! [RS bleep]! So just to clarify let me make sure I have everything right....

I am swollen
Slightly hunched over
Oh yeah..... pre menstrual
Sniffling
Coughing
Soar throat

I have a zit on my chin
Head pressure
And slinging snot.

Feel free to add to the list because I'm sure I have that also! But for now I am going to rest because I am REALLY beat right now.

Stay thristy my friends!

13 years ago today I arrived bright and early at the hospital to prepare to be induced into labor. I wasn't really scared I was just ready to get pooh bear out of me because I was miserable and I was ready to meet him. And after 6 hours of labor and pushing 4 times he was mine to hold forever and the peace and purpose he brought into my life has been nothing short of heaven. But the damage he did to my body was closer to hell and I spent the next 13 years hiding, dieting, exercising and obsessing over my monster looking stomach. But these last 13 years have been wonderful and I adore my stinky bear and all he brings into my life and during this recovery he has been so caring and helpful so to my pooh bear........HAPPY BIRTHDAY STINKY!

Now in celebration of the birth of the best child on the planet I took him out for the day, he got a new XBOX game (zombie related of course) XBOX live points, lunch at "The Cheese Cake Factory" and a movie.

"The Cheese Cake Factory" this is where all the trouble started. I ate everything I could get my hands on and then I got up and went and sat at the table next to me and ate their food to. And now I feel the exact same way that I felt at this exact same time 13 years ago.............like I am pregnant and in labor. So ladies don't over eat, don't make the mistake that I made......I am so miserable. So much so that we had to cut the day short and come back home so I could lay down.... but pooh didn't care he was ready to come home and kill some new zombies anyway.

I am going to take a nap now!

Fatty girl out!
