Ok so I'm 33, mother of 3, 17 & 14, hate my body and finally doing something about it! I am so excited!! I had my son when I was 17! Gained a ton of weight and then got prego again and had my daughter at 19 got up to 265 lbs.. Thoroughly the years I have gone up and down with different diets and have worked my butt off!! Literally! I got down to 145.. Yes that is a 120 lb.. That's an entire person! Anyway.. I gained some back through a nasty ugly divorce/custody battle and ended up meeting the man of my dreams almost 4 years ago.. Married almost a year now and my Dh is very supportive of this decision.. I have saved 2/3 the $ and financing the other 1/3..my date is 2/28 .. Pre op is a week from tomorrow and I feel like I am living in a dream, is this real!?

So I am getting the tummy tuck and 550cc to 600cc saline under the muscle..and lupine to my flanks, I am stoked!! I love BOOBS! Hope everyone is well!! Happy Monday!

Went and picked up a few things for recovery! And the guilt is kicking in! :( It's too late to turn back now, but I wish I didn't feel so guilty! Outside of paying for the Surgery spending more money on myself for supplies and still need a few things.. Blah!

Winding down my work day, I find my mind keeps wondering and thinking more and more about my upcoming procedure, I am really 100% sure that I want this done and deserve it But I can't help but keep asking my self ' what the hell are you doing?' .. Spending a small fortune on yourself for your own vanity .. You know what? Yes I am! I am doing it for my own happiness and to enjoy the rest of my life without feeling bad about the way I look! I don't have to cry my eyes out anymore when I leave the gym because all my hard work will actually start to show at some point! I deserve it for all the crap and clean up I have had to put up with from other people! And if other people want to judgement for doing it so be it! ... T minus 10 days and counting... I am freaked out! .. I'm scared anout all the normal stuff but also scared of being jusged by people i care about..What am I doing? .. I still need to get some before photos just not feelin it.. :'(
Wow!!! Less than a week now! I am not freaking out...
Wow!!! Less than a week now! I am not freaking out as much! The surgery center called me yestersday to ask me if i was allergic to anything or have any questions on what i am supposed to do. they told me to make a list of all my meds for the anerhesiologist.. I think i might add my Arnica Montana to my daily vitamin, B complex, VitC and Bromelain. I am getting really excited!! Exercising
regularly and still trying to eat healthy.... I am done with feeling bad about doing this for myself!! My dear sweet Husband put it all in perspective for me! He is so awesome!! I think he is getting excited too!!... Only 6 Days To Go!!!
Took some pics this morning!! God awful!!

OMG!!! I am goin under the day after tomorrow to get rid of my Chicken Skin Fat belly and Utters!!! Tje before pics i took did help justify iny pwn way that this is not just a want but a need!...Feeling is unreal!! Having a hard time focusing as the surgery is consuming every thought!! Still made it to the gym this a.m and will go walking tonight! Feel as though I have 1 million things to do before I am down and out!.. My poor DH is married to a crazy lady.. He asks me 'why are you stressed?' He says he isn't going to have anything to do while I am Sleepin the 1st couple days.. He keeps tellin me not to worry bout laundry and cleaning and grocery shopping .. But I can't help it.. I CAN'T WAIT TILL ITS OVER!!!! ... I think the waiting/anticipation is going to be the worst part!!! Anyway, hope all are healing well who have had their surgeries done! And praying for all those who are waiting including myself to stay focused!! .. Have a great Tuesday!!

2 Weeks PO tomorrow. What an emotional challenging couple weeks!! I took most my pre op pics down and deleted and now wish i would of kept em'!! 1st week was rough, I had moments where I honestly questioned my decision to do this.. I am over it and I am totally glad!! Drains out day 11.. Major relief to get those out! Boobs hurt, swollen and hard like I am fully engorged!! I keep tellin my Husband I need to feed a baby.. Belly is swollen and hard, not sure if my Doc did any MR or not but I did feel like I was wearing a tight corset which seems to get looser every day. He took my binder off Day 4 and advised me not to wear anything.. I wonder if that could be why I am swollen but then I think I would be swollen anyway... Incision is super low belly is flat but bloated! ..I have been eating like crap and feel super fat! I am back to work tomorrow :( but will help with getting my diet back on track. luckily i work 100% from home so won't be uncomfortable or have to drive.. Oh 1 bit if advise, TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!! that is what they are for!! Take the pain pills to let your body heal!! Stay ahead of the pain! .. Happy healing everyone!!
I am so swollen it hurts!! :(

The waiting is hard. You can use this time to prepare meals to freeze and get stocked up on supplies. Here's a list you might find helpful.
