I'm 26 a mother of 2 beautiful little girls. I gained quite a bit of weight with the pregnancies and just let myself go. Finally through diet, p90x and the gym I lost 45lbs. I still have some toning to do but it's very discouraging with this flap and constant muffin top. Breast feeding my 2nd baby really took its toll on my breast. I've been a B, C and while breast feeding a D. Now I'm back down to a very deflated B. I've been wanting to get this done since having my first daughter but now that I'm done having kids, I think it's warranted. I'm nervous about being out of the gym for 6-8 weeks. I go 4-6 days a week and do a combo of weight training and cardio. I really want to start TapoutXT, but that'll have to wait til I recover enough. I'm also nervous about not picking up my 1 year old.

I forgot to put what I'm getting. I'm getting a BL and BA with a lollipop incision. Silicone unders, hopefully 425. But the doc says he decides once in surgery to see what looks best. And a TT with lipo of abdomen but no flanks. Surgeon says its a long procedure and worries about adding too much.

Welcome to RealSelf and thank you for starting your story! Being out of the gym will be difficult, so try to focus on good nutrition as much as you can to offset the lack of exercise. Hopefully it will be short term pain for long term gain and that you'll feel even stronger and better once you get back to the routine.

Welcome!!! My fav part of your review is the little one trying to "cover you up" with the towel...super sweet lol. Don't worry about missing the gym! All the hard work you have put into it to get this far will pay off in recovery and you'll be back in there in no time!

I went to this doctor for a consultation. I hope your surgery goes well. I'm divorced and I can tell you that things WILL get better and it's normal to go through a roller coaster of emotions. The storm will pass .... Chin up....and keep up the great work taking care of yourself ... You are worth iT.
