Hi I'm 26years old 172 lbs 5'4ft finally scheduled my surgery! Even though my surgery isn't until september I have lots to do before my day arrives physically and financially. A little about myself I'm married and have an 8yr old daughter who I love with all my heart. rewind 4yrs ago I was a stay at home mom I weighed 250lbs one day reflecting on my life I thought about what situation i would be in if something were to happen to my husband and it completely changed my view about the person I was and wanted to be. How could I possibly take care of my family if I could not take care of myself so I applied for a job and joined the gym. present I'm down 78lbs and with the same company as the assistant mngr:D With the support of my husband Ive decided to have a mommy make over and this is my story.

Okay this site it really addicting and now reflecting on my thoughts and feelings whew I've been working like crazy because i don't want to put this on a credit card and i don't want to worry about anything during recovery except healing and relaxing Im planning on taking 6 weeks off of work because my job inn involves a lot of physical labor and I'm always on my feet so right now I'm working as much as possible. okay I feel like a lot of other moms on here guilty for spending so much money when I could use it for something else but my husband is so supportive he tells me "don't worry about the money there always more to make" love him so much!! oh and I'm down to 163.7 still loosing weight I'm kinda glad my surgery is a ways out I'm in no rush to be living in a chair its going to drive me crazy and my husband says "you better not be trying to clean and stuff ill pay someone to clean I don't want you jacking yourself up!' Eeek I'm going to have to really start thinking of things to keeps myself busy.....in a chair lol:)

you look great and I could never tell that you weigh 163. We are around the same weight but I am slightly taller. But you carry the weight well and when you do have surgery you are going to look so good.

Alrighty less than 4 months and my day will be here time is flying by so quickly I'm down too 153 lbs and feeling fantastic!! my husband told me the other day "baby even if you weren't getting your surgery you are hella sexy" haha i just love him!! I'am a bit caught in a battle about breast size I don't want to be too small but i a don't want to be huge I'm thinking maybe a large C I've always been a DD and I'm so over the large breast phase beside that I know after my surgery I plan to continue being more active to keep my figure. I don't want to be top heavy I've heard that having large breast can make you look heavier? so I'm going to find the closest pic to what I want my breast to look like and show my ps at my pre OP appt:) hope all you sexy mamma"s happy healing and those who are coming up soon the best!! recovery!!

keep up with the fitness that is what helped me recovery so quickly. I did a lot of squats, lunges, and weight lifting before surgery to make sure my legs were ready bc that's all you can use to get yourself up. I am now 7 days post-op and am itching to go back to the gym
