I am 5'4 and weight 160. I have gained 40 pounds in 5 years. I have recently lost 24 pounds and I am 10 pounds away from my goal. I have 3 children all from C-section. I have had 5 tumors remved from my scar tissue and I had a full hysterectomy last September.

I am 40 years old and I want to live to the fullest the next 20 years. I want to vacation and wear a bikini. I have raised my 7 kids and I now watch my 2 year old grand daughter. I want to try on clothes with out a girdle or muffin tops. I want my boobs to point up not down. I am so excited!

Ok I didnt get the pictures done yet! Hopefully tonight. Hate taking pictures of myself. Two more days!!! I am so excited I could barely sleep tonight.

Today was much better except I cant get up and down om my own and I still get really sick when I stand up. Mostly I feel down because I hate been dependent on everyone fr everything! It Is so frustrating. I never want to be in this position again. However every time I walk past the bathroom mirror I'm amazed at how different my body looks so I know it will be worth it.

I hurt sooooooo bad. My tummy is so swollen that it split open at my new belly button. My thighs burn and feel like little pin pricks are hitting it. I'm just plain miserable. I think I did too much yesterday. I'm staying in bed today. I have been caring for my grand daughter but my husband sent her back to her mom and is refusing to let me out of bed.

Well its been 3 1/2 weeks and I am still exhausted and overwhelemed. I can stand upright so long as I am wearing my spanx. I love the new shape that is taking place. I had lipo on my hips, flanks, and upper thighs so there is a lot of sweeling still and I dont knwo what the final look will be yet. I love my new boobs. I just got to slow down a bit. I have never slept so much!

Great review?

Glad to hear your doing well. What happen to heather??
mignik68 1 Sep 2011
It's been awhile...thought about deleting my page after what happened to heather, but I just decided not to post pics. I am doing great. Lots of energy. Vitamin E is making my scar so tiny and beautiful. My belly button is a little infected. Under my breast is not so good. Stitches poke out and hurt. I am wondering when I can exercise. Great news, my doc wrote a prescription for massage on my flanks, thighs and hips for once a week and my insurance is covering it...woohoo!

Awwww tell them to find another way around and get something to eat on their own. For petes sake you did just have major surgery. Don't feel bad about it either, they should be doing for you for awhile.

You really look great, hang in there. It will all be a memory before too long :)
mignik68 11 Aug 2011
Good days and bad. My flanks, hips, and thighs hurt sooo bad. I still can't stand up right and it seems everyone forgets I just had surgery as they expect dinner, laundry and car rides. I know I am emotional and it will go away. I appreciate you asking. Thank you
