38yo 3 Kids, 50# Weight Loss 3 Years After Last Child! 150lbs, 5'7", Crossfit Junkie! Albany, NY

I'm scheduled to have a mommy makeover on March 5. My plan is a full tummy tuck, no lipo, breast lift and Aug with "gummy bear" implants, 350. I'm very active with crossfit and everyday life as a busy nurse, and mom. I lost 50 lbs, and more in inches, through hard work using my fitnesspal, life style change (no diet for say...just healthier choices), and working out. My breast were DD, and my weight was 205. I am now size 6, 150#, and a large B, which is mainly skin. :-). Love those who see me and hear what I'm doing and say they would give anything for smaller breast! What they don't get is I DID have large breast, wished them away, but didn't realize they would slide down my body like butter!!!! Also, my first child was an emergency C-section which left me with a vertical inc from belly button down (a front butt). I have also had many abdominal surgeries due to open gall bladder removal, two incisional hernias after, and my appendix out, all not including my C-section. I'm no stranger to abdominal surgery, but I'm hoping being so active will help me heal sooner, as I'm not a fan of chillaxing. My biggest question is: is there anyone out there who does crossfit, or lifting and how long till they got back to it? I'm planning on 6-8 weeks out before I even attempt anything. My coaches are great and are very protective of their athletes, but I'm hoping I don't blimp out while I'm out.

So, I'm nervous, kind of. Just can't wait to get this done. I never thought this would be me, but I also never thought this would be me....the size and fitness level I am now. This is my reward for my hard work! I hope it all goes smooth!

I will post pictures of before once my hubby takes them (I'm not great at capturing the "true" extra skin...I look normal face on, but I am sooo not).

Here are some pictures. Feel kind of odd posting pictures of myself...but you can't see me, and I hope they will benefit others who will be doing this as well.

Tomorrow is the big day. Had my husband say good bye to the old...he will welcome the new this weekend when I see him next. I'm not nervous at all, just ready to get it done and move back into my healthy lifestyle in 8-12 weeks :-(. Had my last crossfit class today, did light weights and just had fun. I'm not sure I have everything I need, but I have things lol. What type of bra should I look for? I'm so confused on the bra for after (I know, late thought). I have the tummy stuff. Bought a couple new king size pillows to prop myself up after. Hmmm, what else? Anything? Anything? I will keep you posted, I know we all are looking for "what happens after". Soon....
