So ready for my Mommy Makeover!

I took notes in my journal so I could publish my recovery days when I had the energy to deal with it and I’m glad I did. That’s why I’m posting all this at once. I have to admit that day 7 was the absolute lowest that I felt. I was emotional and exhausted and wondering why I “ruined” my body. I wished that I had never done the procedure and had major regret. My long time boyfriend was acting as my caretaker and he was exhausted too taking care of me and we were not in a good place. This recovery is much harder than fooling through the actual procedure. It is mentally taxing and feels like you’re on a roller coaster ride you don’t want to be on and it won’t stop! I cried and and felt really low and down and was sick of taking medication and emptying drains and just not feeling normal. Please be prepared for this- I thought I was but I absolutely was unprepared for how awful and down I would feel. If your significant other is taking care of you they are going to be going on the same ride- it’s not easy and they need to be prepared for how tough it’s going to be. Big hugs to all of you out there going through this - it’s tough and long but it will eventually be worth it. Hang in there. That being said…the next post will describe today and how I feel like a normal human being again and am falling in love with my new shape!
