I've had two consults for a mommy makeover went with my second PS. I'm a 5'6 plus size mommy but active and healthy. I swim 3-4 times a week, bike and walk. I've been heavier all my life and having 3 c-sections, one of those vertically with my tummy sewed crooked has made it difficult to be truly comfortable with myself. I didn't gain a lot of weight with each baby. My PS was so positive and gave me realistic goals. I'm on a whole foods regiment with concentration on higher protein, this has always worked best for me. My prescriptions are filled and getting the house ready. I have three kids who will help out wonderfully. I have to travel almost 3 hours to my PS, so hoping for a smooth recovery. I will update with pics. :)

Thanks, Teddie! My dr said it wasn't necessary to lose more weight from my initial consult, but if I'm not vigilant, I tend to get too relaxed and weight comes on so fast. I think I'm carb sensitive and that seems to be one of the fastest ways for the weight to come on. Prior to seeing my ps, I lost 50lbs and have kept it off for 2 years. I've just never been a smaller person.

Two weeks away and I'm more excited then nervous. I'm self-employed and am hoping to return to work by mid September. My job is physical, so I have to be able to bend and walk a lot. My sister had her mommy make over last year and I expressed some concern about not being prepared enough as I've read the lists people make. She assured me, I didn't need to buy a lot.
Sports bras, have a comfy chair and healthy food. Drink lots of water and get rest. She didn't need to buy any sort of special compression garments. I already have spanx. I probably need to pick up some easy clothes though. She says Button up shirts work best.

Just spoke to the pre-op nurse. I go next Thursday at 6am. Just became very real. I'm a bundle of nerves. I haven't really been thinking too much about it until now. The possibility of complications ect are on my mind. I've got 3 girls to think about. And the mommy guilt.
