I DID IT!!!!!

Pics one week and five days prior to Tummy Tuck....Can't wait to get rid of this jelly belly!!!

Well, I am counting down the days. I have one week from tomorrow before I get my long time awaited TUMMY TUCK! I am so excited, but still so sick of the time passing so slowly. I feel like it is all in slow motion still. I have been trying to keep busy, but I just can't get it off of my mind. I think I am obsessed with the thought of a flat tummy after not having one for 19 years. I am so excited. I just can't explain how much I want this. I get nervous about the outcome not looking as good as I might want it to, but I have also come to realize that anything is BETTER than what I have now. So, I am ready!!! I wish I had more time off of work because I would take it prior to my procedure just to find something to do to help pass the time...just to hang out with my Girlfriends who don't work would be nice. I have bought pretty much everything I need for the procedure and recovery period I think. The one thing I don't have that I so need is a new mattress! You would think if I could spend 6500.00 on a TT that I would have the money to buy a new mattress before I am stuck laying on the bad one for a few days most all day, but hey, I have my priorities! LOL! I am so glad that I have such a great group of people to go through this with....so many have been an inspiration and I don't know what I would have done without this forum and these great women! Thanks to everyone and I wish you all the best....FLAT TUMMY here I come!

Well, I am two days away from my surgery and I have become a cleaning fool. I think I have wiped down every base board in my house. My kids have been tortured with the words "take your shoes off and don't touch that" all weekend. I am not sure why I am in this mode, but I am ready for it to end. I think I am just trying to use up all of this nervous energy. The things stressing me right now are crazy...things that should not even be important....like the thought of people trying to take care of me...I don't like it at all. I have this fear of my girlfriends coming over and cooking or trying to pick my house up while I am sleeping etc...I don't like people doing for me...I like doing for THEM! Just the way I am. To be honest, I think I would like it more if I just had everything (meds, drinks, snacks etc) within reach and everyone else just went about their lives with work etc and acted as though I didn't have surgery. I don't mind the hubby doing things for me, but others, I just have a hard time letting pamper me. Outside of all of that crazy stuff, I am so ready to get this done. I have heard good stories and I have heard bad ones, but let me just say...BRING IT ON! I have wanted this for way to long and it is about to happen! I will trade almost anything to keep from tucking my muffin top in my pants or keeping my pants from making me look like I have PLUMBERS BUTT! lol I am READY!
