Started kids very young. Had very healthy children. My first was my largest which paved the way for the ease of two more children. She was 10.7lbs. I gained 60 lbs with her. I have bounced around with weight. Mostly in a decent range but since my hysterectomy in 2014, it's been difficult to look at myself and feel sexy. I'm extremely fortunate to have a fiancé who is more that accepting and very open to whatever I would like to do with my body. I want to look sexy for myself, but I really want to look sexy for him. I am currently battling my last 10-15 lbs but have cut out every bit of garbage or if my diet. Pounding the cucumber water so I get enough fluids. I'm super excited for this journey. The circle of life. Women have this amazing gift through childbirth, but our bodies take a beating. I'm super excited to start my new year 2017 with a smokin hot body. Especially since I'm hitting grandma zone in march. Let the countdown begin. 49 sleeps until my kangaroo pouch is gone.

I'm having my surgery Dec 13th! I can relate. I had big babies too (no 10 pounders though- you poor girl!) I always gained a lot of weight through pregnancy. I love my children but they took a toll on my body. I'm so excited to lose my pouch! This will be a fun journey. Good luck to you.

Stay in touch. Have you researched the crap out of the internet yet. I don't think there is another post I could read haha. Best of luck on December 13. Who's your surgeon?

I'm Calgary too. I'm 15 days post op full TT and MR. I went to Dr.Whiddon. My first baby was almost 10 lbs too! I wish you all the best in your upcoming journey!

Feeling pretty good. It's a longer journey than I anticipated or maybe I'm just impatient. Probably the latter. My advice is to listen to your body and accept the fact that you will not be doing too much the first 3 weeks so be prepared to catch up on some reading or Netflix. Drink lots of water. Take your pain meds religiously the first 5-7 days. Eat lots of fibre afterwards, you will be constipated. I drank prune juice too. I didn't have a problem, though I did take the stool softeners the doc gave me as well the first 2 days. Other than that feel free to keep in touch! You will be happy you did it!

I've been trying to lose some extra weight prior to surgery. Less than 6 weeks remaining. So
Excited. Having a difficult time keeping myself from researching everything I can about tummy tucks, the different types, my wants and don't want.
My fiancé has taken some photos for me. I have circled the areas I believe I need work done. I am still losing weight and trying my hardest to hit my goal. I am 4 lbs from the goal with 6 weeks. I am contemplating going an extra 5 after. Started this journey at 185. Currently 169, goal weight 165 but contemplating 160.

LOLOL I know exactly what you are saying. I did the same thing prior to my surgeries. I was obsessed for about 20 hours a day.
