Ahh!! I can't believe my Mommy Makeover surgery is only 3 weeks away :') I'm having a tummy tuck with liposuction and breast lift with augmentation. I'm so excited to reunite with my flat tummy and perky boobies! I'm 5'4 190lbs; I've lost 30lbs and gained a lot of muscle in the past 3 months (working out daily). I'm doing as much research as possible to prepare for the big day. My husband has been extremely helpful and supportive through my whole journey - very lucky to have him in my life. // I don't know anyone personally who's had plastic surgery; I really need advice from ya'll.

Protein, a lot of water and arnica is the key to good recovery Hun.. This site will help you lots!! Have you got a chair recliner? That will help in first week to sleep to keep you in an angled position. But if not a lot of pillows around you will be fine. Also a foot stool to get onto and off your bed. I'm having my op on dec 18th so you will be on the flat side before me. Emma

Thank you for the tips, I really appreciate it. I just came back from ordering my recliner :) I still can't believe that I'm getting my flat belly back and getting rid of my kangaroo pouch - lol! Having my 3 babies really took a toll on my belly. I'm going to post a picture of my belly but I need to build the courage first. // I'm super excited for you - can't wait to see all your progress :)
