Well I was excited this morning and now in tears. I thought the roller coaster happened afterwards? I'm so excited to have a flat tummy but I look at photos and find more I don't like than I do do now I'm wondering if this will be worth it or if my expectations are out of wack. I have been exercising for the last 2 years doing crossfit and have lost and kept off 40 pounds but I'm thinking I should've done more and that I'm going to be fat with a flat tummy. What is wrong with me? Aughhhhhh. I know I love my doctor he did a breast augmentation 11 years ago and his work is amazing I'm just freakkng out. Hopefully tomorrow it'll be better.

Going in in an hour! I took a shower last night and as I was scrubbing my tummy I thought wow tomorrow this Tim this grossness is gone!!!! I took some before photos and that was demeaning to say the least. I will definitely be watching my diet as I heal and looking forward to when I can finish this all up in the gym. Good luck to anyone else going in today. We are going to rock it!

Wow what a difference a few days will make!!! I feel pretty dang good. Thanks to my hubby and bf who came and stayed the weekend. I'm moving really good especially since my bf brought me a walker...a MUST! I am surprised at how sore my lipo spots are. My TT isn't even really bothersome except a drain and an occasional too quick movement. I have been massaging my legs today since they are super bruised. The nurse told my hubby the dr got really aggressive on the lipo. Thank god don't want to do that again if I don't have to. I'm really surprised how low my scar is meaning its not really raised that much. Swelling has set in but hubby said he was in awe when he saw me after surgery I was so small. Guess that's a good problem to have. I'm draining about 30 in both pumps each day and one of them is hurting otherwise I'd be off the pain pills completely today. Have to say so far so good. I'm posting some fatty bombalatty beginning photos and once the dang drains are out I'll post more. So far so great no real complaints. :-)
