I'm Only 29...3 Kids and Weight Loss Has Wreaked Havoc on my body! - Denver, CO

WORTH IT$15,300
After my 2nd kid, I couldn't loose the 60 lbs I gained. 5 years later I ended up getting really into health and fitness. I work out 6 days a week and love weight lifting. My 3rd kid, I gained 45lbs and lost it in 4 months. I vowed to never go back to 230lbs!!! No matter what I do, I can't do anything about the skin and stubborn fat on my stomach. Between breastfeeding my little one for 14 months and weight lifting, my boobs have "deflated." I have decided to finally take the giant step and get them fixed. I've had my consolation, picked my doctor and secured my loan. I will be making the deposit and officially scheduling my operation date.
I am very worried about my breast augmentation as I really don't even want to go bigger. I just want them back to where they were before. I'm really scared they're going to be too big. My PS was recommending 300-400cc. I really think that maybe 200cc may even be too big. I think I'll feel better after talking to my PS again. We'll see.
I've also been reading a lot of recovery stories and I'm getting a little worried about going back to work too soon too. Oh the joys of big decision making!!! :-D

Nerves setting in..... also need advice for my glutes post op!!!!
I'm going to be trying to schedule my date for the end of next month. That's really only 4 weeks away. After reading so many of your stories, I feel better knowing what to expect but really nervous on what my healing rate will be. I've never had any type of surgery before.
It sounds stupid but one of the biggest things I'm worried about is loosing my butt! I've worked SO hard on getting this big plump butt that barely fits in my underwear or jeans lol ..... if I sit on it for 2 weeks and can't workout for a total of 6 weeks.... how much of it am I gonna loose?!?!?!?!
Does ANYONE have any suggestions or types of exercises I can do while recovering to work my glutes at least a little so I don't lose it all????

OMG!!! I thought i was the only one worried about "the booty!" I've been trying out different glute exercises to see which ones engage the core the least. i think doing exercises with body weight would be good for maintenance. I'm wondering how soon after surgery will the stairs be ok because there are a lot of different exercises to work all the different angles. I was also thinking the treadmill on a high incline would atleast help to maintain what I already have.

Opps... meant that comment to reply to you...
I was thinking body weight squats without full extension at the top... and maybe a type of leg press? Sooo glad im not alone in this struggle!!!!!

I'm worried about this, too! Have no advice on the matter other than reading STRONG CURVES -- if you haven't already, specifically the section about how to attend to your glutes between workouts. So far my butt hasn't flattened but I really don't want it to after all that work! Also, congratulations on having strong glutes going in. I was pleasantly surprised by the added benefit of easily sitting on the toilet from day one. Strong legs, arms and back helped me feel pretty much recovered by day 4. Now mostly wrestling with the temptation to do too much too soon because I feel pretty great.

I will def read that! And i know its hard but take ur time and dont rush it.

I am worried too and sorry I dont have any advice other then what other people have told me which is your muscles have memory. So Im hoping once I am cleared by my doctor, I will start back up slowly until Im back to where I was pre op..I have read so many stories on here about other woman doing things too soon and having problems along with it and even stories from my doctor.. So if I can suggest anything I would say do nothing, go on walks and be patient. I know easier said then done, because Im struggling with this myself...good luck!

Thank you for the encouragement! Ive read that too. I guess we'll both just have to listen to our bodies and go at our own pace. Its hard to know what that is when working out is all about "pushing urself" .... ugh ill have to learn to wait and go slow
October 25, 2016
Yes , completely agree! And everyone's pain tolerance is different.. I have even put reminders in my phone to do nothing even if I feel better, just walk around for the next 6 weeks lol!

Its def something that you feel like a creeper. I debated so much before posting pictures but decided that the pictures have helped me so much so i needed to do it too lol
October 25, 2016
Lol! Yes! I so feel like that! Haha! However my surgery is this coming Tuesday so I figured it's now or never.. Plus I can look back to this experience.. And to be honest I don't have anyone to talk about it with other then my husband.. So I'm dying to talk/connect with other moms that are on the same journey..
October 25, 2016
Absolutely! Its good to have someone to share ur journey with and have ppl support you and understand... no judgment.... pure genuine support

Hello - you look great, of course, but I just want to say that your bust looked just fine before the surgery. They looked vulnerable, soft and feminine, the way women really are ... We are too hard on ourselves so I am hoping that others with a pretty bust like yours will think twice, three times, many times ... what is it we're really looking for? Love? It doesn't come from your bust size ...
But also, good on your for getting fit, and weight training. I love that too ... best wishes

I went really back and forth on doing the BA. I dont think they were too bad. I decided if i was gonna do it than im just gonna do it all. But thats also why im a little disappointed that they're bigger than i wanted
Thank you for sharing your story. IÂ hope you'll get all the feedback and support you need from this community. How much time have you decided to take off before returning to work?
