So here goes.... I'm a 35yr old mother of 3 with a scheduled surgery in less then a month. Procedure plan is breast lift and implants (round gel 360cc) TT, lipo on my back, flanks and inner thighs as well as butt. Fat transfer to butt for more fuller round behind (I already have some junk) super nervous. I started having kids real young and haven't felt good about my body for as long as I can remember. Clothes hid a lot!

I am excited for you! No one can tell you if its the right time for you though - so follow your heart and your logical mind - and realize that fear is a normal thing. :) You can deal with the fear and still do what you wish to become a more beautiful you on the outside. What matters though - is on the inside! My surgery is scheduled for November 18th and I know that it is coming up way too fast! I wonder if I am ready (but know that I am) and if I am doing the right thing financially (but know that I am!) and if I will be a total wuss after surgery (I know that I will be! LoL). So listen to yourself. Take a moment to let the emotional doubts and fears in - and then YOU decide if they are just normal pre-op and pre-change fears or more than that. :) I am not far from you - I work in Denver actually! So you are not all alone in this. The wonders of this site include the ability to link with people who are right where you are and know what you are going through. Hang in there! You will make the right decision for you. I'll be sending good luck vibes! :)

Oh - and just so you know - NONE of us have the perfect pre-op body. :) And weight is a personal thing. If your surgeon is satisfied that they can perform the procedures you wish to have done at your current weight and with your current expectations in mind - then you are ok. Ask questions and make your decision. Whatever you decide is ok :)

Thank you so much! I want this so bad! I climbed a 14er this summer and It was such an accomplishment for me that I wanted to move to my next goal. Your words mean more then you know! Good luck on your surgry!!
October 30, 2015
Sounds to me like you are strong and healthy and have already made the most difficult decision... You Go!! :) And keep us posted ok? I'm excited for you!

Your very normal with your worries. You are not alone. I just had my MM done on 10/22 and feel pretty damn good. I think what most of us fear is just that fear of the "unknown". Your gonna be fine. Just allow yourself to feel what you do and go with things one day at a time. That's pretty much all you can do, right? From the pictures you have posted you are already starting with a good basis

I had my mommy makeover the 31st of August and I'm so happy I had it done! I still have these thoughts that I shouldn't have done it because it was so expensive but when I look in the mirror or simply just get dressed I love how I look now! I do have to have a revision on my sides because of "dog ears" which are apparently very common. Even with that I still am happy

Weight gain
SunshinetruNovember 5, 2015
Oh no! I've put on 6lbs and I wanted to lose weight. All this candy and stress! I'm so mad at myself. I decided today that I'm putting up my Christmas decorations because I don't think I'll feel up to it after my surgery. I cleaned my fridge, oven, wiped down all the cabinets. I guess you can say I'm pretty nervous! Anxiety level is out the roof.... Less than 2 weeks to go.

I can completely relate. I've been avoiding the scale because I know it won't be good. Don't beat yourself up over it. I plan on putting up everything but my Christmas tree this weekend too. I think it will help with the post surgery blues to have the house all cheery
November 5, 2015
I was thinking of putting up the tree up too but my husband thinks I'm crazy! lol. I should have avoided. I knew I had to see it thou cause I'm out of control! Counting the days.
November 5, 2015
No time to beat yourself up over a few pounds. Take a deep breath - put up the tree - and just give yourself a moment. You'll be fine! I'm less than two weeks out now too and I simply cannot wait! I want to just go right now and get it over with! :) Love your housecleaning escapades. I have been doing that too - its been so good to have everything shiny and ready. I have a bag ready that I am throwing things into daily as I remember them or as I check them off my list. My nervous energy is all about just getting this over with! Best of luck woman - you are awesome! And its going to be ok.

Awe thanks! Can you believe it's almost here. Once Nov hit I got slightly panicked. I painted my fireplace last night. OCD kicking in. I just know I can't let myself so these things after for proper healing. For you being away from home is a great option. Out of site of our mind :)

I really think being gone for several days after will be a great thing. I will notice ALL of that stuff! I am doing the crazy cleaning lady stuff now - and you're so right. November arriving brought out the OCD in me too! I was outside today pruning my perennials and emptying some flower pots - and decided to trim back a shrub too?? Seriously?? AND I have all of my linens in the laundry and my floors clean. I cut up a pumpkin and am cooking pumpkin soup. I have three little grandsons (6,5 and4) playing in the yard and I decided I needed to take a minute and clean out my email mess too... I am insane! So you are definitely with the right company here. LoL - I just want the date to get here NOW so I can quit obsessing!
November 7, 2015
You just gave me a list of things to do!!! Hahah. Good thing it's a nice weekend :)

Ah, don't sweat the small stuff and throw the scale out for a while. 6 lbs. can be water anyway, you'll be fine! Take all of the preop jitters one day/one moment at a time. Before you know it your day will be here and while your recouping you'll wonder why you worried so much. Just breath and relax and if you don't get everything done before your surgery oh well, somehow things always manage to workout. Before my surgery I drove myself crazy only to say "why was I so stressed out about that and worried..." Be gentle with yourself.
