Back on track

I am a 30 yo mom of 3 (11,8, and 2)... After my oldest two I was in the best shape (110lbs) of my life. I worked at hooters for goodness sake lol. However, I decided to get implants and feel they ruined me. First off I was a small "B" and I told the dr I wanted to be a full B small C and walked out a large DD:/ They were huge and I was so unhappy. A few years later I got pregnant with my youngest and they doubled in size along with my body. I gained a lot! I got up to over 170lbs, but after birth I went down to 135. Who ever said that breast feeding makes you lose weight obviously didn't take in to consideration the exceptions. I am the exception to the rule. I held on to weight and gained. I just finished breast feeding at 28m and I'm now 160lbs, at 5 foot 2. I've tried eating clean, working out with a trainer 5 days a week and various diet programs. I've lost 10lbs but would gain it right back. No matter how hard i try i lose in my legs, arms, and everywhere else BUT my stomach. I'm in the process of contacting surgeons to have a full mommy makeover including: Tummy tuck, breast implant removal and lift, back and flank lipo. I'm nervous and still not 100% but I'm so tired of feeling like an alien in my own body, I don't feel like my outer depicts who I am. I'm still young and feel like I'm so old and out of shape. Hopefully this is a start to a great journey.

Hard to believe that it was just about 4 years ago I got my implants in and they look so sad. The before pics in the hooters uniform was after my first two kids and the present is bivouacs after my 3rd who did a number on me. I can't believe I'm posting these lol

Just left the consult with Dr Raskin, I would be lying if I didn't say that I was a little disappointed. I drove 2 hours to go to his office and left with nothing worth the drive. I was really wanting to get a general cost and ask some questions regarding his procedures. However, I did write that I am planning to lose 15-20lbs. That was meant that I wanted to lose it BEFORE I actually go to get the surgery not after but once he read that his conversation shifted. He focused more on the fact that he can't help me now until I lose the weight. I totally appreciate him being honest and caring about my well being vs money but its still saddening. I didn't get a good feeling being there though.


Hopefully my next one goes better and I totally know that I won't do the surgery until I lose the weight. I've been struggling to lose the weight though which is the issue. Dr Raskin did give me some good info to being up to my primary. Hopefully this is just a minor road block
