When I was 18 years old I was fit and 115 lbs. I had my first child at 19 the day before my 20th birthday he has changed my life as well as my body. I packed on almost 100 lbs whip pregnant with him. I had my daughter 5 years later. She is a happy beautiful girl. 18months after her I had my youngest son. You can probably imagine what my body went through. He was the biggest of all of them weighing in at a total of 9.6 pounds. My fit petite body was used up and nothing but a big blob of nasty. I went into a depression stage after my youngest child. I ate and ate and got even bigger. That was 8 years ago. I hit my biggest at 234 pounds and I am only 5'4". My husband said I carried it well But my step daughter kept cracking jokes about me being big. It hurt.. I had a Dr appointment just a yearly physical, and was told to lose weight because my cholesterol and blood pressure were really high! I was borderline diabetic I got scarred. I wanted to be healthy so I could grow old and see my kids grow up and play with my future grand babies. I started working out and eating right I started really paying attention to my eating habits and portion sizes. I lost almost 70 lbs in less than a year! You can probably imagine the jelly roll I have to tuck into my pants. I started talking to my husband about the TT surgery. He told me if I can balance my weight and hold it at 150-160 for 6 months he would pay for the surgery. It will be 6 months in July. I have set up a consultation with a DR Rucker in Eau Claire, Wi for June 9th I am really excited to meet him. I have decided if he gives me a good vibe I will start my process so I can have the surgery in Sept. I will post photos one I crop them and modify them so you can't see my face but I have a before and after. Its a huge transformation. I have to look back at it daily to remind myself how much progress I have made. Thanks for reading watch for updates.

Had my consultation!!
Yesterday I had my consultation for a tummy tuck. I was contemplating on getting a mommy makeover but was unsure due to cost and my husband's insecurities. Well my husband and I met with Dr. Rucker and right off the bat he made me feel very comfortable. He made it about me and what I wanted not what my husband wants. He made my husband feel comfortable with my decisions. I could honestly say he made him feel so at ease that I talked him into a full mommy makeover. I am so excited. I will not set the date until next month but I'm shooting for the middle of September.
I am right now a small A cup going to an average C cup. The only time I ever had boobs was when I was overweight. I am so pumped!!!
I am going to get the body I have wanted for so long! The tummy tuck is the big one. That alone will change my appearance.
The Dr. Praised me for my weight loss and quitting smoking. He was very impressed. I am very happy with myself as well. I don't praise myself enough.
Updates to come!
