When Dreams Become Reality!! 32 Y/o Mommy of 2 Boys Ready to Love What I See in the Mirror! TT with Lipo of Hips. Eugene, OR

I have given my body to creating our beautiful family and now it's my turn! I'm a 32 year old mom of two young boys a 2.5 year old and an 8 month old. I am 5'6" and 150 lbs ( my goal weight). I have always had a tiny lower body and a heavier top half. Even when I weighed 115 lbs in my ealry 20s I still had large breasts and an inch to pinch in my tummy area. Now with all the stretching and weight gain despite losing every pound after each pregnancy has left me with an unfortunate looking torso. I have done all I can do on my own. I run regularly and eat very clean. I have amazing will power and determination. It's been hard for me to work so hard yet not see the changes I am looking for. My surgical journey begins with a TT and later on will include a BL once more funds are available. Thank you ladies for sharing your journeys with me. You have helped me to see that my desires and expectations are reasonable. Thanks in advance to anyone who follows along. I will get pictures up soon!

Well this isn't fun. Not that I expected posting vulnerable pictured of what I hate the most would feel good. It's depressing that I've come so far yet I'm still the same shape. Basically a smaller version of my worst self. In less than a month I'll never have to see this again. Thankful!!!

I really don't know why I'm not more excited. The main thought I keep having is what if I've spent all this money and I don't get the results I am looking for?! I guess maybe there is still a small chance it's not going to happen and I'm protecting myself from being disappointed. My plan is to be paid in full this next week. Maybe that will make it more real. I'm a control freak and it's bothering me that something that means this much to me will be out of my hands. I don't want to sound crazy but I'm looking forward to my pre-op appointment on the 17th to really stress my concerns. Then my inner calm voice says trust your surgeon. He does this for a living!. Hoping I come around soon...
