Hello ladies! I finally got my husband to agree...

Hello ladies! I finally got my husband to agree with me on letting me get a mommy makeover! I have been wanting to get this done for about 10yrs now. He says he loves me the way I am, but I keep trying to tell him, it's not about what he thinks, it's about what I think and feel about myself. My weight has gone up and down so much through the last few years because I'm a marathon runner and just recently did my first Half Iron Man. When I'm training things are great, but the moment I stop in just a few months I blow up. The smallest I got was to 154 pounds and my breast deflated to a A cup and I still had that sagging skin hangover my c-section scar. After my Half Iron Man, I took a year off from training and I blew up to 198 pounds and now a C cup. I'm currently trying to lose weight and now I weigh 190 pounds . I'm wanting to lose 10 more pounds before my surgery....fingers crossed!

So here I am about 1 month away from surgery. I'm getting a tummy tuck, with some trunk Lipo and a lift with a 400-415cc implant. I'm super nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. If you ladies have any advice I would love to hear it! I can't believe this really happening!!

Here are a few before pictures of me and my wish pictures!

Surgery month is here!!!! This wait is killing me, I don't know how you ladies do it that start a blog 4+ months ahead of surgery..lol..I'm going crazy waiting here now that I know this is really happening! I'm still focused on losing weight! Last month was a success, I'm starting this month off at 186!! Yay..I hope to be in the 170's for surgery. Preop is on the 13th, and I'm getting nervous just thinking about it. Once I go to preop, I'll have a better idea of what will all be done and a better size of what implants I will be getting!!

The countdown to my preop appointment has started! Next Monday is the big day to make my decisions on what all I'm getting done and to make the big payment! Started getting a few things for recovery and getting things in line with the kiddos. Weight loss wasn't so great last week due to traveling with my son, he's a 10yr old elite gymnast. Trying to get back on track! The excitement builds up everyday and I'm so ready to have this done and to be on the road of recovery! Still not sure on what size to pick for my implant..ugh Here's a few more wish pic, I know I won't come out looking like this, but a girl can dream! Have a lovely day ladies and I'll write another post after my preop visit!
