I'm your average lady. I love life. I find happiness in the little things. I love my family. I love my work. I love food and I love to run. So, I don't have a fast metabolism like my husband and children and gain when I celebrate with food and lose when I eat mindful and exercise. Yes, I've struggled lots with weight. I'm 5'6" and at labor have been up to 220+ and have been down as lows as 125 (too skinny for my hubbies liking - he loves curves!) My body likes the 160 range and that was goal for me to get my cosmetic surgery. Ideally, I'd love to be in the 145 - 155 range. I'm at the 160 range now and have been stable for some time. So, I'm uber duber excited! I'll be getting a breast lift with gel implant augmentation under the muscle. I'm a sorry 36B. I squish the skin and boobie into the bra and it doesn't quite fill up. My goal is for a natural round perky full C barely D cup which I can with a great support bra run easily and be active with my kids. My doc is thinking a 375cc will do the trick. My tummy is a squishy icky mess and I can't wait for the lipo and full tummy tuck to give me some flatness and definition and just plain confidence to go swimming! So, here goes! The journey begins. YIPPEEEE!

Making payment today! Wahoo! This is becoming very, very real! I can't stop the obsessing. I now am not only thinking about this every day but dreaming about it too! LOL

2 WEEKS PRE-OP: Today is my pre-op appointment via phone. I have a full sheet of questions to ask regarding medications, an anti-nausea patch to put behind my ear...can I climb stairs to my bedroom after surgery to camp out...when can I walk in the neighborhood....what kind of supplies should I have on hand....should hubby stay close by during surgery or in the waiting room...etc. etc.

I went to Victoria Secret during my lunch break yesterday thinking I would buy a lil something cute to use for before and after pics, but having no idea what size to get, got myself the new perfume "Angel" instead. OMG, it has such a sweet, sexy scent to it! I walked around touching and feeling the lingerie dreaming of what my new bod would look like in the garments. Truly, I can't wait for when you see my side profile for my boobies to be bigger than my tummy. Right now I've got the reverse.

Headed out for a nice morning run now. When I return, I'll be doing push ups. I'm trying to do a last minute arm strengthening to help get myself out of bed post-op. :)

You are going to do great. Being in good shape really helped my recovery. I'm two weeks post op and my P.S said he's never seen anyone heal so quickly. May suggest incorporating some fresh squeezed veggie juices into your daily meals, I found it to be most helpful before and after surgery. All the best

Fresh squeezed veggie juices? Like what? Are these store bought or home made? Thanks for the idea. What was a typical daily diet for you right before surgery and after?

Home Made juices. I would start with Orange and carrot in the morning to boost my vitamin C intake. For lunch it was Kale green apples and spinach "very yummy" all you taste is the apple. Lettuce, carrot, celery and a whole lemon is my fav, I like the salty stuff, and this satisfied my cravings. I didn't have any red meat 2 weeks before and I have not had any since the surgery. Also Beet juice 1 beet 1 pear. If you drink this you will have no need for laxatives or stool softners. And the beet juice makes your skin look pretty. I eat lots of Salmon and other fish, some chicken. Just remember that red meat takes a long time to leave your system and you don't want to be backed up or bloated before surgery. Juicing lettuce is great for illiminating fluid retention something you'll definatley need after surgery.
