49, 3 Kids. TT and Breast Lift

It's hard to believe it has been 3 weeks. I can't believe it. I am definitely glad I did this. I think the hardest thing right now is I am really tired. My doctor says it is very common and 3 weeks to be tired. Your body is in healing mode. Not to push it and all. I have some what. I mean you can only sit or lay down so long. Watch Netflix or read. I have to say. I have had quiet time with the Lord so that is definitely a plus. Daily devotions have had me have a great mind set.
Well here are a few pics of me at 3 weeks. It's a red bikini for mu husband. I am going back to the gym and yoga when my doctor release me for exercise. I have a trainer for a few months to get me started slow and ramp up. I don't want to hurt myself.
Thank you for all the stories and inspiration on here. They definitely have helped me get through a lot of the tough times and know that a lot of what I am feeling is normal. Hope everyone has a great Friday. ????

Here is a pics of me. I am so so bloated but I keep telling myself it is only 11 days. The swelling on my flanks has gone down a lot. But comes back if I do too much. I don't see my waist going in yet but I know it will. Just time. Ugh. That word.
One pic from the side is me standing there and then me holding my abs in. I could actually pull the tip part in now so the swelling under my breast has started to go down. I guess it starts up at the top and works it's way down.
I have to say I was ready physically for this but not mentally. I started crying out of the blue 7 days in. I could not stop. I think things like. Why did I do this. Am I vain. Why wasn't I happy with what I had. All kinds of thoughts. Plus I think it being the holidays I felt sorry for myself I was missing out on those things as well. Just didn't feel like Christmas etc.
Make sure to give yourself a break. You have been through major surgery. Think of all your body has been through. Recovery mode is a long haul. Just take it one step at a time. One second or hour. Wherever you have to start. I am better but I am not there.
Complaints:
- sleep. Want to sleep on my side
- regular beauty things. Nails and toes.
- drains. Oh the drains. I go to the doctor tomorrow- out you darn drains
- not wanting to eat - nothing seems appealing at all. Just want to have yogurt and tea.
- constipation -(gone thank goodness)
- back pain. Lower. Ugh.
Prepare yourself for these end other things that will bother you. It's short lived. Just have to remind myself that

I am sitting in my hotel waiting to leave for the doctors. Am I nervous. Yes. Worried a little. Ready. Yes. I am 49 and 3 kids. Love ?? them all and I am ready to get this body back - tummy tuck and breast lift. Here are a few pics of my belly. Breast will take at hospital. Markings and all. Ugh.
Here we go.
