So far had my consultation with the doc seems super knowledgeable and was very informative. The staff was friendly and response I'm booked for 12/17 it can't come soon enough. I feel like this is the culmination of 20 years of weight loss weight gain two pregnancies will keep u posted. I've learned a lot just reading everyone's experience here so hoping to return the favor.

Strange dreams
JnjmommaNovember 20, 2015
I had a dream that i had the TT done, and i was laying in bed unable to move certain ways. Well, being that I read most ppl are on recliners from the starting, i almost knew it was a dream, but its like i had it done already, lol, stupid yes i know. anyway, i wonder if this is normal, but i have strange dreams all the time. 12/17 can't come soon enough. I also dont wanna die so maybe it can, in case i do? maybe i'm one of the unlucky ones, ugh. if you dont see posts after 12/17, assume the worst.
on the upside to my crazy, i started working out a bit more religiously to gain muscle. I would like to lose 15 pounds (obvi not in 4 weeks), but in general to get back to my goal weight, but not sure if cardio is what i need right now when it comes time to avoiding using abs to get around for the first month or so, so im bulking up and adding some muscle to the old legs and arms and back and hoping that pays off. Hopefully with the right diet, i still lean out a bit, im not crazy of the actual number on the scale, just the size of my pants at the end of the day. Right now i'm a size 6. alot of that is ass and hips though, and some is my ol' kangaroo pouch. I wouldnt be surprised if I stayed in 6 even after because in general i need to lose body fat and i plan to do that the natural way. it might take a year or two to get to where i was eventually. some picts just for fun ill post from my phone seperately.

It's getting real
JnjmommaDecember 3, 2015
just had my final meet w the doc and preadmissions testing at the hospital. A few nurses asked me if I was excited and they always wanted to do it lol. I said they should go for it. They told me they see the surgery and recovery and it looks painful. Well thanks for that ladies lol. Anyway, the doc said the only supply I will need at home for recovery is Gatorade. Lol is this true????? He said don't waste money and time on other stuff so ok fine I will listen. As far as comfort goes if anyone has any suggestions do tell I'm all about being comfortable post Tt.
Ok next update will be some point after its all done eeks pray for me.

We are surgery buddies, I can't believe we just hit the 2 week mark. I'm hoping the next two weeks just fly by!!

This is really getting real for us!! hahaha can't wait. I am your surgery buddy too!!! Dec 18th!!!

Can't believe the nurses would tell you that!!! Geez!
I'm day 3 post op and so far this is what I've needed:
My zip up robe has been THE best purchase for sure. Haven't been without it except when I shower or go pee. No messing with buttons and it stays closed if you need it too!
My two zip up sports bras, prescriptions and stool softeners, and then any entertainment or food/drink you'll need. I used a stool from our house to sit on in the shower. I could see how a walker could come in handy but I've just been using my hubby and sister. Otherwise that's it for now! I may need more healing creams or whatever down the road but I'm good. Looking forward to hearing about your progress!!

Hey thanks so much for the great ideas! I need to get a move on n get those items. I also need to borrow the walker from my mom. What do I need sports bras for?
December 8, 2015
I think every dr is different. Mine had me out a zip front sports bra on the day after surgery and that's what I wear full time. Just needs to be tight enough but not too tight. :) the one I had was actually too loose so today I got a size smaller and it seems better. Just helps keep them in right position and compression to keep swelling down.
