So far I am down 45lbs from 187 scheduled for TT on 4-22 excited, nervous, scared are few of the words that come to mind. I have lots of excess skin from pregnancies that no matter my weight loss wouldn't go away. Now It will forever be gone in just a few short days. I am excited that I will never have to look down and see sagging belly nor will i have to tuck into pants anymore!! But the thing I think I am most excited about is being able to wear underwear again without them rolling down or giving me a rash wear it would rub under the belly and on my pants. I am nervous just because I don't know what to expect after the surgery and scared well because all surgeries we take risks when being put under. In the end I will be so happy with my results that all my hard work and the temporary pain, and the Dr's final touches I will have the body I want!!

I am getting closer and I figured I would ad some pre belly horrific terrifying pics. Not for the faint. These are battle scars from 3 beautiful babies that are about to he rid forever. Well there will be some stretch marks left but not nearly as many that I have now. Hopefully I am able to get some after pics with in the first few days after my TT w/MR and lipo. Still really not sure what to expect, before I had any children I weighed 97lbs. I don't ever want to be that small again because people thought I has eating disorder. But to be 125-135 I would be alright with that. I am not sure if I will lose any weight from the surgery itself even though my Dr. Told me they would be taking lbs right away as my loose skin is quite heavy. So I will wait and see.

It's really happening....OMG!! My time is for 10:45 am to be at the hospital. I can't wait to be done with this so the overwhelming anxiousness will be gone and I can start the healing process. I do have to stay the night which is fine. I will let everyone get used to me not doing everything for them for a while....lol My husband bless his heart is a god send. He took 2 wks off to help me. I will try and post pics when i get home from the hospital for some updates. Talk to you all on the flat side. ;)

.In lots ofpain, no pain pump he had to remove it. :'( they got pulled out sometime last night so all I have is a pill for pain.
April 23, 2014
Oh no! Today is harder, but the Percocet is helping as well as the Valium. I hope they can give you something really strong.
April 23, 2014
Nope just the percocet is all I have and phenergren for nausea. I was able to go home this afternoon and the CSR ride home was a little much made me sick. Ifi can get through these next few days it should be smooth sailing I hope.

I spoke too soon about not feeling too bad. I now hv a headache. I should prob eat something but just the thought makes me nauseous. Hope u can sleep. My dr said I could also take ambian. Kinda in that stage ,"why did I do this?'"
April 24, 2014
Thanks for the support. I was vomiting last night. Felt like all my stiches were being ripped apart. Dr is switching meds today. Still hv a headache. I feel terrible:(
April 24, 2014
Thanks for checking in. I still have a headache and changed from Percocet to Vicodin. Hope that helps. Still can't eat though. Will try an ensure soon. See my dr tomorrow at noon, and am hoping tomorrow I'd a better day. So frustrated and tired:(

I'm feeling a little better this afternoon. Had a bm which gave me hot flashes and nausea. Little more mobile. Standing up straighter and straighter. Each time.
April 24, 2014
My first day all I ate were saltines crackers and ginger ale......I've been taking 2000 vitamin c for swelling and colace........everyday and rub arnica jel on belly.....you might wanna try it..... I missed 1 day and felt like crap!!! Feel better Ladies ;)

I had dull lingering headache at the hospital. I think it was from the meds and no food. but after I got some food in me the headache went away. however still trying to deal with the nausea have phenegren for it helps a alot. just sticking to a lighter meals on the belly. I hope that your feeling better this evening.
April 25, 2014
Thanks everyone for the great support. Managed to drink an Ensure which helped with my headache. Hope tomorrow is the day to start feeling better. Just want to really hug my kids and shower!! :) sweet dreams everyone
April 25, 2014
Glad to hear u r feeling better :) just rest.....listen to your body!!!! I know it's hard I thought I was doing pretty good so I showered and went out yesterday.....boy was I wrong!!!!! I was back home in less than a few hours with awful back pain!!! First time for that but I think it's because I drove 30 min there and back and sat the rest of the time....haven't really sat in a week I was standing to walk or reclining in my bed .....we have the reclining sleep number. The best bed ever!!! I'll be taking it easy a bit longer.... :)
April 25, 2014
So envious of your bed!! I set myself up in the media room so at least there's entertainment. Heading now to dr's and will see what's under this girdle! Can't wait. Shower seems heavenly:) rest well and chat later,
Stacey
