Hello everyone I am a 28 year old mother of two children (10,4). I am currently 5'7, 209lbs. After the birth of my first daughter I quickly lost my baby weight and was 185lbs, however after the 2nd birth I gained weight and never quite lost it all again.

Over the past few years my weight has been like a yoyo, it's never been hard for me to lose weight-Keeping it off is the issue, lol. No matter how much weight I lose, my tummy never budges. Getting a tummy tuck has always been a dream of mine, but I could never afford it. I recently got promoted with a significant increase in salary so I thought what better way to treat myself than with a tummy tuck!! I am so excited/nervous/anxious. I dream, think and eat about my surgery! Lol. I have found a lot of confidence and most of my questions have been answered on this website, so I decided to start my own journey. My PS did tell me I needed to lose about 20lbs before my surgery, and as of yesterday I was down 11lbs so I am confident that I’ll lose the other 9lbs by Nov 16th. I will definitely post some pre-surgery pics as the weeks progress, and then some after my surgery.

So I weighed myself this morning and I was 207lbs! So far I am down 13lbs and I want to lose another 10 before my surgery. It's now 29 days until my surgery and I'm wishing these days would zooom past! LOL. I met w/my PS yesterday to get my weight checked and to follow up on any questions I had (which were a lot!). Anyway I am going this weekend to purchase some things I will need for recovery and look at some recliners. Ttyl

I bought a recliner and it was the best purchase I made! I slept in it for the first two weeks. I got it ay Bobs. Do they have those in your area? http://www.mybobs.com/Bobopedicrecliner I got it in Bordeaux. It was only $299 and worth every penny!

I have exceeded my goal of 20lbs by 3 :) Anyway I want to make a list of things I will need and start picking them up this weekend. Any suggestions/words of advice would be greatly appreciated!
