I am a mother of 2. Im 32 years old. I had my first child at 17 and ended up with toxemia and completely stretched my skin to the max. I never bounced back from that. I go in for the TT im the morning. Ive been reading the blogs for almost a week now and find them helpful. My nerves are on edge. Im affraid I am not going to get the results I want. But anything has to me better than the muffin top. I'll try to keep an update on here as much as I can. I know everyones stories have helped me.

I feel pretty good. pain level is very tolerable. Im on my phone so i can't type much. my husband cleaned my gauze so i go a sneak peek. I can't believe this is my new belly. I stare at the pictures thinking Im just dreaming. My PS is a true artist. I will post pics. keep in mind Im still swollen though. Prayers to all in recovery and to those about to make this life changing journey!

Post Op Day 2
So far this morning is going good. I drank prune juice yesterday and it worked. worked better than I expected. I can't figure out how to post pics from my phone. I'll try to get my husband to do it on the laptop. even though I can't stand up straight I can tell a miracle has been performed. I love my new tummy and can't wait to get dressed. I even asked my husband if we could go to the up coming military ball so I could show off my new body. Huge change in my attitude. I hated getting out of bed because I new I would have to get dressed. Now it's exact opposite. Im ready for shopping! I hope and pray everyone is having a safe recovery.

Hello Kelsen, sounds like everything is going well.. Yippee. Can't wait to see pics.. My surgery is a week away.. :)
April 26, 2012
Kelsen, you look amazing.. I am so happy for you and your pictures have made me that much more excited about my surgery next friday.... Thank you
April 26, 2012
Thanks for the compliment. Im completely amazed at the difference in less than 24 hours. Im still swollen too. I can't wait to go shopping. I wish you the best for your new journey. For once I can't wait to get dressed and go out somewhere nice to show off. The worst part so far has been the bundle of nerves leading up to the surgery. Try to relax as much as you can. Everything will turn out great!
April 26, 2012
Thanks, you are so right on the nerves, I am making myself crazy.. I keep telling myself, don't think about it, everything will be just fine.. And then I try and visualize what I will look like and can't imagine anything other then my road map and sag.. Then I looked at your pics and was "wow"... It makes it so real..

WOW! you already look terrific and the hardest part is already finished! Don't be worried about anything--it's a BIG deal surgery and it is a process, not an event. Heal well!
And yes, prune juice is the bomb!
April 27, 2012
Wowzers!!! You look terrific, get lots of rest and heal well! Am I seeing right that you only have one drain?
April 27, 2012
Yep only one drain. I ment to ask him why only one when I was there last. I noticed everyone has been having 2. Thanks for the compliment!
