I'm a 23yo mother of two. - 8 weeks post op - Lees Summit, MO

Got cleared to work out at my last appointment and I've started a new routine. Weighed myself today and I was 149 which is the lowest I have been since my hubby was in basic training and I hardly ate. Pretty exciting! I took some new pics and I'm pretty happy with what I see except for the pics from behind. I just need to lose that back fat and I will damn it! I'm going to get a tattoo to cover up my scar and I'm really excited to do it. Have any of you talked to your PS about getting one and how long you should wait to do so? I forgot to ask mine a my appointment. Anyways, not to much to really update about. Hopefully I will get measurements tomorrow.

So I have my six week check up tomorrow (a little late but whatev). I'm anxious and a little nervous for it. I know that I am going to most likely get cleared for working out and holy crap am I excited. I NEED to work out. I am overall happy either my tummy, but the flat tummy seems to accentuate my chubby love handles. I took look bad from the front, but you can definitely tell I have extra when you see me from behind. Also, when sitting down I don't have tummy rolls, but my love handles like fold over. its annoying. I'm trying to stay positive and think that once I get cleared to work out I will try my hardest and get this nasty fat off of me. I just need to work on my diet and focus really hard. Its been really weird lately because I have been going through swell hell. For some reason I have been swelling only above my belly button. it looks so weird, like an alien belly lol.

I need to take some updated photos and I will try to do so tomorrow as well as measure myself again. I need to go shopping!!! on the plus side I put on a pair of size 8 old navy shorts that I bought right before I found out I was pregnant with my second baby. they fit!!! makes me happy because from my other experience with old navy brand, their bottoms run small.

anyways, I will update again soon and let you all know how my post op goes tomorrow.

Today is 5wks and I'm kind of in the dumps. I just keep looking at my hips/back love handles and think, gosh I wish I would have gotten lipo or the extended tummy tuck. I'm just sad that I paid money hoping that I'd finally be happy with my body and it hasn't happend yet. I know, I know... I'm still fresh out but I don't know, I still look at others who ahd theirs done around the same time as me and they look so much better because they had lipo. Not to mention, a have talked to a few ladies who has extended tummy tucks and they said that they initially went in for a regular TT but their PS decided the extended would look bettter once they got in there... why the hell couldn't mine have done that?! Ugh. I just can't wait to go to my six week appointment and maybe complain so he will feel bad and maybe give me some free lipo LOL. Ugh. I'll update with new pics later.
