Hi everyone! I’m so excited for my mommy makeover in just a couple weeks. My first pregnancy did a number on my stomach and I’m sooo excited to finally get my body back after 9 years of not feeling like myself.

9 days away from MM and having feelings of guilt and anxiety

Hi ladies. I’m wondering if anyone has struggled with feelings of guilt approaching your upcoming procedure, particularly a MM. I’ve been feeling very guilty about the time
I’m taking off to do this, asking people for help and the money that’s being spent for me to have this happen. Disclaimer: my husband DOES NOT make me feel this way. He’s excited for me. These are all my own feelings that I didn’t realize would be a side effect of having this procedure. The past two weeks I’ve felt myself being on edge, feeling depressed and sad for no real reason, quick to cry and I am NOT normally this way. I’m just wondering if anyone can relate. I know I’m happy and grateful I get to correct my body and I should just be embracing that, but I still feel a lot of guilt.

I had the same thing done as you in December also with a breast lift. Our stats are about the same. I did 405cc under the muscle. I also felt guilty at first taking time off work and spending the money. I will tell you it is worth every penny and the time it takes to recover. My kids are 18 and 21. I almost did this 15 years ago and felt way too guilty then with money being tighter, etc. My husband was also very supportive with my decision and he knew that I was doing this for myself and nobody else. I was very nervous a few days leading up to my surgery. I am 7 weeks out now and feeling great. I have been back at the gym for a few weeks. I was very nervous about the pain from the tummy tuck. My first born was a c-section and I had a lot of pain from that and figured this would be worse. My doctor used exparel and my pain was not near as bad as I thought it would be. Much less than my c-section. My breasts actually hurt worse than my tummy. Good luck to you! You will look amazing and feel wonderful!

Thank you so much for the response and sweet words and I’m so happy you’re doing/feeling well! I look forward to being that far along and getting back to my regular routine. So far I’m loving my results and trying to post an update picture but I can’t figure out how to add anther update... could be the Percocet lol. I’m happy you had your procedure after all
These years and you’re right, it’ll definitely be worth it!

I understand! I went through the same feelings. I have two kids, a supportive husband and help too. But I felt to guitly. I will same I’ve come to the understanding and true belief that in order to be the best YOU that you can be for your family, you MUST take care of yourself first. This is you taking care of yourself. It truly is. I got to the point where my tummy was taking up way too much of my thoughts during a normal day. It had no place in my day to day life yet I was obsessed with the way it looked after kids. Hates it! This surgery helped me be a better mom in part because I no long spend a good portion of my day thinking about it. I’m happier and when mom is happier, every one is.

Thank you so much for sharing your same experience and you’re totally right, in order to be the best versions of ourselves for our family we have to be happy. I’ve had so moments especially around summertime and going on vacations where I’d literally be depressed thinking about my stomach and chest. Went to therapy for years about it and when it gets to that point then it makes decision so much understandable. I was 22 and in the best shape of my life when I got pregnant and then I blew up! It was like overnight my body was something so unrecognizable and I had no time to mentally prepare for it. 9 years later I’ve fixed it. Thank you for the encouragement and sweet words! We deserve it!

Wow! Can’t believe the MM came and went- now healing time. I’ve been really strict about following doctor’s orders and getting lots of rest. I’ve been on a liquid diet because I’m soooo afraid of pooping and how bad it’ll hurt even with stool softeners. I finally took some laxatives last night but still nothing.
