Finally the day came and I'm in recovery now.

So I had surgery Monday AM, had to be there at 6am. I was nervous but got lots of support when I arrived which helped calm me and they had soothing spa music playing where I had to change into my gown/etc.

Had a ton a crazy markings of course. We decide more of a curvy bbl, and Doc knew of my desire for an hourglass. I've always been big built and athletic. My smaller back in school while playing ports and had tropes plus conditioning daily, I was only a size 8 with a bubble butt.
I'm not meant to be much smaller. Having 3 large 10lb baby boys naturally, my tummy was so stretched out. I work out consistently and eat clean. But weight just falls off so slowly.
So this surgery was to really show off these curve I've been working so hard to show.

Today is day 4 PO. I'm walking more and more every time I get up to pee. The back pain is terrible and feels like cramps/labor pain. Which I've gone full natural with two of my boys and the pain reminded me of that. Just so glad I have strong thighs so help me sit and get around and stand up.

I was about a size 12 sometimes higher and sometimes a 10 depending on the brand.

I'm super swollen so I have no clue what I'll be wearing after this!

I got a full mommy makeover- lipo 360, bbl, extended tummy tuck, Chin, inner thigh & knee area Lipo, BL & implant. (I wanted as high profile as possible that I could get).

But overall I'm resting off and on, peeing and emptying drains every time I get up to pee, so I can keep good suction on the drains to help move the lymphatic liquids.

So thankful my mom was able to work around her remote job to care for me. Husband works so much. My 3 boys are in sports all year around, so summer was the bet option for me to plan this. I'm so glad the day came and it past, now I can focus on recovery. It's uncomfortable but doable. Using tons of pillows. Drains hurt too, kinda a burning sensation when they pull or move a little bit. So I'm nervous for when they decide to take them out.
Here are some before and after pics.

Dr. Stompro in the East Bay Area was wonderful. My husband golfs with him and that ow we finally talked my husband into letting me get my mommy makeover! Yay!

I'll update more next week, but I don't regret it at all. Xo

Still swollen, but it going down. Off all pain meds, only taking supplements to help healing etc, still have drains in until early next week.
But here are my pic today after my shower.

I’m excited to see the swelling go down and to get my drains out, as well as get the go ahead to start massaging my breasts to help the fluff and drop.

I’ve had a request for more before pictures, I’ve been meaning to post them anyway…. So here are some before pics and hopefully they help. Before stats: I’m 5’7, 38dd, approx size 12/14 depending on brand, 211lbs. I worked out nearly every day and do lots of weight training as well. I eat clean, more like a whole 30, but as I’ve gotten older I just haven’t been able to lose easy at all. Plus after having 3 large 10lb babies, my stomach and muscles were very stretched out, along with over 3 years of breastfeeding, my boobs were deflated and saggy.

So I’m excited for my healing progress so I can finally start feeling like the fit person I’ve been working the last couple of years to become. :) I’ve always worked out over the years, but the last couple of yers have been the MOST consistent, working out nearly every day. But I refuse to do drastic diets. I believe in clean/organic Whole Foods whenever possible and splurging once a week. But not the whole day. Lol. Just a meal. However sit and exercise just haven’t gotten me to my goals and I’ve always been thick/curvy. My smallest I was in school was size 6/8 with a bubble butt and I was always athletic with thick thighs. I’ve never once had a 6 pack… but it is what it is, I just want a flat & tight tummy. :)
