Fitafter40 Going Back Again 07/2015!!!

I'm scheduled for a Tummy Tuck & Liposuction of Flanks on March 7, 2014. I'm 45 yrs young standing 5'7 & 186 lbs. I'm the mother of 5 beautiful children, ages 3, 6, 11& twins 14. My super husband of 10 years is supportive & encouraging in my decision. I've wanted a tt since my last child, I put on over 45 lbs that I'm finally starting to get rid of. My shape is all over the place, I desire a eye catching body.

I want to take the opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you beautiful ladies for sharing your personal stories. I greatly appreciate your honesty and your informative information that you share. I've begun purchasing my post surgery supplies and would not never known to get some of the items that you've shared in properly healing and caring for my new me.

I'm educating myself as much as I can about my procedure the pro's and con's. I've created my post op shopping list of items I will need to make the process as smooth as possible. I received my labs back today and everything was good, thanks "One A Day" multivitamin. I will start my Arnica tea regiment early February. Arnica is a herb that comes from sunflowers used in healing, decreasing swelling and reducing pain if started 3 to 4 weeks prior to surgery. I'm so thankful for RS it has been really informative for me. I'm anxious about joining the flat side, after having 5 children and always doing for them it's refreshing to do something for me. I've wanted to do this for the past 3 years, but various reasons would always make it impossible to have it done.
