First I would like to say I am so loving this website. I found it while looking at someone's TT journey on YouTube. Hi I'm 50yrs young, married and have giving birth to two children. I didn't get my jelly belly from giving birth I believe it's hereditary, basically all the woman in my family have it.

I've dieted and exercise off and on for quite some time and can't get rid of this belly. I remember years ago me and my sister heard that if you sleep on your stomach on a hard back cover book that you can get a flat stomach. Like a nut we tried it, to no avail we still had the bellies. So now my TT is scheduled for April 11, 2011. I am soooo excited.

I'm on this site every day, and receiving so much information. I thank you all for sharing your journeys.

My pre-op is scheduled for April 7. I'm ready for this to happen but sometimes i ger nervous, I guess like everyone else. I'm just praying everything goes well, and for the first time ever that I have a flat stomach in the end. I hope that I can get these before pictures up(1st time ever loading pic to a site) wish me well and I'll talk to you later.

Hey everybody I have 11 more days until the
big day. I'm so excited and can't wait. I do
have a question if anyone can help with an
answer please do. I heard that colostrum was
good for healing after surgery. I've google it and read a lot of testimonies on it and it
sounds good. I bought some and stared using it
now before the pre-op but will ask my ps. But just wanted to known if anyone have heard or used colostrum?

Just reread the book part. Too funny. I remember when I was 9 my best friend told me if we would suck our tummies in real heard when we ate the fat couldn't go down to our bellies and would stop at our chests leaving us with flat tummies and big boobs. Boy was I disappointed with the outcome of that!! Kids ;-)

Hey everybody 5 days and counting. Boy i'm I ready for this. I'm so excited i'm about to burst. I have one concern and that is it's allergy season, i've never really had that much of a problem but lately i've been sneezing a lot and i'm thinking after the surgery if I sneeze like i've been sneezing i'm gonna be in a lot of pain.
