Two weeks and a wake up away from my TT
I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to think about my surgery and obsess over it the way I thought I would be lol right now I am working and in NP grad school. Finals may 13th and then surgery May 14th! So needless to say between work and school and my one year old there's not a lot of down time. But every now and again I realize, whoa this is happening! Am I prepared? Am I sure I want to do this? I'm like ocd and anal when it comes to my house and taking care of things, so this recovery is going to be hard definitely! And it's going to be extremely difficult not to be able to carry my son for a while :( People have told me recovery for a TT is easier than a c section... I don't know how true it is, but if it is then I'm gonna be just fine lol . today I'm going to post some before baby pics (when I was at my personal fitness best) and some after baby pics (what I currently look like at 5'0" 146lb ) I hope my experiences will help some people and please feel free to follow my journey and ask questions/ chat with me!!! Talk to u guys soon. Medical clearance set for May 7th :)

Just read and looked at your pic! You go gurl your time is coming! I am looking for sept to have mine done. Due to finances to raise the money for it! I will be following you! I have three boys and yes that ruined my stomach as well. I work by butt off at the gym and this has to get done to see my abs underneath! Good luck to you! :-)

Wish you the best ! I have a TT and BBL (revision to help my left butt cheek look a little more fuller) on May 15th. Nervous but getting things ready at home. I look forward to hear about your recovery! I hear eating more veggies, taking the prescribed tissue recover type natural vitamins all help.

Random but this annoys me
YES! I will have another baby. In like 4 -5years. NO I don't think it's a waste to get the TT now. Sorry but that comment is annoying me when I tell people that I'm having the surgery. I want to be happy now and 5 years is a long time. Plus it is possible to have a TT then have a baby and still look ok. I gained about 105 lbs with my son which is why I am left looking like this. I will do everything in my power (eating and exercise) the second time around and will not be left with as much damage. Ugh sorry. It's my choice. And who knows I may not be able to have another baby when the time comes, and that's ok with me too- why do people care? I feel like I'll be glad I did it in my thirties instead of my fourties! I want to enjoy running around and going places with my son NOW. Ugh ok end rant. Thanks for listening. Can anyone relate?

gurl you do what makes you HAPPY! it is your body and no one else's I had three kids because I didn't have that mentally you got which is great to stay healthy. I didn't take care of myself while I was having my kids. I started taking care of me six years ago and that is why I gotta get this done now. I never thought to do this cause of the money. but it will be well worth it. So, with that being said.... you go do what makes you HAPPY!

Thanks girl! It feels good hearing it from someone else . In order for me to be the best mom I can be I have to be healthy and happy too. It took me a while to realize that but I'm no good to my son if I'm miserable or unhealthy! So thanks for ur ear and insight :)

Don't even pay them any attention.. It's your body and a lot can happen in 5 years!! My 3rd child is turning 5 and I've never gotten back to that flat stomach compared to my first 2 kids.. And now have gotten so depressed and self conscious about my tummy that I started gaining more weight! So get your tummy tuck done to keep yourself happy.. I feel like I could have been a much better mom and definitely more active if I wasn't so self conscious all the time.. I always try to rush home because my stomach always feels heavy. Enjoy yourself!

You had a flat belly after your first two? Lucky!!!! Really though, Thanks for the words of encouragement! I know I am making the right choice , I just can't deal when people love to force their own opinions on you you know? Maybe I'm just Vichy today ahhaha

Lol vitchy worked!! Looked more bitchy than the actual word! I know what you mean people love to be heard.. But I think they are just jealous at how you will look much healthier and happier!
