So I decided to start tanning today....wow! ...

So I decided to start tanning today....wow! Should have covered my entire belly. I covered my scars, but didn't know I was supposed to be covering my belly as well! I immediately felt burnt as soon as the tanning bed came on. I got out after only 5 minutes b/c my belly was on fire!!!! I called the doctor's office and they told me that I shouldn't tan for 6-12 months and if I do to cover my belly up with a towel. :(
I guess I will have to live with a white belly for a while....oh well!!

Otherwise I am doing great!! I went to Wal Mart and bought a neoprene Gold's Gym workout band ($5) for my belly to help with the swelling. It makes me sweat some of the fluid out. And it adds a little extra support.

It has been a little over 6 weeks since my Mommy...

It has been a little over 6 weeks since my Mommy Makeover. I am sorry I am just now posting but my home computer would not let me log in here. Anyways, I love my results!! I am still swollen in some areas and I expect to be for a while. My breasts are looking and feeling great! They are still settling in. My belly is flat and my belly button is awesome looking...very round and natural looking just like I wanted! My hips are still a little hard from the lipo, but getting better every day.

I had little pain through recovery. I would say the lipo has been the most painful and it just feels like a deep bruise, so nothing major. I would do it 10 times over!!

I was a little vague in my first post......

I was a little vague in my first post....here's a little....ok lot more about me:
I have had 3 kids...not having anymore. I weighed 120 lbs when I got pregnant with my first son, I weighed 197 lbs the day I had him. I lost all of that weight except for 10 lbs and I looked fine! I got on "the shot" and I gained about 55 lbs and could never get it off..no matter what I did. Well then came the second son...I weighed 164 lbs when I got pregnant with him and I weighed around 235 lbs when I had him. I got back down to 170ish and then I got pregnant with my daughter. I weighed around 240 lbs when I had her.
With diet and some exercise I have managed to get down to 175 lbs (I'm 5'7"). I have a very saggy belly...no breasts and some extra fat on the hips that won't go away.
On Monday, Feb 21st, 2011 I am having a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation (under the muscle 500cc saline) and lipo on the hips.
Questions that won't stop running through my head:
(1) What if something happens to me? (God forbid)
(2) Am I going too big on the implants? Will I look stupid???
(3) Am I going to go stir crazy the first week?? lol!!
(4) Am I going to freak out and back out??

Ok...too many things to mention!! I guess I'm looking for some "it'll be ok" and "you'll be fine"...and all that warm fuzzyness!

;)
